Introduction To Employee Welfare

Employee Welfare
1. INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO EMPLOYEE WELFARE
The concept of labour welfare is flexible and elastic and differs widely with
time, religion, industry, social values and customs, degree of industrialization, the
general social economic development of people the political ideologies prevailing at a
particular time. It is also molded according to age group, sex, socio-cultural
background martial and economic status and educational level of the workers in
various industries.
"According to Balfour committee about welfare in its widest sense,
itcomprises all matters affecting the health, safety comfort and general welfare of the
workmen and includes provision for education, reaction, theft, schemes, convalescent
houses".
According to the committee on labour welfare, the welfare services should mean:
'Such services, facilities, and amenities, adequate canteens, rest and recreation
facilities, sanitary and medical facilities, arrangement of travel to and from place of
work, and for the accommodation of workers employed at a distance from their homes
and such services, amenities and facilities, including social security measures as
contribute to the condition under which workers are employed.
The encyclopedia of social science has defined labour welfare work as: "The
voluntary efforts of the employees to establish, within the existing industries system,
working, and sometimes, living and cultural conditions of employees beyond what is
required by law, the custom of the country and conditions of the market".
According Asia Regional Conference defined labour welfare as a term which
is understood to include such services, facilities and amenities as may be established
in (or) in the vicinity of undertakings to enable the persons employed in them to
perform this work in healthy, congenial surroundings and to provide them with
amenities conducive to good health and high morale.
MEANING OF EMPLOYEE WELFARE
"Welfare" means falling (or) doing well. It is comprehensive and refers to the
physical, mental, moral and emotional well being of an individual, further the term
"Welfare" is a relative concept, relative in time and space. It therefore varies from
time to time, from region to region and from country to country.

Employee Welfare
Labour welfare also defined to as betterment work for employees, relates to

taking care of the well being of workers by employees, trade unions and governmental
and non-governmental agencies. It is rather difficult to define the term labour welfare
precisely because of the relatively of the concept.
An organization is a human grouping in which work is done for the
attainment of some specific goals (or) missions. In order to attain these goals the
organization has to assimilate and co-ordinate its resources men, materials,
machinery and information are the sources available to the organization. Human
resources of the organization play a pivotal role in determining its effectiveness
because most problems that occur in organizational settings are human and social
rather than physical, technical (or) economic. Failure to reorganize this fact causes
immense loss to the enterprise. In the words of Oliver Sheldon "No industry can
be rendered efficient long as the basic fact remains unrecognized that it is
principally human. It is not a mass of machines and technical processed but a body
of men. It is not a complex of matter, but a complex of humanity. It fulfills its
function not by virtue of some impersonal forces but by human energy. If body is
not an intricate maze of mechanical devices but a magnified nervous system".
The characteristics of welfare employees are as follows:
 It is the work which is usually under taken within the premises or within
the vicinity of under takings for the benefit of their employees and the
members of their families.
 The work generally includes those items of welfare which are over and
above what is provided by statutory provisions or required by the custom of
the industries or what the employees expect as a result of a contract of
services from the employees.
 These facilities may be provided voluntarily by progressive and enlightened
entrepreneurs.
 At their own accord out of their realization of social responsibilities towards
labour or statutory provisions may compel then to these facilities available or
these may under taken by the government or trade unions they have necessary
funds,

Employee Welfare
 The purpose of providing welfare amenities is to bring about the development

of whole personality of the workers his social, psychological, economic moral,
cultural and intellectual development to make him a good member of the
family.
 "Labour welfare11 is a very board term, covering social security and such other
activities as medical aid, adult education arrangement for the transport of
labour to and from the place.
 It may be noted that not only intra-moral but also extra-moral, statutory as
well as
non-statutory activities, undertaken by any of the three agencies, the
employees, trade unions or the government - for the physical and mental development
of workers, both as compensation for wear and tear that he undergoes as a part of the
production process and also to enable him to sustain and improve upon the basic
capacity of contribution to the process of production.
Objectives of Employee Welfare
An employer may voluntarily initiate employee welfare measure in his undertaking
with the following objectives:
 To give expression to philanthropic and paternalistic feelings.
 To win over employee's loyalty and increases their morale.
 To combat trade union and socialist ideas.
 To build up stable labour force, to reduce labour turnover and absenteeism,
 To develop efficiently and productive among workers.
 To save one self from heavy taxes on image.
 To reduce the threat of further government intervention.
 To earn goodwill and enhance public image.
 To make recruitment more effective (Because these benefit add to job appeal).
Hence, today's progressive minded managers realize that welfare facilities pay
good dividends in the long run. Now the managers contribute in a large extent
towards the health and efficiency of the workers.
Importance of Employee Welfare
Industrial progress of a country depends on its committed labour force. In this
regard the importance of labour welfare was recognized as early as 1931, when the
royal commission on labour stated that the benefits, which go under this

