PROJECT ON EMPLOYEE WELFARE MEASURES
INTRODUCTION TO HRM:
Human
resource management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses
on recruitment of management and providing direction for the people who work in
the organization line managers can also perform human resource management.
Human resource management is the
organizational function that deals with issues related to people such as
compensation, hiring, performance management, organization development, safety
wellness benefits, employee motivation, communication administration and
training.
While Miller defines it as
“those decisions and actions which concern the management of employees at all
levels in the business and which are related to the implementation of strategies
directed towards creating and sustaining competitive advantage.”
Some Basic Features of HRM:
- It is concerned with the employees both as individuals and as group in attaining goals.
- It is continuous in nature
- It is concerned with emotional, behavioral and social aspects.
Motivation is the primitive
measure that has to be done in every employee welfare activities. So every
organization is providing maximum motivation to the employee by providing
several employee benefits and welfare activities by which the employees are
feeling happy to work with in the organization.
By this welfare activity which is
providing directly or indirectly to the employee, he is able to work with
satisfaction and obedience among the higher authorities and proud to be work
within the organization. According to this attitude of employee to the
organization will be increased on behalf of the employee and they are
interested to work at a maximum strength.
The company is not only providing the
welfare activities but also helps to increase the improvement of technical
skills of the employee. That means the employee is not only working in the
company but also educating himself by the help of company’s faculty who improve
the employee’s technical skills.
People in any organization manifest
themselves, not only through individual sections but also through group
interactions, personal feelings, perceptions, desires, motives, attitudes and
values etc. so that people management is not only related to the technical
skills it needs the other human resources.
Employee welfare implies the setting
up of minimum desirable standards and the provision of facilities like health,
food, clothing, housing, education and job security etc; such facilities enable
the worker and his family to lead a good work like family and social life.
Employee welfare also operates to naturalize the harmful effects of large scale
industrializations and urbanizations.
Welfare suggests the wellbeing,
happiness, prosperity and the development of human resource labour is the work
force means the adoption of measures to promote the physical, social,
psychological and general well being of the employees.
In the broader sense labour welfare
means providing social security and other activities as medical and canteen,
recreation, housing and education arrangement for the transportation of the
labour and from the work place.
The main aim of labour welfare is to
provide welfare facilities and amenities as would enable the workers employed
in industries (or) factories to perform their work in health and high moral.
In order to find out the responses of
employees regarding the welfare activities provided to them by a sample has
been selected and tested with the help of questionnaire.
Welfare means faring or doing well.
After Employees have been hired, trained and remunerated, they need to be
retained and maintained to serve the organization better welfare facilities re
designed to take care of the well being of the employees. They do not generally
result in any monetary benefit to the employees. Nor are these facilities
provided by employers alone. Governmental and non- governmental agencies and
trade unions too, contribute towards employee welfare. The welfare facilities
together contribute to better work.
NEED
FOR THE STUDY:
To understand the extent
which the welfare activities provided by “Pearl distillery limited” towards
about the various welfare measures provided to them. To study how the welfare
facilities provided and how it helps in increasing the productivity and job
satisfaction. To learn how welfare services provided to employees it may help
organization to build up a stable work force by reducing absenteeism and labour
turnover. To offer useful suggestions for improving the effectiveness of
welfare measures.
The real need for welfare arises
from the two basic conditions generally known as the “long aim of the job” and
“social invasion of the factory”. The working environment of any job on factory
or mine or a workshop imposes some adverse affects on the workers because of
the heat, noise and smell, fumes etc., involved in the manufacturing process.
There are also occupational hazards and environmental problems inherent and
inevitable in the manufacturing process itself, which cannot be removed or
reduced. As a result productive devices and compensatory benefits have to be
provided for the welfare of the workers. This can be referred to as the “long
aim of the job

secondary data is that which have been already collected by some one or else
which have been passed through statistical data can be categorized into two
broad categories named published and unpublished statistics.
Various sources are available
namely documents, books, magazines, journals etc, and also collected from
various files, records of PDL.
LIMITATIONS
OF THE STUDY:
As the study revolves around the reward system
of the organization and in spite of keeping serious and sincere efforts there
are several limitations. There are as follows.
§
Duration of the project is
only 60 days which is not sufficient for a detail study.
