CHAPTER-1
INTRODUCTION

1.1 Theoretical Background


Welfare provides the satisfaction to the employee that increases their
productivity. This is the responsibility of the organization to provide the benefits to
the employees. If employees are satisfied, it increases the productivity of the
employees and also provides the growth to the organization. Now a day employees
are considered as a valuable assets of the organization if these assets are glossed
over, it leaves an adverse impact on the growth of the organization. Growth and
development of the organization is directly proportionate to the welfare of the
human power. So the employee welfare is one of the important elements of the
organization. Welfare aim is to increase the productivity in an organization.
Welfare always has a positive impact on the relationship between management and
employees. Welfare is an important function of the HR department. Every
department in an organization formulates their objective in accordance with the
organization objectives and to achieve those objectives strategies are formulated.
HR strategy follows organizational strategy with some interactive linking.
This project investigated the welfare programmes adopted by the SU-Kam
Baddi (Solan) and the main criterion is to study the degree of satisfaction of
employee and the awareness about the welfare programmes.
Welfare provide the satisfaction to the employees the increase their productivity.
And training is one of the welfare activities in the press. Training refers to the act
of increasing the knowledge and skills of an employee for doing a particular job.
Training implies activities that teach employees how to perform their jobs better.
Selecting people of quality with caliber and potential is not enough in today’s
competitive world. They need to be trained and groomed to make bloom and
contribute their best. After a person is selected and appointed to the position or job
for which he was selected, the next task for the manager is to see that he adjusts
himself in the job as quickly as possible so that he may be able to perform his job
efficiently and successfully. He may be in the need of some training to sharpen his
knowledge and skills so that he may perform his job well.
Even experienced employees with a long service need to improve their
knowledge and skills so as to perform their job in a more efficient way. They also
need to update their knowledge and acquire improved skills to retain and improve
their position in the organization. They also need to be groomed and development
to meet their future responsibilities and to reach higher levels of managerial
positions. All this required consistent and continuous programmes of training and
development. It is responsibility of the personnel department to devise a
continuous and proper training and development programmes to fulfill enterprise
present goals and future needs.

Employee welfare and what are the different bodies &agencies that provide

the welfare of the employee.

Employee welfare or labour welfare is a comprehensive term including


various service benefits and facilities offered to employee by the employer.

According to Dr.Parandikar,” labour welfare work is a work for improving


the health safety and general well being and the industrial efficiency of the workers
beyond the minimum stand red lay down by labour legislation.

The employee’s welfare amenities and extended in addition to normal wages


and other economics rewards available to employees as per legal provisions.

1.2(a) Importance of welfare


The significance of welfare measure was accepted as early as 1931, when
the royal commission on lanour stated the benefits are of great importance to the
worker which he is unable to secure by himself. The scheme of labour welfare may
be regarded as a wise investment because these would bring a profitable return in
the form of greater efficiency.

The working environment in a factory adversely affects the health of


employees because of employees because of excessive heat or cold, noise, downs,
fumes, dust and lack of sanitation and pure air. Such oppressive condition creates
health problems for workers.

1.3 Purpose of the Labour Welfare

1. Enable workers to have a richer and more satisfaction life.

2. Raise the standard of living of the worker by indirectly reducing the burden
on their pocket. Welfare measures will improve the physically or
psychologically health of the workers, which in turn, will enhance their
efficiency and productivity.

3. Absorbs the shocks injected by industrialization and urbanization on


workers.

4. Promotes a sense of belonging among workers, prevention them from


resorting to unhealthy practices like absenteeism, labour turnover etc.

5. Welfare makes the service in mills more attractive to workers. it improve the
relation between employers and employees, “ it promotes a real change of
heart and a change of outlook on the part of both the employers and
employees”
6. Prevents social evils like drinking, gambling, prostitution etc, by improving
the material social and cultural condition of work. Congenial environment as
a result of welfare measure will act as a deterrent against such social evils.

1.4 Types of welfare facilities

1. Intramural activities:-

urinals, crèches, rest room, canteens, uniforms, library, medical aid,
subsidized food, shift allowance etc.

2. Extramural activities :-

federation of labour these labour organization provide the welfare facilities
to workers such as running schools libraries sports another , co- operative
stores, recreation and cultural centers, legal cells , labour journals etc.

1.6 Principals of Labour Welfare Services

1. The services should satisfy real need of the workers this means that the
manager should first determined what is the employee’s real need with the
active participation of workers. In one case a company manager who had a
bias for sports purchased all sport facilities and hired a sport purchased all
sports director without consulting workers. But when the whistle was blown
to play the ball nobody wanted to play.

2. The service should be such as can be handled by cafeteria approach due to


the difference in sex, age, marital, status number of children, type of job
and the income level of employees there are large differences in type heir
choice of a particular benefit. Hence it is suggested that a package total
value of benefits should be determines and the selection of the mix of
benefits should be left to the choice of each individual employee.