Employee Welfare
nomenclature, are of great importance to the worker who is unable to secure himself.
Twenty years later, the planning commission realized the importance of labour
welfare. In order to be improved to a large extent the workers should at least have the
means and facilities to keep him in a state of health and efficiency.
Labour welfare is an important fact of industrial Relation, the extract
dimension, giving satisfaction to the workers in a way which a good wage cannot with
the growth of industrialization and mechanization, it has acquired added importance.
The workers both in industry and agriculture cannot copy with pace of modern life
with minimum sustenance amenities. He needs an added stimulus to keep body and
soul together. Employees 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 inability of
the enterprise.
Principles of Employee Welfare
Labour welfare is dependent on certain basic principles, which must be kept in
mind and properly followed lo achieve a successful implementation of welfare
programmes.
o Principle of adequacy of wages.
o Principle of social responsibility of industry,
o Principle of efficiency.
o Principle of re-personalization.
 Principle of totality of welfare.
 Principle of coordination of integration.
 Principle of association or democratic value.
 Principle of responsibility.
 Principle of accountability.
 Principle of timeliness.
 Principle of self-help.
Need for Employee Welfare
The need for the labour welfare arises from the very nature of the industrial
system, which is characterized by two basic factors:
1. The conditions under which work is carried on are not congenial for health,

Employee Welfare
2. When an employee joins on industry, he has to work in and entirely strange

atmosphere, which create problems of adjustment.
The working environment in a factory/mine adversely effects the workers
health because of the excessive heat or cold, noise, odours, dust and lack of sanitation
etc.
The necessity of employee welfare is felt more in our country because of its
developing economy aimed at rapid economic and social development. The need for
employee welfare was strongly felt by committee of royal commission on employee
as far back in 1931, primarily because of lack of commitment of industrial work
among factory workers and also the harsh treatment they received from the
employees. The resolution passed by the Indian National Congress for fundamental
rights and economic programme, *n 1931 emphasized that the state should safe guard
the interest of individual workers and should secure for them, by suitable legislation, a
living wage, healthy conditions of workers etc.
The planning commission also realized the necessities of labour welfare. The
workers should also be equipped with necessary technical training and a certain level
of facilities would also reduce the roof industrial and increase the workers efficiency.
Therefore proper organization and administration welfare facilities can play a vital
role in promoting better working conditions and living standard for industrial workers
and also increase their productivity.
ATMS Of Employee Welfare
The Labour welfare work aims at providing such service facilities and
amenities as would enable the worker's employed in industrial / factories to perform
their work in healthy / congenial surrounding inductive to good health and high
morale.
 It is partly humanistic for it enables the workers to enjoy a fuller and richer
life.
 It is partly economic because it improves the efficiency of the worker,
increases its availability where it is scarce and keeps him contented.
 The aim is partly civic because it develops a sense of responsibilities and
dignity among the workers and thus makes them worthy citizens of the nation.
Scope of Employee Welfare

Employee Welfare
The scope of labour or employee welfare, however, can not be limited to

facilities within or near the undertaking nor can it be so comprehensive as to embrace
the whole range of social welfare or social service.
In a world of changing ideologies, values are rapidly under growing
transformation, rigid statements about the field of labour welfare need to be revised.
Labour welfare work is increasing with changing opportunities and needs to be
revised. It is also increasing with growing knowledge and experience of techniques.
The test of a welfare activity is that it removes, directly or indirectly, and hindrance
physical and mental of the worker and restores to him the joy and peace of living the
welfare work embraces the work and his family.
“Every twenty seconds of every working minute of every hour throughout the
world, some one dies as a result of an industrial accident”. This was how the
seriousness of industrial accidents was described by the director general of the British
council, his message of good wishes to the seventh national conference on industrial
safety and health organized by the national safety council, India.
 Bhopal, December 1984:- Bhopal tragedy.
 Rourkela, December 1985:- blast furnace accident in Rourkela Steel Plant, 18
workers affected.
Thousands of employees throughout the world lose their fingers, eyes, limbs
and their lives, every day, much blood flows in the sewers of industrial establish
made. The perils inherent in industrial work has made the life of the worker very
cheap.
Safety:-
Safety in simple terms means freedom from the occurrence (or) riser of injury
or loss, industrial safety or employee’s safety refers to the protection of employees
from the dangers of industrial accidents. An accident, then, is an unplanned and
uncontrolled event in which an action or reaction of an object, a substance, a person
or a radiation results in personal injury.