§
Confidentiality matter
restricts for an in depth study.
§
Personal Bias of the
respondent and their busy schedule also was a limiting factor in the collection
of the data.
§
The perception bias or
attitude of the respondents may also act as hurdle to the study.
§
Some of the employees had
not co-operated in filling up and answering
the questionnaire
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF EMPLOYEE WELFARE
Introduction:
Employee welfare
may be viewed as a total concept, as a social concept and as a relative
concept. The total concept is desirable state of existence involving the
physical, mental, moral and emotional well-being. These four elements together
constitute the structure of welfare, on which its totally is based, the social
concept of welfare implies the welfare of man, his family and his community.
All those aspects are inter related and worked together is a three dimensional
approach. The relative concept of welfare implies that welfare is relative in
time and place. It is dynamic and flexible concept and hence its meaning and
concept differ from time to time, region to region, industry to industry and
country to country, depending upon the value system level of education social
customs and degree of industrialization and general standard of the social
economic development of the people.
Employee welfare implies the setting
of the minimum desirable standards and provisions of facilities like health,
food, housing, medical assistance, education, job security, recreation such
facilities enable the workers and his family to lead good work social life.
Employee welfare also operates to neutralize the harmful of large scale
industrialization.
Meaning
The word labour means any productive activity.
In a broader sense therefore the phrase labour welfare means the adoption of
measures to promote the physical, social, psychological and general well-being
of the working population. Welfare work in any industry aims at improving the
working and living conditions of workers.
Definitions:
The Oxford dictionary defines employee
welfare as
“Efforts
to make life worth living for workers”.
In
the words of R.Rhopkins “welfare is fundamentally an
Attitude
of the mind on the part of management activities is under taken”.
Aim of welfare:
The main aim of providing the
welfare measures is to bring the development in the personality of the worker
his social, psychological, moral, cultural and intellectual development to make
him a good worker a good citizen and a good member of the family
Need for welfare work:
The need for labour
welfare arises from very of the industrial system which is characterized by two
basic factors.
- The conditions under which work is carried on or no congenial for health.
- When a labour joins in an industry he has to work in an entirely strange atmosphere which creates problem of adjustment with one another. Call these two factors the long arm of the job and the social invasion of the factory.
The need for labour welfare was strongly felt by the royal commission on
labour as and back as in 1931, primarily because of a lack of commitment to
industrial work among factory workers and the harsh treatment they received
from their employers. This need was emphasized in free India by the
constitution, which contains the following articles in this regard “Article 41
“the state shall with in the limits of its economic capacity and development
make effective provision for security.
The right to work and right to education and
right to public assistance in the case of unemployment, old age, sickness and
disablement and in other cases of understand.
Article 42 the state shall make provision for
securing just and human conditions of work and for maternity relief.
Article -43 the state shall Endeavour to
ensure by suitable legislation (or) economic organization in any other way to
all workers agricultural, industrial (or) other From the above analysis,
satisfaction of employees towards safety equipment provided by the company wise
work a wage conditions of work ensuring a decent standard of life and full enjoyment
of leisure and social and cultural opportunities and in particular the state
shall Endeavour to promote cottage industries on an individual (or) operative
basis in rural areas.
Improvement of welfare:
It influences the sentiment of
the workers:
Welfare
activities such as educational facilities influence the sentimental atmosphere
of the factory to develop the feeling of friendship.
àSocial
advantages of welfare of workers
It improves the
workers physique and reduce incidence of eyes, mental efficiently and economic
productivity of workers.
à Realization of
workers importance
Workers realized that they have
also some take in undertaking and reduce any reckless on their part and will be
realized by the employees.
à Reduce turn over
and absenteeism
What ever improves conditions of
the work and life of employees will reduce their absenteeism and turnover from
one to another.
à It improves the
standards of living workers
Welfare activities such as medical,
canteen facilities and housing facilities improve the standard of living of
workers and their role in the economic development of our country
Merits of
welfare measures:
- The industrial worker is a soldier safeguarding the social and economic factors of the industrial economy, and his/her actions and interactions with in the industrial framework will have a great impact and influence on industrial development.
- The social and economic aspects of the life of a worker have a direct influence on the social and economic development of the nation. There is every need to take extra care of the worker – to provide both statutory and non-statutory facilities to him/her.
