EMPLOYEE WELFARE
INTRODUCTION
Employee Welfare is an important facet of industrial relations, the extra
dimension, giving satisfaction to the worker in a way which evens a good wage
cannot. With the growth of industrialization and mechanization, it has acquired
added importance. The workers in industry cannot cope with the pace of modern
life with minimum sustenance amenities. He needs an added stimulus to keep
body and soul together. Employers have also realized the importance of their
role in providing these extra amenities. And yet, they are not always able to
fulfill workers demands however reasonable they might be. They are primarily
concerned with the viability of the enterprise. Employee welfare, though it has
been proved to contribute to efficiency in production, is expensive. Each
employer depending on his priorities gives varying degrees of importance to
labour welfare.
It is because the government is not sure that all employers are progressive
minded and will provide basic welfare measures that it introduces statutory
legislation from time to time to bring about some measures of uniformity in the
basic amenities available to industrial workers.
After employees have been hired, trained and remunerated, they need to
be retained and maintained to serve the organization better. Welfare facilities are
designed to take care of the wellbeing of the employees, they do not generally
result in any monetary benefit to the employees. No rare these facilities
provided by employers alone. Governmental and non-governmental agencies
and trade unions too, contribute towards employee welfare.
Employee welfare is a comprehensive term including various services,
benefits and facilities offered to employees by the employer. Through such
generous fringe benefits the employer makes the life worth living for
employees. The welfare amenities are extended in addition to normal wages and
other economic rewards available to employees as per the legal provisions.
5
Welfare measures may also be provided by the government, trade unions and
non-government agencies in addition to the employer. The basic purpose of
employee welfare is to enrich the life of the employees and keep them happy
and contended.
Employee welfare today has become a very controversial topic. It covers
a very broad field. To being with, let us briefly discuss the main concepts or,
rather, the general, meaning full ideas which have been evolved about it so far.
The term welfare suggest many ideas, meanings and connotations, such
as the state of well-belling, health, happiness, prosperity and the development of
human resources. The concept of welfare can be approached from various
angles. Welfare has been described as a total concept. It is a desirable state of
existence involving for certain components of welfare, such a health, food,
clothing, and housing, medical assistance, insurance, education, recreation. Job
security, and so on.
The word employee means any productivity activity. In a broader sense,
therefore, the phrase employee 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, or should aim, at
improving the working and living conditions of workers and their families.
The concept of employee welfare originates in the desire for a
humanitarian approach to the sufferings of the working class. Later, it becomes
a utilitarian philosophy which worked as a motivating force for labor and for
those who were interested in it.
Employee welfare has been defined in various ways, though
unfortunately no single definition has found universal acceptance.

Concept of Employee welfare
The concept of labour welfare is flexible and elastic and differs widely
with time, region, industry, social values and customs, degree of
industrialization, the general socioeconomic development of the people and the
political ideologies prevailing at a particular time . It is also molded according
to the age-groups, socio-cultural background, marital and economic status and
educational level of the workers in various industries In its broad connotation,
the term welfare refers to a state of living of an individual or group in a
desirable relationship with total environment ecological, economic, and social.
Conceptually as well as operationally, labour welfare is a part of social welfare
which, in turn, is closely linked to the concept and the role of the State which is
applicable in the plant. The concept of social welfare, in its narrow contours,
has been equated with economic welfare. As these goals are not always be
realized by individuals through their efforts alone, the government came into the
picture and gradually began to take over the responsibility for the free and full
development of human personality of its population. Labour welfare is an
extension of the term Welfare and its application to labour. During the
industrialization process, the stress on labour productivity increased; and
brought about changes in the thinking on labour welfare.
