PART-A Long service awards
Introduction
Staff Long-term career honours differ between organisations. Long-term achievement
promotions are just a means for employers to say thank you. This is a way to acknowledge
your efforts for years to come. Staff are not paid anymore for gold watches or clocks in
carriage. The current developments are instead the use of gift cards, electrical products, gift
experiences, etc. Long-term honours have been a fundamental honour (McClean and et. al.,
2020).
Purpose
Workers tend to make every day of their life a precious and valuable storey and share
every memory of their history. You want to gladly look back on your life, love each moment
and leave your future full of adventure and confusion. They like to be open to life, meet new
people, enjoy it and at the end of the day they don't miss anything.
Benefits
They will increase engagement, sales, morale and more by expressing respect to the
staff. You will demonstrate your respect by presenting staff with a service certificate. In the
meantime, the overall market success even benefits.
 Improve retention: Staff that feel respected are more likely to remain in the same
business. The staff probably would want to hear about their jobs. They are more
committed to sticking in the same employer as they know they are respected for a job
well done.
 Increases engagement: Employee participation in the country has risen by 34%. In the
meantime, it will enhance the effectiveness of the team by 21%. While keeping the
staff involved, you can identify specific goals for your job.
 Foster appreciation: Celebrating the staff with a service certificate helps them to
respect themselves. They also express your gratitude for their hard work and admire
their commitment to the business. Take the time to thank the staff for their years of
work. This helps to enhance your appreciation for you and the business. Indeed, a
service award gives the entire business a celebration. It recognise that jobs are
retained for a long time. As a consequence, they are going to show the whole squad
that you value it.

 Create connections: A service award that lasts years often creates links through the
business. They are showing workers that they blend into the business by remembering
these years of service. It will also help them fight depression in every workplace, in
addition to helping better bond with other employees.
 Potential tax benefits: Years of honours provide future tax advantages. Many nations
have tax benefits where the initiative meets particular tax conditions. As a
consequence, this will save the business significantly.
Background
A service reward provides an enterprise with an incentive for an individual to
celebrate their longevity or longevity. The way a company recognises an individual with a
contribution reward comes with several variants. The way people work and how much they
move jobs has changed in recent years. The workers of today have a lower chance of being at
work for 20 years. The average service life for a UK worker is approximately five years,
according to insurer LV. At this point, most people would not meet the usual milestones for
employee support prizes and it is possible to show your employees how you care every day.
Recommendations
Institutions do well to benefit from the warm emotions of their employees that a
service award generates. A service award that is silently granted without pomp and conditions
will fail to grant employee morality benefits and opportunities. Publicly extended rewards
and acknowledgment increase the importance of recognition to the recipients. Provide the
criteria of the service award team. For example, an item such as a plaque or an additional
recognition of gratitude that employees may view over years must be included in the service
award. There is no remembrance of a donation of money that is wasted that has no enduring
significance as a good recollection of the staff.
This same work bonus should be the single benefit or salary aspect that honours the
duration of your organization's work by an employee. Lengths of employment are commonly
known only for work in the public sector and for positions represented by unions in the public
and private sectors.
Conclusion
Many members of a community Year of service programmes and claim that there is
no unexpected and customised touch on planned and predictable celebrations. They sound
generic, in other words. Furthermore, typical festivals are not dependent on the employee's

real ability or abilities. We can clearly see that these statements are actually not true in the
case of modern systems.
PART-B Wellbeing
Introduction
Well-being is a safe, happy and prosperous feeling. It requires healthy mental health,
high quality of life, reason or intention and stress management. Well-being in general just
feels good. Wellness is something everyone wants, because it contains so many positive
things which sound happy, safe, linked socially and purposeful. Unfortunately, in the United
Kingdom at least, well-being seems to be declining. And it is difficult to improve your well-
being without learning what to do and how to do it (Mensah and et. al., 2021).
Mental wellbeing
It is not a lack of depressive thoughts and feelings that good mental well-being is
important. All of person face difficult and difficult circumstances which makes them feel
frustrated, sad, exhausted and intermediate. It's about understanding and managing the
emotions instead. It is not the same as psychology, but both will affect each other. Long
periods of poor mental comfort can lead to diagnostic disorders such as anxiety or depression.
Individuals can feel poorer mental stability if you live with a mental health problem, but
they'll always retain healthy mental well-being for a long time (Seligman and et. al., 2020).
Physical wellbeing
Physical welfare consists of the capacity to conduct physical tasks and play social
functions not impeded by physical disabilities and body pain perceptions and biological
markers of fitness. The lack of illness is not only a condition of physical well-being. It
requires lifestyle decisions to ensure wellness, eliminate illnesses and disorders that can be
avoided, and exist in a healthy state of mind, body and spirit.
Social wellbeing
Organizations are visual beings that rely on each other, who are like others, dependent
on one another, for our well-being. People must love and be loved to be nice. They must be
part of and associated with. Loneliness is the worst type of retribution. People long confined
in solitary confinement suffer neurological trauma, like hallucinations; panic attacks; open
paranoia; decreased regulation of impulses, hypersensitivity to environmental stimuli; and
difficulty with thought, focus and memory.