- Welfare facilities, besides removing dissatisfaction, help to develop loyalty in workers towards the organization.
- Welfare may help minimize social evils, such as alcoholism, gambling, prostitution, drug addiction and the like. A worker is likely to fall a victim to any of these if he/she is dissatisfied or frustrated. Welfare facilities tend to make the worker happy, cheerful and confident looking.
- Welfare may not directly increase productivity, but it may add to general feeling of satisfaction with the company and cut down labour turnover.
Approaches to labour welfare
The various
approaches to labour welfare reflect the attitudes and beliefs of the agencies
which are engaged in welfare activities. Welfare facilities may be provided on
religious, philanthropic or some other grounds. Moreover, the different
approaches to labour welfare reflect the evolution of the concept of welfare. In
bygone days, the government of the land had to compel the owner of an
industrial establishment to prove such basic amenities as canteens, rest rooms,
drinking water, good working conditions, and so forth, for their employees.
Such compulsion was necessary because the employer believed in exploiting
labour and treating it in an unfair manner. But times have changed, and the
concept of welfare, too, has undergone changes. Much progressive management
today provides welfare facilities, voluntarily and with enlightened willingness
and enthusiasm. In fact, welfare facilities are not restricted to the workers
alone. They have now been extended to the society in general. In other words,
labour welfare has been extended to include social welfare.
The approaches
are:
- The policing theory of labour welfare,
- The religion theory of labour welfare,
- The philanthropic theory of labour welfare,
- The trusteeship theory of labour welfare,
- The placating theory of labour welfare,
- The public relations theory of labour welfare,
- The functional theory of labour welfare.
1) The
policing theory of labour welfare:
This is based on the
contention that a minimum standard of welfare for laborers. Here the assumption
is that without policing that is without compulsion employers do not provide
even the minimum facilities for workers. Apparently, this theory assumes that
man is selfish and self centered and always tries to achieve his own ends even
at the cost of the welfare of others.
2) The religion theory of labour
welfare:
This
is based on the concept that man is essentially “a religious animal “, even
today many acts of man are related to religious sentiments and benefits. These
religious feelings sometimes prompt and employer to take up welfare activities
in the expectation of future emancipation either in this life or after it.
3) The
philanthropic theory of labour welfare:
this theory is based on man’s love for human kind philanthropy means “loving mankind”. Man is believed to have an instinctive urge by which he strives to remove the suffering of others and promote their well being. In fact, the labour welfare movement began in the early years of the industrial revolution with the support of philanthropists.
this theory is based on man’s love for human kind philanthropy means “loving mankind”. Man is believed to have an instinctive urge by which he strives to remove the suffering of others and promote their well being. In fact, the labour welfare movement began in the early years of the industrial revolution with the support of philanthropists.
4) The
trusteeship theory of labour welfare:
This is also called the
paternalistic theory of labour welfare according to this the industrialist or
employer holds the total industrial estate, properties, and profits accruing
from them in a trust. In other words the employer should hold the industrial
assets for himself, for the benefit of his workers, and also for society. The
man emphasis of this theory is that employers should provide funds on an
ongoing basis for the well-being of their employees.
5) The
placating theory of labour welfare:
This theory is based on the
labour groups are becoming demanding and militant and are more conscious of
their rights and privileges than ever before. Their demand for higher wages and
better standards of living cannot be ignored. According to this theory, timely
and periodical acts of labour welfare can appease the workers. They are some
kind of pacifiers, which come with a friendly gesture.
6) The public
relations theory of labour welfare:
This theory provides the basis for an atmosphere
of good will between labour and management and between management and the
public, labour welfare programmes under theory work as a sort of an
advertisement and help an organization to project its good image and build up
and promote good and healthy public relations.
7) The functional theory of labour
welfare:
This is also called the efficiency theory.
Here, welfare work is used as a means to secure, preserve and develop the
efficiency and productivity of labour, it is obvious that if an employer takes
good care of his workers, they will tend to become more efficient and will
there by step up production. This theory is a reflection of can temporary
support for labour welfare. It can work well if both the parties have an
identical aim in view, that is higher production through better welfare. In
addition this will encourage labours participation in welfare programme.
Welfare a minute is provided to the
social security to industrial worker, the common as an actor and number of
status. The prominent among them are:
- Factories Act, 1948.
