Report Based On The Project Done On Work Stress

Question: Describe progress report based on the project done? Answer: Report Based on the project done on work stress and its impact on the performance of employee in Information Technology sector, it has been found that, there is definitely major impact on the performance of the employee due to the work pressure. Purpose of this report is to summarise the overall analysis which has been done for the topic selected. Thus topic selected for this particular was relationship between job stress and employees performance. Selected sector for this analysis was information technology. This report represents the plan on project during the period of 1st November till 30th December2014. Aim of the project was to understand various issues related to job stress, and its impact on the employee performance. Even though, IT being a main stream employment sector, it was relatively easy to find relevant data. However, there were certain issues faced during the execution of the project, like many of the employees who were interviewed as part of survey were not forthcoming abou t the information which was required. Also, IT companies do not admit in public domain about stress related issues and its impact on employee information, due to which most of the information was relatively implicit in nature. There is no doubt that today work pressure in IT sector has taken epidemic proportions which is impacting both personal and professional life of an employee working in the company. As a result of the project prepared, it was found that there are multiple reasons behind work pressure. Firstly at times it is related to financial matters, for example an employee might not be satisfied with the compensation being offered to him, In that case he will probably not perform up to the mark, and this will further complicate the situation as non-performance will result into increase in the work pressure. This project on employee stress and its impact on the employee performance was executed for a period of one month between 1st Novemeber2014 till 30th December2014. As part of this execution one important finding is that work press and relationship with performance is closely related to each other. Both forms a vicious circle in which if an employee fails to perform it results in further work pressure, whereas if employee approaches a work with negative mind set and work pressure than again there will be impact on the final performance of the employee. Hence it is important for an employee to understand the core reasons which are resulting into work pressure. It has been found that often poor time management skills of employees are also responsible for lack of performance. However, managers and organisational policies of an IT company are equally responsible for work pressure and poor performance. That is why, it is important for organisations today to have constant touch with their e mployees behaviour. If any kind of behavioural change is observed, then discussion should be arranged with that employee, so that his thought process can be understood, and according relevant steps can be taken to rectify the situation. Managers have also played a major role in the work pressure and poor performance of an employee. Often mangers allocate work which disproportionate to the capability of the employee, however in order to prove oneself, employees also readily accept the work, later on to realise that work accepted might be beyond their capacity or expertise, this situation further creates a demand from employees perspective to sustain himself in the market. That is why, it is important for IT organisations, and for that matter any other organisation in the different sector to have dedicated policy related to stress management of employees. It will enable employees to share their concerns with an authority that can guide them properly and help them in getting away from a stressful situation, also employees should be taught proper time management skills to ensure that they can effectively manage their work and avoid from any potential work related stress.