Employee Welfare
Welfare:-
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 are designed to take care of the well-being of the employees-
they do not generally result in any monetary benefits to the employees alone,
Governmental and non-Governmental agencies, and trade unions too, contribute
towards employee welfare.
1.1 THEORITICAL BACK GROUND

The factories act 1948 s primarily meant to provide for the health, safety and
welfare of the workers in the factories, and to provide certain safeguards to women
and young person.
Due to enormous rise of workers employed in the factories during the later
half of the nineteenth century, the need was felt by the legislators in India to regulate
their conditions of service for their betterment. An attempt was made to regulate their
condition under the factories ACT.
Experience of the working of the act revealed a no of defects and weakness
with regard to safety and welfare of workers employed in factories. With the change
in social environment and outlook and growing conscious of the workers working in
factories covered under the provisions of the Act.
Safety:
Safety, in simple terms, means freedom from the occurrence or risk of injury
or loss. Industrial safety or employee safety refers to the protection of workers from
danger of industrial accidents. An accident, then, is an unplanned event in which ac
action or reaction of an object, a substance, a person, or a radiation results in personal
injury.
Causes of accidents:
Accidents are caused by a combination of factors. Each one of this may vary
from situation to situation .Heinrich concluded that 98% accidents were caused either
by unsafe actions, or unsafe mechanical or physical conditions or both and this could
have prevented.
 An injure occurs only as a result of an accident

Employee Welfare
 An accidents occurs only as a result of unsafe conditions or unsafe act or both.

 Unsafe conditions or unsafe acts exist only because of faults on the part of
persons.
 Faults of persons are inherited, improper psychological characteristics, lack of
knowledge or skills and improper mechanical and physical environments.
There are a variety of factors which causes of the occurrence of the chain and
accidents.
These factors may be grouped into two categories:
 Unsafe conditions
 Unsafe acts
Unsafe conditions:
Unsafe conditions are work related causes on and are the most frequent causes
of accidents. Such causes are associated with defective plants, equipments, tools,
materials, buildings and other technical factors.
Various work related factors which cause accidents to occur as follows:
 Nature of the job
 Nature of machinery and equipments
 Poor physical conditions
 Psychological climate conditions at the work place
 Work schedule
Unsafe acts:
Unsafe acts are those activities which are not taken according to the prescribed
standards or procedures. Such acts are of the following nature:
 Operating without authority
 Failure in using safety devices
 Failure to listen to warning
 Throwing material on the shop floor carelessly
 Operating machines/equipments at unsafe speed
 Making safety devices inoperative by removing , adjusting or disconnecting
them
 Unsafe equipments are using equipment unsafely
 Using unsafe procedure in loading, placing , mixing and combining
 Taking unsafe positions under suspended

Employee Welfare
Safety measures:
Prevention of the occurrence of accidents is less costly as compared to the
losses incurred due to accidents. Safety measures involve taking proactive actions to
prevent the occurrence of accidents at the work place. The major issues involved in
designing and implementation of safety measures are safety policy, safety
engineering, safety training, safety administration, and evaluation of safety
programmes.
Safety policy:
Every manufacturing organization should formulate a safety policy. In
developing safety policy, an organization has the following choices:
1. The organization must decide the level of protection, it will offer to its
employees. Some organization prefers to provide minimum possible safety
measures just to meet legal requirement either because of financial constraints
or because of policy matters.
2. The organization must decide whether it will adopt a proactive or reactive
approach in providing safety measures.
3. The organization must decide how the safety measures should be administered
and the extent to which the workers or their representatives will be involved in
the policy.
Safety engineering:
The adoption of proper engineering procedures to minimize and if possible,
eliminate work hazards is fundamental to any safety programmes. The major elements
of safety engineering are as follows:
 Ergonomics
 Materials handling equipments
 Guarding of machines
 Plant maintenance
 Safety devices
 General housekeeping

Employee Welfare
Safety training:
There are two types of objectives associated with safely training:
 To develop safety consciousness among employees and build up favorable

attitudes in them towards safety measures and precautions.
 To ensure safe work performance on the part of each employee by developing

skills in the use and operation of safety equipment.
 Safety training may be provided in the areas of dealing with hazardous

materials, methods for protecting oneself from the likely events causing
accidents, use of safety of devices, and reporting of any injury sustained.
Safety administration:
Safety administration involves those activities through which safety

programmes are made more effective. These activities include setting organization for
safety, measurement for accidents, maintaining accidents records, and safety
campaign.
Safety organization:
Safety is the responsibility of both management and workers. Management is

responsible for providing adequate safety measures and workers are responsible for
making effective use of those measures. Therefore, in the safety organization, both
management and workers should be involved. The main function of the committee is
to ensure safe working condition in the organization by formulating and implementing
safety programmes.
Welfare:
Welfare means faring or doing well. Labour welfare, also referred to as
betterment work for employees, relates to taking care of the well being of workers by
employers, trade unions, and governmental and non-governmental agencies.
Labour welfare officer is a term which must necessarily be elastic, bearing a
some what different interpretation in one country from another, according to the
different social customs, the degree of industrialization and educational level of the
workers.
The ILO at its Asian Regional Conference, defined labour welfare as a term
which understood to include such services, facilities and amenities as may established

