The well-being and satisfaction of the employee can directly contribute to the  growth of an organisation. Assessments include  understanding how employees feel about their work, colleagues, superiors and juniors, and how this impacts their  attention and productivity. A lack of job satisfaction can increase the attrition rate, affecting the company’s performance. Therefore, employees and employers need to be aware of psychological and physical consequences of their satisfaction at work and understand what changes need to be made to optimise their performance.

In an organisation, an employee’s development is based on their ability to adjust to the challenges and conflicts that they may face. Having a strong support system at the work place can help reduce friction. Strengthening interpersonal relationships is important so as to minimise conflicts and maximise high-yielding relationships.

Assessments that deal with the same can help resolve interpersonal conflicts so that a team can achieve the highest level of functioning.

After ascertaining their aptitude, employees and employers can assign work better to ensure that everyone is working to the best of their abilities with ease and comfort.

An employee’s psychological well-being refers to their individual levels of positive functioning. This can include their belief about their mastery and personal growth, along with how they relate with those around them. Psychological wellbeing includes how one thinks, feels and behaves. It helps determine how one handle stress, relate to others and make decisions. These elements have a significant bearing on how an individual is at the workplace.

Quality of life is the degree to which an individual is healthy, comfortable and able to participate in or enjoy life events. Generally speaking, QOL is a powerful predictor of mortality and morbidity than many objective measures of health. In a  work environment, QOL measures are indicators of unmet needs and a predictor of intervention outcomes meant to improve productivity and efficacy. Quality of life or quality of work life is tied to happier employees and also better business results. When the quality of work-life is stable, productivity is bound to increase and so does the level of employee retention. The importance of quality of work life is to extend jobs and working conditions that are beneficial for employees as well as economic strength of the organization. A quality of life assessment helps to improve and understand the employee’s attitude towards their work work and improves the performance of the organisation as a whole.

Employee productivity  is an assessment of the efficiency of an individual or a group working together. Productivity may be evaluated in terms of the output of an employee in a specific period of time.  As much of the success of any organization relies upon the productivity of its workforce, employee productivity is an important consideration for businesses. It is for this reason that assessment of productivity is critical to set realistic goals and objectives for an organisation or part thereof. Once these goals are set an employee can further understand how to apply their skills in a judicious manner to maximise their efficiency.

Diagnostic assessment are used to leanr when and what kind of adjustments and changes need to be made so as to facilitate growth. It plays a significant role in workplace outcomes for all employees. It assesses  the nature and extent of difficulties that they have, which if left undiagnosed might limit their engagement in their profession and their ability to fully participate in the requirements of the same. Making an organisation inclusive starts with understanding the individual’s strengths, skills and challenges. For an employee, a workplace diagnostic assessment offers support that’s specific to the job. A diagnostic assessment is not a ‘test’ of the employee or employer but designed to create a more positive working environment for the employee, manager and colleagues.

One of the biggest problems faced by employees is the workplace stress that has severe implications in terms of burnout and other physiological manifestations. Workplace stress is said to be the harmful physical and emotional responses that takes place when there is a conflict between job demands on the employee and the amount of control an employee has over meeting those demands. Measuring stress through the means of a valid and reliable assessment is necessary to prevent falling prey to the same. The lack of physical and mental energy can prevent an employee from doing their best, which will have a significant impact on productivity and their ability to effectively engage with the tasks and demands of their respective roles in the organisation.

Cognitive functioning encompasses the brain’s mental processes that deal with acquiring knowledge and information. These mental processes include paying attention, learning, memory, information processing and problem-solving. Our cognitive abilities have a lot to do with how we understand and perceive the world, resulting in how we act in it. These mental abilities and skills are what we use to carry out any and all tasks – from the simplest to the most complex. Cognitive function isn’t necessarily the knowledge you keep in your brain, but rather the ability to store that knowledge and use it. It has more to do with the ways we learn and how we use, process and store information. It also includes a set of executive functions (hence relating to our dimension of work), which includes abilities such as an individual’s flexibility, insight into other peoples’ worlds, decision-making, emotional self-regulation and inhibition. Cognitive functions play a critical role in our abilities at work. Employees need the mental processes involved in cognitive function to complete tasks, make decisions and adapt to our work environment and the duties that come with it. When these mental process are jeopardized, it negatively impacts productivity and ability to do work in the best manner possible. It is therefore necessary to evaluate levels of cognitive functioning and formulate plans to optimise functioning and the aforementioned can undoubtedly be achieved through the means of a neuropsychological or cognitive assessment.

Taking adequate rest is extremely important for a healthy mind and therefore allows for better results in the workplace. Some of the most serious potential problems associated with chronic sleep deprivation are high blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure or stroke. We can effectively state that inadequate sleep causes serious problems in both personal and professional spaces. Sleep deprivation negatively affects work performance—productivity and quality—and working relationships. Without adequate sleep, employees have more difficulty concentrating, learning, and communicating. Memory lapses also increase because of the same. As it is crucial for a business to diagnose sleep patterns and disorders, an evaluation of sleep patterns is of utmost importance. Such assessments inevitably help to rectify issues for the sake of the health of the employee and the prosperity of the organisation.