In its broad connotation, the term welfare refers to a state of living of an
individual or group in desirable relationship with total environment
ecological, economic, and social. Concept dually as well as operationally,
labour welfare is a part of social welfare which, in turn, is closely linked to the
concept and the role of the State. The concept of social welfare, in its narrow
contours, has been equated with economic welfare. Pigou defined it as that part
of general welfare which can be brought directly or indirectly into relations with
the measuring rod of money (Pigou, 1962). According to Willensky and
Labeaux, social welfare alludes to those formally organized and socially
sponsored institutions, agencies and programmes which function to maintain or
7
improve the economic conditions, health or interpersonal competence of some
parts or all of a population (Willensky and Labeaux, 1918). As these goals may
not always be realized by individuals through their efforts alone, the
government came into the picture and gradually began to take over the
responsibility for the free and full development of human personality of its
population. Labour welfare is an extension of the term Welfare and its
application to labour. During the industrialization process, the stress on labour
productivity increased; and brought about changes in the thinking on labour
welfare. An early study under the UN observed as follows in our opinion most
underdeveloped countries are in the situation that investment in people is likely
to prove as productive, in the purely material sense, as any investment in
material resources and in many cases, investment in people would lead to a
greater increase of the flow of goods and services than would follow upon any
comparable investment in material capital. The theory that welfare
expenditure, especially expenditure on health and education, is productive
investment has led to the view that workers could work more productively if
they were given a fair deal both at the work place and in the community. The
concept of labour welfare has received inspiration from the concepts of
democracy and welfare state. Democracy does not simply denote a form of
government; it is rather a way of life based on certain values such as equal
rights and privileges for all. The operation of welfare services, in actual
practice, brings to bear on it different reflections representing the broad cultural
and social conditions. In short, labour welfare is the voluntary efforts of the
employers to establish, within the existing industrial system, working and
sometimes living and cultural conditions of the employees beyond what is
required by law, the custom of the industry and the conditions of the market The
constituents of labour welfare included working hours, working conditions,
safety,
8
industrial health insurance, workmens compensation, provident funds, gratuity,
pensions, protection against indebtedness, industrial housing, restrooms,
canteens, crches, wash places, toilet facilities, lunches, cinemas, theatres,
music, reading rooms, holiday rooms, workers education, co-operative stores,
excursions, playgrounds, and scholarships and other help for education of
employees children.

The voluntary effort of the employers to establish, within the existing
industrial system, working and sometimes living and cultural conditions of the
employees beyond what is required by law, the customs of the industry and the
conditions of the market
According to Encyclopedia of social
sciences
Some of the social scientists have noted that the problems of our
contemporary civilization are most marked in highly industrialized societies. It
influences on the humans social and psychological distresss to avoid the
distress. Some of the framers introduced the welfare programmers and the
activities must be necessary to human to make him happy. This welfare
approach has become necessary because of the social problems that have
emerged as a result of industrialization in capitalistic settings. After the
abolition of slavery in 1833 the British colonies started importing Indian labor.
Labor welfare activity was largely controlled by legislation, the earliest act
being the apprentices Act of 1850, the next act was fatal accidents act of 1853,
provide compensation to the workmen families who lost their lives as a result of
any actionable wrong. And the merchant shipping act 1859 providing health,
accommodation and protection to the employment of the seamen. To improving
the working conditions of the labor they enact the workmens breach of contract
act, 1859 and the employers and workmens (disputes) act 1868. The first
Indian factories act was set up in 1881, which mark the beginning of a series of
labor laws which brought about the improvement in the working conditions of
the workers who works in the Bombay textile mills. The recommendations of
the international labor conference in 1890, held in Berlin, exercise a
considerable influence on labor legislation in India. Under pressure from labor,
the Bombay textile mill owners decided to declare Sunday a day of rest. To
make development and implement the mentioned below, the government of
India, on the advice of a special commission, passed the Indian factories act of
20
1891, which was a being advance over the act of 1891. Its main provisions
were:
1) It applied to all factories employing 50 persons or more. It could he
extended to factories employing 20 persons.
2) A mid day break of half an hour was made compulsory.
3) A weekly off day was prescribed.
4) Women were allowed to work for maximum of 11 hours with a break
of 1 hours.
5) The lower and higher age limit of children employed in factories was
respectively raised to 9 and 14. They were allowed to work only in the day
time and for not more the 7 hours a day.
6) Local governments were empowered to make rules regarding
sanitation and other amenities for workers
7) Provision was made for inspection and penalties for breach of any
provision of factory act.
At the time first world war, in1919 International Labour Organization
(ILO) was set up. In the year of 1934 the Royal Commission gave priority to the
labors safety, health and ventilation.