Employee Welfare
or in the vicinity of the undertakings to enable the persons employed in them to

perform their work in healthy, congenial surroundings and to provide them, with
amenities conductive to good health and morale. Labour are has two aspects -
negative and positive. On the negative side, labour welfare is concerned with
counteracting the baneful effects of the large-scale industrial system of production.
MERITS AND DEMERITS OF WELFARE MEASURES:

Merits:
 His/her labour helps dig and haul coal from the depths of the earth - to fetch
and refine oil, to build dams and reservoirs, to lay pipes, canals, railway lines
and roads.
 The social and economic aspects of the life of worker have a direct influence
on the social and economic development of the nation.
 Welfare may help minimize social evils, such as alcoholism, gambling,

prostitution, drug addiction, and the like.
Demerits:
 His/her actions and interaction with in the industrial framework will have a
great impact and influence on industrial development.
 Welfare may not directly increase productivity, but it may add to general
feelings of satisfaction with the company and cut down labour turnover.
 His/her labour creates and transmits power, and, through various phases of
manufacturing, patterns raw materials into finished products of necessity as
well as of luxury.
TYPES OF WELFARE ACTIVITIES:
The meaning of labour welfare may be made clearer by listing the activities
and facilities which are referred to as welfare measures.
Welfare measures into two broad groups, namely:
1. Welfare measures inside in the work place; and
2. Welfare measures out side the work place.

Employee Welfare
3. Each group includes several activities.
1. Welfare Measures inside the Work Place

 Watch and ward.
 Community leadership development: council elders, committee of

representatives, administration of community services and problems; child,
youth and women's clubs.
Welfare facilities by the government:
With a view to making it mandatory of employers, facilities for their

employees, the Government of India has enacted several laws from time to time.
These laws are Factories Act, 1948, the Mines Act, 1952; the plantation Act, 1951; the
Bedi and Cigar Workers (condition employment) Act, 1966; and the contract labour
(Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970. Another significant step taken by the central
government has been to constitute welfare funds for the
Employee Welfare
benefits of the employees. These funds have been established in coal, mica,
iron-ore, lime stone, and dolomite mines. The welfare activities covered by these
funds include housing, medical, educational and recreational facilities for employees
and their dependents.
Welfare activities by the trade unions:
Labour unions have contributed their share for the betterment of the
employees. Mention may be made here of the Textile Labour Association of
Ahmedabad and the Raihvaymen's Union
and the Mazdoor sabha of kanpur, which have rendered invaluable services in
the filed of labour welfare. The welfare activities of the Textile Labour Association,
Ahmedabad, are worth nothing.
The Association runs
1. Twenty-five cultural and social centers.
2. Schools of workers children, reading rooms, libraries, gymnasia.
3. Dispensaries and maternity homes.
4. A co-operative bank, with which a number of housing societies, consumers'

societies and affiliated
5. Office offering legal help to members.
6. Training programmes in the principles and practices of trade unionism.
7. A bi-weekly, the Mazdoor Sendesh.
Welfare work by voluntary agencies:
Many voluntary social - services agencies have been doing useful labour
welfare work. Mention may be made of the Bombay Social Service League, the Seva
Sadn Society, The Maternity and Infant Welfare Association, the YMCA, the
Depressed Classes Mission Society and the Women's' Institute of Bengal, The Welfare
activities of these organization cover night schools, libraries and lectures, promo dons
of public health, and organization or recreation and sports for the working class.

INDUSTRY PROFILE
Plastic have become synonymous with modern living. It is undoubtedly a
product which has penetrated extensively in to the common man's life. No wonder the
industry has achieved in term of supply of raw material expansion and diversification
of processing capacities and manufacturing of processing machinery and equipment.
This versatile material with its superior qualities such as light weight, easy
processing ability corrosion resistance, energy conservation, no toxicity etc. many
substitute to a large extent many conventional and costly industrial materials like
wood, metal, glass, jute, leather etc., in the future.. The manifold applications of
plastics in the field of automobiles electronics, electrical, packaging and agriculture
give enough evidence of the immense utility of plastics.
At percent 80 percent of total requirement for raw material arid almost all
types of plastic machines required for the industry are indigenously available. The
percent investment in all the three segments of the industry, namely production of raw
materials, expansion and diversification of processing capacities, manufacturing of
processing machinery and ancillary equipment is Rs. 1. 2507- crores and it provides
employment to more than Eight lack people.
Plastics have been subject to levies not only at the control level but also at
state and local government levels. These levels have affect i the price of plastic
products adversely. The per capital consumption of plastic in India is very low at 0.5
kgs. (500grms.) as against the world average of I Ikgs. The per capital consumption is
68kgs. In West Germany, 53kgs. In U.S.A, 35kgs in U.K. and even in developing
country like South Korea 8.5kgs.
On account of their inherent advantages in properties and versatility in
adaptation and use, plastics have come to play a vital in a variety of applications, the

