Analytical Report Final: Topic : Employee Wellness, Company: Google
1
AR Work Plan Outline: Employee Wellness
Company: Google
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
As Google has been cultivating a sophisticated performance culture, the work pressure has
become very high, and everyone become very busy at work without sufficient consideration of
personal health. Despite the company’s commitment to fostering wellness, this challenge may
hinder the company’s effort to sell the newest products, which, in turn, would put some pressure
on the health of the workers. By evaluating and optimizing the existing wellness plans, the project
will work towards enabling the employees a better quality of life and workplace productivity.
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF WORK
This report will examine the effectiveness of the preventive programs on Google
employees and propose the areas that can be modified to increase workers’ physical and mental
health. Such a study will investigate the effect of health and wellness programs on employees’
productivity, perspective, and health outcomes. Scope refers to the analysis, benchmarked against
the industry best practices, to highlight the strengths and weaknesses while identifying the sections
where genuine integration is feasible.
SOURCES AND METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION
The research will utilize a mixed-methods approach:
•
Secondary Research: Review research, reports, and benchmark data of successful
employee wellness programs in the tech industry and compare them with the results of our
wellness programs.
•
Primary Research: Conduct surveys and interviews with Google Employees who utilize
the existing wellness programs to get the point of view of their effectiveness and reception.
Partner with the HR team to access health and performance metrics in anonymity.
•
Expert Consultations: Engage with wellness program experts and organizational
psychologists to gain prescriptive information on wellness programs and their
effectiveness.

Components of Formal Analytical Research Reports
Formal analytical research reports are divided into many segments to make information
comprehensible and accessible. Following is a list of the required components:
Cover: Enclose the report in vinyl or a heavy paper binder and spiral binding to protect the
pages and to give a professional, finished appearance (For hardcopy submissions only).
Aesthetic Title Page: A title page that includes title, team name, logo, and elements of color
and design as appropriate to give the report a polished appearance.
Title Page: The title page includes the name of the report; the name, title, and organization of
the individual receiving the report; the author(s) name(s) plus any necessary identification; and
the date of submission.
Biography Page: A picture of each team member in business attire (or one picture of all team
members) and a short bio (50-75 words) of each team member by his or her picture.
Letter or Memo of Transmittal: A letter or memo of transmittal introduces the report by giving
a personalized overview of the formal report. It addresses the person who is designed to
receive the report and make the decision on recommendations. Use a memo if you (author) are
a regular employee of the organization for which you prepare the report; use a letter if you are
not. The transmittal (1) tells when and by whom the report was authorized and the purpose it
was to fulfill; (2) gives an overview of the research conducted; (3) highlights the report’s
findings, conclusions and recommendations; (4) indicates minor problems encountered in your
investigations and how you surmounted them; (5) points out additional research that is
needed; (6) closes with appreciation for the assignment, instructions for follow-up,
acknowledgement of help from others, and offers assistance with questions.
Table of Contents: The table of contents shows the headings in the report and their page
numbers.
List of Figures: The list of figures or illustrations may appear on the same page as the table of
contents, space permitting. For each figure or illustration, include a title and page number.
Executive Summary: The executive summary presents an overview of the long report. The goal
is to summarize the important points including the purpose of the report; the problem
addressed; and the findings, conclusions, and recommendations. You should also summarize
the research methods used, such as the CSULB library’s business databases. The executive
summary’s paragraphs may be separated by headings, but it should only contain 250 words or
less.
(The preceding documents are numbered separately from the report itself. Usually, Roman
numerals are used.)
Introduction: (Begins on page number 1) The Introduction of a formal analytical research report
describes the background, explains the purpose, and discusses the significance, scope, and
organization of the topic.
Body: The principal section of a formal analytical research report is the body. It discusses,
analyzes, interprets, and evaluates the research findings and solution to the initial problem.
This is where you show evidence that justifies your conclusions and recommendations.
Organize the body into main categories following your original outline.
Conclusions and Recommendations: This important section tells what the findings mean,
particularly in terms of solving the original problem. In other words, discuss what you believe
the evidence reveals and what you propose should be done about it. Give clear and concise
reasons behind your conclusions and recommendations. Recommendations require an
appropriate introductory sentence, such as The findings and conclusions in this study support
the following recommendations.
Appendix (Optional): Incidental or supporting materials belong in appendixes at the end of a
formal report.
References: The References page lists only those works actually cited in the report text. Using
American Psychological Association (APA) format, list your secondary research sources. Refer to
your textbook and/or the CSULB Library’s online links such as Purdue University’s Online
Writing Lab (OWL) for APA format information and samples.

Edition, by Mary Ellen Guffey and Business Communication: Building Critical Skills, 3rd Edition,
by Kitty O. Locker and Stephen Kyo Kaczmarek. Most business communication textbooks show
samples of formal reports and their required components.)