At the time of Second World War in 1939 the total number of workers in
India in 1,75,000 members. The government actively promoted welfare
activities like providing the minimum wages, crches, ambulance rooms,
canteens etc., started making their appearance on the industrial sense.
After independence the factories act 1947 replaced all the provisions
which are i)provisions regarding safety-guarding of machines, ii) drinking
water, iii) provisions regarding health and cleanliness, iv) washing and latrine
facilities, v) lunch rooms and rest rooms, vi) sitting arrangements vii) first aid
and dispensary facilities in all factories employing more than 500 workmen,
viii) crches where more than 50 more women are employed, ix) welfare officer
where more than 500 workmen are employed, x) provision of spittoons, xi)
21
holidays with wages at the rate of one day for every 20 days worked, xii)weekly
hours 48 for adults and 27 for younger persons, xiii) regulations regarding
young persons, xiv) rate of payment for overtime work, xv) rest for half an hour
maximum of 5 hours of work, xvi) number of hours work and xvii) weekly
holidays.
In our country also introduced some of the welfare amenities had been
provided to the industrial labor through the Indian constitution. Concomitantly
labor welfare in India has gained in importance.
Employee welfare defines as efforts to make life worth living for
workmen. These efforts have their origin either in some statute formed by the
state or in some local custom or in collective agreement or in the employers
own initiative.

relations. Mediators advice and counsel labor and management to prevent and,
when necessary, resolve disputes over labor agreements or other labor relations
issues. Arbitrators, occasionally called umpires or referees, decide disputes that
bind both labor and management to specific terms and conditions of labor
contracts. Labor relations specialists who work for unions perform many of the
same functions on behalf of the union and its members.
The service should satisfy real needs of the workers. This means that the
manager must first determine what the employees real needs are with the
active participation of workers.
The cost of the service should be calculated and its financing established
on a sound basis.

provisions of Factories Act i8n respect of safety, health and welfare of
workers.
The National Safety Council was wet up on 4th March, 1966 in Bombay
at the initiative of the Union Ministry of Labour and Rehabilitation,
Government of India, as an autonomous national body with the objective of
generating developing and sustaining an movement of safety awareness at the
national level.
The Director General of Mines Safety enforces the Mines Act, 1952. He
inspects electrical installation and machinery provided in the mines and
determines the thickness of barriers of 2 adjacent mines in order to prevent
spread of fire and danger of inundation.
3. Women workers do not make use of the crche facilities either because
they are dissuaded by the management to bring their children with them
or because they have to face transport difficulties.
1. The statutory provisions on safety are adequate for the time being
effective enforcement is the current need.
2. Every fatal accident should thoroughly be enquired into and given wide
publicity among workers.
4. Safety should become a habit with the employers and workers instead of
remaining a mere ritual as at present.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is the scientific way to solve the research
problem. This involves exploring all possible methods of solving the research
47
problem; examine the alternative methods one by one and arriving at the best
possible method considering the resources at the disposal of the researcher.
RESEARCH DESIGN
A research design is the specification of methods and procedures for
acquiring the information needed to structure or to solve problem. It is the
overall operational pattern or framework of the project that stipulated what
information to be selected, from which source , by what procedures.
DESCRIPTIVE RESEARCH
The research had been interested in knowing the proportion of people in a
given population who have behaved in a particular manner, making projections
of certain thing and determining the relationship between two or more variables
in some areas. As the set up has been a well structured and rigid which could
not be changed by giving sufficient thought in forming questions, deciding type
of data to be collected and procedure that has been used gives the proof of using
descriptive research.
In descriptive also, there has been use of cross sectional studies only
because the researcher has taken only a sample of element from the given
population.
In the cross sectional study, the survey research has been selected as a
detailed and has to be obtained from a sample of large population.
ANALYTICAL RESEARCH
The researcher by using the results of the statistical and mathematical
analysis came to a conclusion to show the scope and other needs for expanding
the market.
CONCLUSIVE RESEARCH
48
Based on the descriptive and analytical researches, the company can
arrive at a conclusion regarding their feature course of action. In this project,
descriptive research is followed.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS
After the research is selected, the data collection through questionnaire,
which is designed by covering the objectives, is defined.