Employee Welfare
world over. In our country, plastic are used in making essential consumer goods of
daily use over. In our country, plastics are used in making essential consumer goods of
daily use for common man such as baskets, shopping bags, water bottles, school bags,
Tiffin boxed, hair combs, tooth brushes, spectacle frames and fountain pens, they also
find applications in field like packaging, automobiles, and transportation, engineering,
electronics, telecommunications, defines, medicine and building and construction
plastics are growing in importance in agriculture and water management.
The Govt. of India recognizing the importance of plastics in agriculture
appointed on March 7th, 1981 a National committee on the use of plastics in
Agriculture under the chairmanship of Dr. G.V.R Rao. This committee has forecast a
tremendous growth of drip irrigation through a net work of plastic pipes and tubes. In
its opinion large scale adoption of irrigation would lead to sports in demand for PVC
pipes L.D.P.E tubes and polypropylene emitters. The committee made a number of
recommendations for promoting the use of plastics.
The implementation of recommendations would a long a way in increasing the
consumption of plastics, which at present is very low. The committee has highlighted
the importance of the use of PVC reign in the manufacture of rigid pipes, flexible
pipes and sheeting, which are being used for agricultural operations to carry water
from place to and also living of ponds and reservoirs to reduce seepage and most
important in drip irrigation systems.
A breakthrough has already taken place in; the field of cannel lining with
polyethylene film in states of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Haryana, the
irrigation departments in the states has taken concrete steps to incorporate canal lining
with L.D.P.E films on a priority basis another variety of plastics, that requires careful

Employee Welfare
nurturing relates to the engineering plastics which after alternatives to or replacement
for metal in lode applications.
Modified P.P.O Nylons, polydactyl, polycarbonate, polyester (pet) epoxy
phenol, and melamine are some of the plastic material following under the category of
engineering plastics.
Engineering plastics are being increasingly used for various applications in
automobiles, electronics, telecommunications and other industries. The plastics are
classified into two major classes' thermoplastics. And thermo sets the thermoplastics
become sufficiently soft applications of heat. The thermostats on the initial
application of heat and pressure in the mould to flow, bur upon further application of
heat and pressure they are too hard to inert molded place which cannot be reoffered by
reheating.
L.D.P.E (Low Density Polyethylene):-
Production of LDPE in India started in 1959. at present there are three units
manufacturing LDPC with a total capacity of 1.15 lack tones. Production target for
LDPE by the end of 1989-90 is placed 1.86 lack tones.

EXPORT OF PLASTIC GOODS:-
Plastics have excellent potentialities. Our country is equipped with all kinds of
processing machineries and skilled Labor and undoubtedly, and extra effort boost
export finished plastic products will yield rich dividend.
Today India exports plastic product to as many as 80 countries all over the world. The
export, which wore stagnant at round Rs.60-70 crores per annum doubled to Rs. 129
crores in 1988-89. His plastic industry has taken up the challenge of achieving an
export target of Rs. 170 crores.
Major export markets for plastic are Australia, Bangladesh, Canada, Egypt,
France, Hong Kong, Hungry, Italy, Kuwait, Federal Republic of Germany, Srilanka,
Sweden, Taiwan, U.K., U.S.A. and U.S.S.R.