- Workmen’s compensation Act, 1923.
- Maternity benefit Act, 1961.
- Employees state insurance Act, 1948.
- Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.
- Employee’s provident fund and Miscellaneous provisions Act, 1952.
- Employee state insurance Act, 1972.
- Chaild labour (prohibition& Regulation) Act, 1986.
(B)Welfare Measures
The provisions
of the factories act, 1948 lays down the conditions of work, the member of
working days, working hours, weekly holidays, periodical holidays and leave
with wages, conservancy provisions, health relating to the maintenance of a
crèches for the benefit of children of women workers, a canteen for the benefit
of workers, supply of drinking water at the work spots. The employee’s state
insurance act, 1948 ensures several social security benefits viz., sickness
benefit, medical benefit, maternity benefits, disablements benefit and
dependants benefit to all the workers who are covered by it. The payment of
bonus to the works at this share in the prosperity of the company is ensured by
the payment of Bonus Act, 1965. The provisions of retrial benefits such as
provided by the employee’s provident fund, pension and gratuities are provided
by the employees provident Fund, Act 1952 and the payment of Gratuity Act,
1972.
The various programmes of Employees
Welfare undertaken by the Pearl distillery ltd., examined fewer than two
categories:
(1) Statutory Welfare amenities and
(2) Non-statutory Welfare Amenities.
Statutory
welfare:
It deals with
different items of statutory welfare is a detailed perspective such as the
meaning and importance, the extent to which such programme is implemented, its
impact on the labour force, the additions if any contemplations of the managements,
and desirable improvements in respect of each such amenity namely :
(a) Medical benefits.
(b) Occupational Health Services.
(c) Drinking water facilities
(d) Gratuity.
(e) Travelling facilities
(a) Medical
benefits:
The Health of the Industrial Employee is
of cardinal importance not only to him but also is relation to general
industrial development. Industrial concern usually provide their own medical
facilities as they observed the sickness and ill-health are the most wide spread
causes of absenteeism, low moral standards, bad time – keeping and bad employee
– employer relations. Health care for workers helps to reduce the incidence of
sickness and therefore, absenteeism among them and to increase productivity.
However, the standard of medical care offered varies from industry to Industry,
region to region and from factory to factory in the same locality.
The importance of industrial health
services is grater in India because of the incidence of tropical diseases,
unhealthy work environment and bad conditions of work considerable attention
has been paid to the provision of medical facilities. The factories Act, 1948
and the constitution of several welfare funds aim at ensuring medical and
Health amenities to the workers in Industries.
The facilities
in the “Pearl distillery ltd.,” present are enquired:
à
Medi- cline insurance for employees.
àAmbulance
for medical care round – the – clock.
à
First aid applications.
(b)
Occupational Health Services:
These services are essentially
preventive in nature and aim at protecting the workers against the health
hazards arising out of the nature of their work and work environment. They
consist of periodical checks of certain categories of workers and prevent the
outbreak of serious health complaints. The Factories Act, 1948 referred to
dangerous occupations and empowered the state governments to make rules in
respect of factories in which may manufacturing process exposes persons to a
serious risk bodily injury, provisions or diseases.
The facilities
in the “Pearl Distillery ltd”. Has provided to the employees are:
à Safety shoes.
à Personal protective equipment like hard hats,
earmuffs and earplugs, safety goggles, dust marks, hand gloves.
à Occupational health center.
à Pain coats and gum boots.
(c) Drinking
water:
Drinking water is another primary
need of the human beings very often it becomes necessary to quench the thirst
of the workers while at work. The Factories Act, 1948 sec-19 makes it
obligatory on the part of every employer to provide for cool, clean and
wholesome drinking water to the workers at different work spots in the factory.
While the taps are installed various spots in all is existing plant, having a
sources of mineral water to all personal working in site.
(d) Gratuity:
Gratuity has come to be recognized
as retrial benefit. It forms objects in view namely (1) that a man who has
served his master through the active years of his life, should have some thing
to fall back upon, when physical disability on account of old age overtakes
him, so that he is not regarded destitute for want of manual or physical
capacity to work, and (2) the he remains not a destitute but a useful member of
the society two can stand on his own.