Questions are both open and closed ended types. The questions in the
questionnaire are in the structured format. Direct art structured questionnaire
had been designed and used.
OPEN ENDED QUESTIONS
These types of questions are used to get complaints, actual feelings and
suggestions from customers.
CLOSED ENDED QUESTIONS
In this type, there are two kinds of questions:
-Dichotomous
-Multiple choices
-Chi Square Test
In this project, both open and closed are followed
PRIMARY DATA
The primary data do not exist already in records and publications.
Through research, had to gather the data freshly from specific survey.
The primary data can be gathered by way of observation method where
the research mix with the people concerned with use of particular product and
note important closed by observing the respondents.
The second method of collection is by way of experimentation method
where by some variables are followed to vary under controlled environment and
its cause and effect relationship is studied
SAMPLE DESIGN
49
Introduction
The precision and accuracy of the survey results are affected by the manner
to which the sample has been chosen.
a) Sample
A part of a population, which is provided by some process on other,
usually by deliberate selection with the object of investigating the
properties of the parent population set.
b) Sampling Unit
The sampling unit is the basic unit containing the elements of the
employees.
Sample Unit: Employees
c) Sample Size
The number of samples chosen from target population is 100 employees
SAMPLING METHODS
Sampling method indicates how the sampling units are selected. There
are two methods namely, probability and non- probability methods
PROBABILITY SAMPLING
Probability sampling method is that in which every item in the universe has
got chance or probability of being chosen for the sample. This implies that the
selection of sample items are independent of the person making the study that is
the sampling operation is controlled, objectively that the items will be chosen
strictly at random. In probability sampling, there are so many methods. %
Simple random sampling
Every member of the population has an equal chance of selection.
Stratified random sample
The population is divided into mutual groups and random samples are
drawn from each one cluster sample
The population is divided into mutually exclusive groups and the
researcher draws a sample of the groups to interview.
NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLING
50
Non-Probability sampling methods are those which do not provide every
item in the universe with a known chance of being included in the sample. The
selection process is at least particularly subjective. The following are some of
the methods of Non-Probability sampling:
Chi-square Test
The chi-square test is one of the simplest and most widely used non-
parametric tests in statistical work. The 2 are the Greet letter chi the chi-square
(2) test was first used by Karl Pearson in the year 1990. The quantity chi-square
describes the magnitude of the discrepancy between theory and observation. It
is defined as:
Chi-Square = (O-E)2 / E
Where O = Observed frequency
E = Expected frequency
To determine the value of chi-square, the steps required are:
1. Calculated the expected frequencies
Total no. of Respondents
E = ---------------------------------------
Different types of respondents
2. Take the difference between observed and expected frequencies and
obtain the squares of these differences i.e.,
(O-E) 2
3. Divide the values of (O-E)2 with respective expected frequency and
obtain the total i.e.,
(O-E) 2 / E
Degree of Freedom is (n-1).

company.
SUGGESTIONS
Welfare facilities like canteen and rest shelter has to be provided to the
employees as a whole.
Only half of the respondents said that a shift allowance provided by the
company is good, so that satisfy more respondents certain change should
be taken in shift allowances.
Only 60% of the respondents are satisfied with cleaning and ventilation,
so for more respondents satisfaction with cleaning and ventilation should
be more effective.
87
The working condition in the company is implemented in such a way that
it should satisfied more number of respondents.
Welfare measures regarding recreational facilities should be properly
implemented by company.
The social insurance measures provided to the respondents should be
taken necessary steps.
The satisfaction facilities must be properly implemented in the company
for more respondents comfort ability.
The company should maintain good relationship with the workers and
superiors.
The work pressure, tension and stress should not be implemented more
towards the respondents for more increase of productivity in the
company.
CONCLUSION
It is matter of great satisfaction that majority of the respondents
observe that welfare measures are good. There is always scope for improving
health and safety measures for the workers. It argues well for the company that
majority of the respondents have expressed their satisfaction with regard to
training in their area of job operations.
The pleasant surprise is that the company provides training for the
workers according to their most preferred choice. This motivates the workers in