IMPORTANCE OF PIPES INDUSTRY
We shall look at the basic data about plastics and particularly those properties,
which are of use in practical working with plastics. Plastics are manmade materials.
The oldest raw materials for producing plastics are carbonaceous materials obtained
from coal tar (benzene, phenol). Today the majority of raw materials are obtained
from petrochemical sources and they can be economically produced in large
quantities.
Plastics have Changed our world and day-by-day they are becoming
important. They own their success to whole series of advantages which they have over
conventional materials such as
1) Lightweight
2) Excellent mould ability
3) Attractive colors
4) Low energy requirement for convention
5) Low Labour & cost of manufacture
6) Low maintenance
7) High Strength weight ratio
8) Corrosion resistance
9) Aesthetic without surface treatment.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The social scientists have noted that the problems of our contemporary
civilization are most marked in highly industrialized societies. Industrialization has
contributed not only to economic & scientific development but also to social &
psychological distress. But what measure do these industries undertake to relieve this
distress & work for the social welfare of mankind? This welfare approach has become
necessary because of the social problems that have emerged as a result of the
industrialization in a capitalistic setting. As against these social problems, many social
welfare amenities have been provided for the benefit of the employees in various
industrial units.
In the past thirty years. India has devoted considerable attention for rapid and
heavy industrialization concomitantly labor welfare in India has gained importance.
Organized welfare projects, established as result of agreements between
employers and employees arc supported by the state does make a valuable
contribution to the growth of labor welfare activities on a sound basis. This would
help in the solutions of the various labor problems and enhance the well being of the
various labor problems and enhance the well being of the working class, which is vital
for the development of our country's economy.
Welfare Activities for workers
a. Before Independence
In India, before impendence workers are treated as commodities and the
organizations treated them only as economic men. The managers thought that their
main duty is giving salaries to workers only. They never cared for the welfare of the
workers. In 1881, Mr. N.M. Lohande formed a trade union to face problems of the
workers. It was the first trade union in India.

Employee Welfare
b. After Independence:
Many trade unions like INTUC, AITUC/CITU etc, come into existence. They
all aimed at the welfare of the workers. In modern organization workers play a
dominant role. A separate deportment named as HRD was set up to look after the
problems of workers and to improve their living conditions. Modern workers enjoy
many welfare schemes viz, house rent allowances, medical allowances, educational
facilities for their children, safety measures like providing proper ventilation and
lighting facilities.
The meaning of labor welfare may be made clearly by listing the activities and
facilities which are referred to us welfare measures. Welfare measures are divided into
two broad groups namely.
 Welfare measures inside the work place.
 Welfare measures outside the work place.
Welfare measures inside the work place:
 Condition of work environment
 Convenience
 Workers health sen-ices
 Workers recreation
 Employment follow-up
 Economic services
 Workers education
Welfare measures outside the workplace
 Housing facilities
 Sanitation facilities
 Cooperative stores

Employee Welfare
 Consumer societies
 Transport
 Security
 Health & Medical services
INTRODUCTION TO EMPLOYEE WELFARE
The concept of labour welfare is flexible and elastic and differs widely with
time, religion, industry, social values and customs, degree of industrialization, the
general social economic development of people the political ideologies prevailing at a
particular time. It is also molded according to age group, sex, socio-cultural
background martial and economic status and educational level of the workers in
various industries.
"According to Balfour committee about welfare in its widest sense,
itcomprises all matters affecting the health, safety comfort and general welfare of the
workmen and includes provision for education, reaction, theft, schemes, convalescent
houses".
According to the committee on labour welfare, the welfare services should mean:
'Such services, facilities, and amenities, adequate canteens, rest and recreation
facilities, sanitary and medical facilities, arrangement of travel to and from place of
work, and for the accommodation of workers employed at a distance from their homes
and such services, amenities and facilities, including social security measures as
contribute to the condition under which workers are employed.
The encyclopedia of social science has defined labour welfare work as: "The
voluntary efforts of the employees to establish, within the existing industries system,
working, and sometimes, living and cultural conditions of employees beyond what is
required by law, the custom of the country and conditions of the market".

Employee Welfare
According Asia Regional Conference defined labour welfare as a term which
is understood to include such services, facilities and amenities as may be established
in (or) in the vicinity of undertakings to enable the persons employed in them to
perform this work in healthy, congenial surroundings and to provide them with
amenities conducive to good health and high morale.
MEANING OF EMPLOYEE WELFARE
"Welfare" means falling (or) doing well. It is comprehensive and refers to the
physical, mental, moral and emotional well being of an individual, further the term
"Welfare" is a relative concept, relative in time and space. It therefore varies from
time to time, from region to region and from country to country.
Labour welfare also defined to as betterment work for employees, relates to
taking care of the well being of workers by employees, trade unions and governmental
and non-governmental agencies. It is rather difficult to define the term labour welfare
precisely because of the relatively of the concept.
An organization is a human grouping in which work is done for the
attainment of some specific goals (or) missions. In order to attain these goals the
organization has to assimilate and co-ordinate its resources men, materials,
machinery and information are the sources available to the organization. Human
resources of the organization play a pivotal role in determining its effectiveness
because most problems that occur in organizational settings are human and social
rather than physical, technical (or) economic. Failure to reorganize this fact causes
immense loss to the enterprise. In the words of Oliver Sheldon "No industry can
be rendered efficient long as the basic fact remains unrecognized that it is
principally human. It is not a mass of machines and technical processed but a body
of men. It is not a complex of matter, but a complex of humanity. It fulfills its