3. The employer should not assume a benevolent posture.

Chapter- 4
Summary
Conclusion and Suggestions

4.1 Summary
Welfare aim is to increase the productivity in an organization. Welfare
always has a positive impact on the relationship between management and
employees. Now a day employees are considered as valuable assets of the
organization if these assets are glossed over, it leave an adverse impact on the
growth of the organization is directly proportionate to the welfare is one of the
important elements of the organization.
The main aim of the welfare is to increase productivity, reduction in the
level of supervision, increase organizational stability and flexibility, increase job
satisfaction and moral among employees increased employee motivation, increased
efficiency in processes, resulting in financial gain, increase capacity to adopt new
technologies and methods, increased innovation in strategies and products,
Reduced employee turnover.
The primary and the most essential objective of welfare is to develop that
knowledge and those skill and attitudes, which contribute to the welfare of the
organization and the employees. Welfare aims at making the employee more
effective and productivities in their potential for higher job. To give experience to
philanthropic and paternalistic, to win over employee’s loyalty and increase their
moral to combat trade unionism and socialist ideas to build up stable labour force,
to reduce labour turnover and absenteeism to developed efficiency and
productivity among workers, to save oneself from heavy taxes on surplus to reduce
the threat of further Govt. intervention profits.
Welfare facilities are mainly divided into the two parts Intramural
activities: Which are provide within the establishment such as latrines and urinals,
crèches, rest room, canteens, uniforms, library, medical aid, subsidized food, shift
allowance etc.
Extramural activities: Which are undertaken outside the establishment such as
family planning child welfare cooperative stores, credit societies, vocational
guidance, holiday’s hones, leave travel facilities, transport to and from the place of
work etc.
Principal of labour welfare services the services should satisfy real need of
the workers this means that the manager first determines what is the employee real
need with the active participation of workers. In one case a company manager who
had a bias for sports purchased all sport facilities and hired a sport purchased all
sports director without consulting workers. But when the whistle was blown to
play the ball nobody wanted to play.
The service should be such as can be handled by cafeteria approach due to
the difference in sex, age, marital, status number of children, type of job and the
income level of employees there are large differences in type heir choice of a
particular benefit. Hence it is suggested that a package total value of benefits
should be determines and the selection of the mix of benefits should be left to the
choice of each individual employee. The employer should not assume a benevolent
posture. The cost of the services should be calculable and its financing established
On a sound basis. There should be periodic assessment or evaluation of the
service and necessary timely improvement on the basis of feedback.
For the welfare of the employees certain act were made by the govt. such as:
The Factory Act 1948, it provide the health safety and welfare facilities to the
employees. The Employee’s State Insurance Act, 1948 introduce important social
schemes. The urgency of such schemes has been more badly felt after world-war
II. Social security of such schemes has been more badly by a self balancing scheme
of social security to the workers of an industry can be provided of the two
methods. Social security measures adopted in any country or a can be said to be
dependent upon a number of factors viz., population , economic resources standard
of living , availability of technical experts and developments of industry. The
workmen’s compensation act though designed to protect and safeguard the interest
of the labour insurance act was first of such measured adopted in India to provide
for social insurance to the labourers. Many others fields of social insurance like
health and unemployment are still left untouched. The Minimum Wages Act was
passed for the welfare of laborers. This act has been enacted to secure the welfare
of the worker in a competitive market by providing for minimum limit of wages in
certain employment. The Payment Of Wages Act, 1936 Introduction- The need to
protect the wage earn by the worker had been felt from the early years of the
twentieth century, but it was as early as 1925 that a private bill called the “weekly
payment bill” was for the first time introduced in the legislative assembly. The
Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 this act was made for the protection of the female
employees in the organization. In this project an attempt is made to study the
awareness and the satisfaction level of the employees regarding the welfare
facilities, for the study technical staff taking into the consideration. Both primary
and secondary data has been used. Primarily data collected through questionnaires,
which were filled by the employees working in SBCL. Questionnaires method has
been used in order to know the employees perception about the company he/she
work for. A questionnaire was formed keeping in mind the objective of the
research.
In addition to primary data, secondary data was also collected from various
journals and websites, books, magazine. The secondary data collection enables the
research to understand the subject matter and get the whole picture of the subject
area. For analyzing the data percentage method is used it was used to draw specific
inferences from the collected data that is to fulfill the objective of finding out the
expectations of the labourers and also to find out the welfare facilities provided by
the organization to the labourers.

On the basis of the analysis of the data following conclusion are


made:

CONCLUSION:

1.1. In the SBCL various welfare facilities provided to the employees that is
medical and health facilities, social security measure and other facilities that
is given by the Industrial and Labour Laws.

1.4.Majority of the respondents are aware of all the welfare programmes. They
said they get all the medical facilities like free medicine, free medical
checkup, and accidental insurance. And all the health facilities like drinking
water, ventilation, clean work and wash rooms.
4.3 SUGGESTIONS:
As far as the employee welfare facilities are concerned SBCL has provided
workers concrete welfare facilities which are purely based on the Factory Act.
1948 and in addition to this SBCL is provides other facilities to their employees.
During my study I observed certain problems faced by the employees. According
to the best of my knowledge I tried to find out certain solution to the problems,
which I think, if implemented can lead to little more improvement in the
performance and outlook of the organization. Which are as follow?

 Organization should ensure healthy working condition as workers feel that


management takes little interest in improving the welfare facilities of the
workers

 Organization should be focusing its attention on to the overall development


of workers.

 Management should provide cool drinking water, spittoons and more clean
washrooms.

 For the safety measure there should be more number of emergency exits,
proper disposal of gases and wastes and also installation of machines with
enough moving space should be provided.