Initially gratuity was treated as
gratuitous payment and was voluntary in character. In course of time, it was secured by the
process of collective bargaining or by awarders of industrial reburials and
become the subject matter of industrial disputes ultimately the payment of
gratuity Act, 1972 was enacted.
The “Pearl
distillery Ltd.,’ has presented for the employees is Personal Accident Policy.
(Under this policy: management has spending the 5 lakhs for the employee’s who
are permitted; contract employees are also having these facilities but they
many spend 3 lakhs for the employees.)
(e) Traveling
facilities:
Management has provided to the
Transportation form the housing colony to plant site. These facilities are:
à
Transportation of employees to and for housing Colony & Plant site by
Air-conditioned vehicles.
à
Air - Conditioned travel to place / three stand hotels stay.
(f) Other
benefits:
The “Pearl
distillery Ltd.,” has provided welfare measures to the employees; they are:
àAir – condition at work
place.
àLight refreshments and
beverages.
àFood and snacks for
overstaying staff.
àUniform for employees.

àFully computerized
working environment.
àLibrary.
àNewspapers and
magazines.
àElectrical powers for
all personal during summer.
àCrash helmets for two-wheeling
riders.
àFree Internet for
senior managers at office.
Non-statutory
amenities:
While the
employers fulfill the statutory employees welfare provisions as a matter of
legal obligation, certain philanthropic and progressive minded employees have
accepted the wider social responsibilities towards their employers. They stand
are conceding a share of the prosperity of the establishment to the workers by
providing voluntarily such amenities as housing, education, transport,
recreation, co-operative stores etc., so that the benefit reaches the worker as
well as his family. Thus the welfare and well being of the worker and his
family has become as much the concern of the employees as that of the employee
himself.
This chapter, proposes to cover the
study of such other welfare programmes, implemented over and above the
statutory requirements in all the three units, from the points of relevance of
each such programme, the fulfillment of its objectives, its evaluation form the
workers side, future plans is any proposed by the managements and the
suggestions for further improvements. The study relates to (A) Housing, (B)
Education, (C) Transport, (D) Recreation, (E) Leave Travel and (F) Uniforms.
(A) Housing
Facilities:
Housing, as
rightly pointed out by the committee on labour welfare, being a basic human
necessity needs a very high priority in any scheme of National Planning and
Industrial Development. It has been a social problem affecting all sections of
populations in some measures of other, particularly in the developing countries
like India. The provision of housing has a direct bearing on the health and
efficiency of the factory workers. In fact, a solution for the health and
efficiency of the industrial workers lay in providing cheap, health and
adequate accommodation to them. It may be mentioned here that healthy
accommodation includes adequate space, ventilation, light, lavatories,
drainages and other sanitary arrangements. But as against this, adequacy and
poor quality of housing has become the bane of urban industrial life. “In every
industrial country the problems associated with the housing of the working
clauses have increased as industry has developed and India has been no
exception to that rule”.
The need of formulate and execute
necessary housing programmes for industrial workers was expressed in eloquent
terms by International Labour Organization,
Royal Commission on Labour in India
and also by some provincial labour enquiry committees. The Labour Investigation
Committee, having reviewed the housing conditions in various urban areas in
India came to the conduction that industrial housing in general was for from
the factory. The committee felt that “a clear long term housing policy was
essential for improving housing conditions of the industrial workers”.
The problem of housing in a developing
country like India has a special significance in view of the increased tempo of
industrialization greater urbanization and influx of rural population in cities
in recent years. Several schemes were introduced to promote housing
construction for industrial works of these; the subsidized housing scheme for
industrial workers and economically weaker sections of the community,
introduced in the year 1952 is revised in the year 1960.
A subsidy of 12 ½ per cent up to a
maximum of Rs. 200 per house is allowed by the government of India to the state
governments in conditions that the state governments also contribute an amount.
A part from the progress made under
the different housing schemes the employers are also providing housing
facilities to their workers of their own accord. Further the role of the
co-operative societies in providing houses to their number – workers has helped
is a significant way by effecting economy is the cost of housing constructing
and imbibing a spirit of self help and mutual co-operation. The state housing
boards have been constituted to implement various social housing schemes.
However, the chief problem that stands as an obstacle in the way of under
taking housing construction on a massive scale is the problem of financial
resources.