Stress
Stress is a natural, everybody's human reaction. The human body is actually
programmed to suffer and respond to stress. When one experiences (stressors), physical and
mental responses are generated. Stress reactions allow the body to adapt to new conditions.
Stress can be optimistic, warning and encouraged to prevent risk. Stress can be positive. For
example, a stress response might allow the body to work better and remain awake for longer
if a person has an important trial. But stress remains a challenge as stressors are relieved or
relaxed.
Anxiety
Anxiety is a natural feeling, and is also healthy. However, a person can become a
mental condition when he or she frequently senses disproportionate anxiety levels. Fear
disorders constitute a group of diagnoses of mental health that cause extreme nervousness,
fear, anticipation and concern. This diseases affect the way an individual processes and acts
feelings and causes physical effects. Mild anxiety can be ambiguous and disturbing, and
extreme anxiety can impair daily life severely.
Depression
Depression is considered to be a mood condition. It can be defined as feelings of
sorrow, loss or frustration, which interfere with the daily activities of an individual. It's very
normal, too. Trusted Source reports that 8.1% of Europeans aged twenty and over suffer from
depressions for a specified time of two weeks from 2013 to 2016. The Centres for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC). Depression occurs in many forms of people. It can affect your
day-to-day job, leading to time loss and reduced productivity. It may also affect marriages
and some underlying disorders of health.
Intrusive and suicidal thoughts
Suicidal behaviour death is a big issue in public health that has a deep influence on
families. Many individuals at risk of suicide pursue and obtain assistance annually, eventually
saving untold grief for themselves and their loved ones. The positive news is that early
screening and successful therapy will also avert death by suicide. As a business, we recognise
that these resources are crucially needed. A more and more lives will be spared as awareness
of this health condition grows.
Trauma
Trauma is an outcome that overpowers a person's capacity to adapt, gives rise to
hopelessness, and reduces their own feelings and their ability to express a wide array of

emotions and experiences. It does not discriminate and is widespread worldwide. The World
Health Organization's Global Mental Health Survey showed that at least a majority of the
over 125,000 individuals polled in 26 countries had trauma.
Conclusions
Safety and well-being development strives to meet the best achievable health levels at
all ages. It should be driven by the values, objectives and objectives of the Agenda for 2030
while building on Health 2020 and applying a strategy of justice, gender and human rights.
Investment must be local, state, international and global and allows participatory decision-
making governance based on the Solidarity Concept. Investment can leverage the SROI
across the whole health and safety spectrum, in the areas of preventing, treating,
rehabilitating, caring and helping diseases.
PART-C Internship
Introduction
The intern is an organization's job experience for a short duration. A stay for a variety
of positions in corporations, non-profit organisations and government bodies once restricted
to medical graduates. They are usually done by students and graduates who are interested in
acquiring competence and expertise in a specific area. This investments favour employers
because they also hire their best practitioners who have known skills, saving on time and
resources. Practice programmes are typically arranged on behalf of business associations by
third-party agencies that employ interns (Webber and et. al., 2020).
Internship for a fee
Organizations seek for staff also locate students on internships that are mostly unpaid
at a cost. These businesses bill students in research support and promise to reimburse the cost
if there is no internship. The programmes differ and are intended to provide internships to
well-known businesses. Certain enterprises may also have supervised accommodation,
funding, networking or academic credit in a new city. Some services have additional
compliments, such as language courses, networking activities, local trips, etc.
Some firms finance bonds and grants to applicants with low incomes. Internship
criticism is against the practise that some university credits are only earned through unpaid
internships. This is often seen as an ethical activity, depending on the cost of education, as
students need to replace paying tuition loans and often restricted to the sharing of unrepayed

jobs. Academic credit is a means of ensuring that students finish the internship, since their
academic school is responsible for them (Flynn and Messias, 2020).
Advantages of internship
Boosts productivity of an individual: Additional hands will increase your productivity
levels and enhance your full-time staff's focus on key business operations. Transfer to staff
who are keen to appreciate the method and learn something new some of the easier short-
term assignments and programmes.
Community benefits: The development of an internship programme is an excellent
way to return the community and demonstrate that you appreciate its support. Recruitment of
staff from local schools, colleges and universities would help expand jobs and improve local
staff.
Develops leadership skills: An intern to send them a mentor is a smart way to ensure
that newly employed management or promotional workers get to experiment with
management skills. The person may need advice when he or she is new to management.
However, starting with an intern is also less exhausting than leading staff and offers novice
hires or managers a chance to develop and exercise new management and leadership skills.
This can be excellent experience for an employee who ultimately occupies a role in
management.
Saves recruitment time and cost: Saving new recruits time, recruiting and boarding
new members of the team is a timely and costly operation, particularly when you concentrate
on full-time and interns. One of the main advantages is to find high-quality applicants
without screening hundreds of resumes and interviews with people who are eligible or not.
Disadvantages of Internships
Time consuming: When an intern has special preparation, it will take longer for
workers to get on with the task of the staff. It is a smart thing to use a shifting planner to
ensure that the intern does not suck up too much attention from a certain staff member, to get
around this and take advantage of an intern’s time. An internship normally helps both the
company and the student, but note that you may not be prepared to get into the field.
Lack of experience: That is not the same as hiring an employee while a person is
taking on an intern. They cannot make a consistent contribution to the company as a seasoned

full-time employee. Since you lack this expertise, you will have to account for possible
misunderstandings or early errors in your work. It is all part of the journey of learning.
Conclusions
In short, this internship was a very good and enjoyable experience. I may infer that
I've learned a lot from my job. The technological dimensions of my work are obviously not
perfect and can be changed enough for as long as they are available. I conclude that my time
in research and discovery was well worth it and led to an appropriate solution to create a fully
functional Web services, as an individual without experience. The time management skills
and self-motivation are two key topics where I have learnt the worth.
