Abstract

This paper aims at understanding the effects of outsourcing of HRM practices on employee health with the main areas of interest being mental health, stresses, and work-life balance. If the well-being of the workers is beneficial for the organisation, this study aims to assess sound methods of HRM that may influence positive employee health. The main research question focuses on what records the impact of HRM practices on the health of the employees and the difficulties faced by the HR managers in the processes of implementing the practices. The study is based on the frameworks of organisational behaviour and human resource management with references to mental health issues, stress, and work-life balance.

To gather data the study applies a qualitative method of research that includes 10 HRM professionals from different organisations in Australia in a way of semi-structured interviews. Thus, this methodology allows for additional investigation of the situation, including the assessment of the effectiveness of present policies and determining obstacles to their implementation. The study shows that organisations must enhance mental health care of employees and employ flexible working arrangements to mitigate stress while improving employees' job satisfaction. Consequently, this has power implications for the existing body of knowledge in the field of employee well-being and comes up with recommendations that will help in improving HRM practices and thus efficiency in the Organisation.