Housing
accommodation provided has been management of the PDL, enquired into two stared
buildings, and there is two and three bed rooms provided. It was allotted with
the hierarchical steps. This has been provided the management of the plant.
Housing accommodation provided by
the company is:
àRent free accommodation
for employees.
àMineral water provided
for clinking.
àPlaster of Paris false
ceiling for all 2nd floor houses.
àAir – conditions and
furnishing for senior managers at housing colony.
(B) Education Facilities:
Education promotes facilities of rezoning and
thinking in person literacy enhances general awareness among individuals,
driving away innocence and ignorance. It also helps them to industrial and
copes with the general economic and social environment. In juxtaposition,
training increases the knowledge and skill of an individual in doing a
particular job.
The place of economic and social
program of a particular country largely depends upon the quality of work force
education players an important in motivating and enabling the working
population for accelerated progress and for their mental and physical
development. Company has provided the provisions are air- conditioned vehicle
for school going children in city.
The educational needs in industry
are two fold: adult/ workers education schemes for workers and schools and
colleges for their children. While adult education centers will enable the
workers to be literate and three by acquire at least minimum knowledge to lead
an orderly and civilized life and also gain some awareness and untreatably of
his role via-a-vise the organization, facilities for education of the children
to the workers should be provided so that it helps them to obtain better
employment opportunities and there by they have an opportunity to improve their
economic position over a period.
(C)
Transportation Facilities:
The provision of
adequate and cheap transport facilities to industrial workers residing at long
distance from the place of their work is essential as such facilities relieve
the workers form strain and anxiety provide relief and relaxation and reduce
the absenteeism on account of late arrival. The International Labour Conference
emphasized that “by means of a well conceived transport system and by affording
special facilities in regard to farm and time – tables. Workers should be
enabling to reduce to the minimum the time spent in travelling between their
homes and their work”.
The importance of the transport
facilities in a developing country like India hardly needs any emphasis in view
of general factory such as the remoteness of industrial areas from the main
centers of working population, growing urbanization and growing tempo of
industrialization coupled with dispersal of industries. Transportation is
particularly necessary to those workers who in shift and leave for have at odd
hours when a public transport facility are not available.
Of course in the case of the power
plant 90 percent of the transportation has available for the employees with
Air-conditions management has to be provided the Transport to meet any
emergency.
(D) Recreation:
Recreation is
one of the items of welfare, which relaxes and refreshers the mental and
physical facilities of an employee after going through the strings and stresses
of a busy work should in the plant. As appropriately described by the malavya
committee, “no social institutions devised by human ingenuity for satisfaction
of main fundamental urges of self expression, recognition and new experience
has served its origination and new experience has served its originator so truly
and so well as recreation”.
Recreation is generally regarding to
be the opposite to work. In the case of a very few exceptional individuals who
find their work so absorbing and satisfying, work itself may be the recreation.
But to millions of those who indulge in performing routine mechanical jobs is
factories and workshops, recreation is leisure time activity by which monetary
and drudgery is lessened.
An
enquiry into the recreational facilities provided by the PEARL Distillery Ltd.,
shows that these facilities are:
- Children’s park.
- Table Tennis for the Employees at their housing colony.
- Shuttle Court, Volley ball court.
- Cricket pitch.
- Screening of movies for children and adults
Get together arranged in housing colony with employees and family members
with entertainment and food arrangement the expenses of which are borne by the
company.
Uniforms:
The dress
apparel is as important as a tool to a worker in a company. It provides the
means by which he performance his job effectively with case. In fact a
particular type of dress or the uniform goes to identity a person in that dress
with a particular specified job.
The information furnished by the PEARL
distillery Ltd., in this regards shows that supplied in all the units to the
employees in the sections, to executions and non-executions. A pair of
gumboots, safety shoes, protective equipment like hard hats, earmuffs and
earplugs, safety goggles, dust marks, hand gloves, rain coats wash helmets for
two wheeler riders are also provided.
Over
all under mining of the statutory provisions and lack spontaneous relations on
the imperative need of employee welfare measures both by the employees and
employers. The fulfillment of the statutory requirements in case of employers
was carried out on a regular basis 50 for as these requirements relate to the
contribution of amounts to the statutory funds, like personal accident policy
and payment of gratuity and bounces.