Employee Welfare
function not by virtue of some impersonal forces but by human energy. If body is
not an intricate maze of mechanical devices but a magnified nervous system".
The characteristics of welfare employees are as follows:
 It is the work which is usually under taken within the premises or within
the vicinity of under takings for the benefit of their employees and the
members of their families.
 The work generally includes those items of welfare which are over and
above what is provided by statutory provisions or required by the custom of
the industries or what the employees expect as a result of a contract of
services from the employees.
 These facilities may be provided voluntarily by progressive and enlightened
entrepreneurs.
 At their own accord out of their realization of social responsibilities towards
labour or statutory provisions may compel then to these facilities available or
these may under taken by the government or trade unions they have necessary
funds,
 The purpose of providing welfare amenities is to bring about the development
of whole personality of the workers his social, psychological, economic moral,
cultural and intellectual development to make him a good member of the
family.
 "Labour welfare11 is a very board term, covering social security and such other
activities as medical aid, adult education arrangement for the transport of
labour to and from the place.

Employee Welfare
 It may be noted that not only intra-moral but also extra-moral, statutory as
well as
non-statutory activities, undertaken by any of the three agencies, the
employees, trade unions or the government - for the physical and mental development
of workers, both as compensation for wear and tear that he undergoes as a part of the
production process and also to enable him to sustain and improve upon the basic
capacity of contribution to the process of production.
Objectives of Employee Welfare
An employer may voluntarily initiate employee welfare measure in his undertaking
with the following objectives:
 To give expression to philanthropic and paternalistic feelings.
 To win over employee's loyalty and increases their morale.
 To combat trade union and socialist ideas.
 To build up stable labour force, to reduce labour turnover and absenteeism,
 To develop efficiently and productive among workers.
 To save one self from heavy taxes on image.
 To reduce the threat of further government intervention.
 To earn goodwill and enhance public image.
 To make recruitment more effective (Because these benefit add to job appeal).
Hence, today's progressive minded managers realize that welfare facilities pay
good dividends in the long run. Now the managers contribute in a large extent
towards the health and efficiency of the workers.
Importance of Employee Welfare
Industrial progress of a country depends on its committed labour force. In this
regard the importance of labour welfare was recognized as early as 1931, when the

Employee Welfare
royal commission on labour stated that the benefits, which go under this
nomenclature, are of great importance to the worker who is unable to secure himself.
Twenty years later, the planning commission realized the importance of labour
welfare. In order to be improved to a large extent the workers should at least have the
means and facilities to keep him in a state of health and efficiency.
Labour welfare is an important fact of industrial Relation, the extract
dimension, giving satisfaction to the workers in a way which a good wage cannot with
the growth of industrialization and mechanization, it has acquired added importance.
The workers both in industry and agriculture cannot copy with pace of modern life
with minimum sustenance amenities. He needs an added stimulus to keep body and
soul together. Employees 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 inability of
the enterprise.
Principles of Employee Welfare
Labour welfare is dependent on certain basic principles, which must be kept in
mind and properly followed lo achieve a successful implementation of welfare
programmes.
o Principle of adequacy of wages.
o Principle of social responsibility of industry,
o Principle of efficiency.
o Principle of re-personalization.
 Principle of totality of welfare.
 Principle of coordination of integration.
 Principle of association or democratic value.

Employee Welfare
 Principle of responsibility.
 Principle of accountability.
 Principle of timeliness.
 Principle of self-help.
Need for Employee Welfare
The need for the labour welfare arises from the very nature of the industrial
system, which is characterized by two basic factors:
1. The conditions under which work is carried on are not congenial for health,
2. When an employee joins on industry, he has to work in and entirely strange
atmosphere, which create problems of adjustment.
The working environment in a factory/mine adversely effects the workers
health because of the excessive heat or cold, noise, odours, dust and lack of sanitation
etc.
The necessity of employee welfare is felt more in our country because of its
developing economy aimed at rapid economic and social development. The need for
employee welfare was strongly felt by committee of royal commission on employee
as far back in 1931, primarily because of lack of commitment of industrial work
among factory workers and also the harsh treatment they received from the
employees. The resolution passed by the Indian National Congress for fundamental
rights and economic programme, *n 1931 emphasized that the state should safe guard
the interest of individual workers and should secure for them, by suitable legislation, a
living wage, healthy conditions of workers etc.
The planning commission also realized the necessities of labour welfare. The
workers should also be equipped with necessary technical training and a certain level
of facilities would also reduce the roof industrial and increase the workers efficiency.

Employee Welfare
Therefore proper organization and administration welfare facilities can play a vital
role in promoting better working conditions and living standard for industrial workers
and also increase their productivity.
ATMS Of Employee Welfare
The Labour welfare work aims at providing such service facilities and
amenities as would enable the worker's employed in industrial / factories to perform
their work in healthy / congenial surrounding inductive to good health and high
morale.
 It is partly humanistic for it enables the workers to enjoy a fuller and richer
life.
 It is partly economic because it improves the efficiency of the worker,
increases its availability where it is scarce and keeps him contented.
 The aim is partly civic because it develops a sense of responsibilities and
dignity among the workers and thus makes them worthy citizens of the nation.
Scope of Employee Welfare
The scope of labour or employee welfare, however, can not be limited to
facilities within or near the undertaking nor can it be so comprehensive as to embrace
the whole range of social welfare or social service.
In a world of changing ideologies, values are rapidly under growing
transformation, rigid statements about the field of labour welfare need to be revised.
Labour welfare work is increasing with changing opportunities and needs to be
revised. It is also increasing with growing knowledge and experience of techniques.
The test of a welfare activity is that it removes, directly or indirectly, and hindrance
physical and mental of the worker and restores to him the joy and peace of living the
welfare work embraces the work and his family.

Organization structure
Every organization has certain goals and objectives and one of the important
factors that affect these goals and objectives is the organization structure. The
efficiency with which an organization accomplishes its goals is, to a great extent
dependant on the structure it adopts.
Organization structure is the pattern of relationships among various
components or parts of the organization. This prescribes the relationships among
various activities and positions. Organization structure is the basic framework within
which the manager's decision — making takes place. Organization structure refers to
the defined relationships among the organization elements -people, tasks, structure,
information, and control process - that characterize all organizations.

Employee Welfare
The first task in designing the organization structure is the process of
Departmentation. Departmentation refers to the process of identifying all the activities
of the organization and grouping them to achieve organizational goals and objectives
and delegating the authority to a manager to supervise the division and guide the staff,
thereby, making him or her responsible for its results. Departmentation is defined as,
"the establishment of distinct area, unit or subsystem of an organization over which a
manager has authority for performance of specialized activities and results." Thus,
departmental on divides a large and complex organization into smaller and more
flexible administrative units.
Departmentation is required for the following reason:
 It helps an organization to take advantage of specialization.
 It defines the roles of each individual and helps him or her to know the part
they are to play in the total activities of the company.
 It facilitates control, coordination and communication.
 It provides the necessary platform to build the loyalty among the
organizational members.
 It helps a manager to identify and locate sources of skills, information and
competence to take certain vital managerial decisions.
Types of Departmentation
Departmentation can be done on several bases:
Departmental on by simple numbers. Departmentation by time,
Departmentation by process or equipment, Departmentation by function,
Departmentation by territory or geography, Departmentation by product, customer
Departmentation and so on,

Employee Welfare
Departmentation by Simple Numbers:
The simple — numbers method of Departmentation achieved by tolling off
persons who are to perform the same duties and putting them under the supervision or
a manager. The essential fact is not what these people do, where they work, or what
they work with; it is that the success of the undertaking depends only on the number
of people involved in it. Thus in this method a certain number of persons who are to
perform the same duties are kept in one department under the supervision of one
person. The usefulness of this form if department has been diminishing with passing
time for the following reasons.
First, technology has advanced and brought in a demand for more specialized
and diverse skills. Second, the groups comprised of special personnel are often more
efficient than those grouped on the basis of numbers. Third and the most prominent
cause for the decline is that this kind of Departmentation is useful only at the lowest
level of the organization structure.
Departmentation by Time:
This kind of Departmentation, used generally at the lower levels of the
organization, is grouping activities based on time. In some organizations that work
round the clock, Departmentation is based on time. The use of shifts is common in
such organizations due to the insufficiency of a normal workday affected by
technological, economic and other factors. The basis idea behind this form of
departmentation is to get the advantage of people specialized to work in a particular
shift.

Employee Welfare
Departmentation by Process:
In manufacturing organizations, where production is the result of different
processes or types of equipment, the activities are grouped on the basis of such
processes or equipment. In this form of Departmentation, people and material are
brought to carry out a particular operation. It permits intensive and economical usage
of costly equipment.
Departmentation by Product:
Product divisions are divisions created to concentrate on a single product or
service or at least a relatively homogeneous set of products or services. Product or
service or at least a relatively homogeneous set of products or services. Product or
eommodity Departmentation is particularly suitable to large, complex and multi
product organizations. In this form of Departmentation, the large functional units of
an organization are divided into smaller units, and each unit is grouped in terms of the
product produced and sold.
 Responsibility for profits is at the top only.
 Slow adaptation to changes in the environment.
