CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Theoretical Background Welfare provides the satisfaction to the employee that increases their productivity. This is the responsibility of the organization to provide the benefits to the employees. If employees are satisfied, it increases the productivity of the employees and also provides the growth to the organization. Now a day employees are considered as a valuable assets of the organization if these assets are glossed over, it leaves an adverse impact on the growth of the organization. Growth and development of the organization is directly proportionate to the welfare of the

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

development. It is responsibility of the personnel department to devise a continuous and proper training and development programmes to fulfill enterprise present goals and future needs.

services should satisfy real need of the workers this means that the

manager should first determined what is the employees real need with the active participation of workers.

But when the whistle was blown to play the ball nobody wanted to play. 2. The service should be such as can be handled by cafeteria approach due to the difference in sex, age, marital, status number of children, type of job and the income level of employees there are large differences in type heir choice of a particular benefit. Hence it is suggested that a package total value of benefits should be determines and the selection of the mix of benefits should be left to the choice of each individual employee. 3. The employer should not assume a benevolent posture. 4. The cost of the services should be calculable and its financing established on a sound basis. 5.

Chapter- 4 Summary

Conclusion and Suggestions

4.1 Summary
Welfare aim is to increase the productivity in an organization. Welfare always has a positive impact on the relationship between management and employees. Now a day employees are considered as valuable assets of the organization if these assets are glossed over, it leave an adverse impact on the growth of the organization is directly proportionate to the welfare is one of the important elements of the organization. The main aim of the welfare is to increase productivity, reduction in the level of supervision, increase organizational stability and flexibility, increase job satisfaction and moral among employees increased employee motivation, increased efficiency in processes, resulting in financial gain, increase capacity to adopt new technologies and methods, increased innovation in strategies and products, Reduced employee turnover. The primary and the most essential objective of welfare is to develop that knowledge and those skill and attitudes, which contribute to the welfare of the organization and the employees. Welfare aims at making the employee more effective and productivities in their potential for higher job. To give experience to philanthropic and paternalistic, to win over employees loyalty and increase their moral to combat trade unionism and socialist ideas to build up stable labour force, to reduce labour turnover and absenteeism to developed efficiency and productivity among workers, to save oneself from heavy taxes on surplus to reduce the threat of further Govt. intervention profits.

Welfare facilities are mainly divided into the two parts Intramural activities: Which are provide within the establishment such as latrines and urinals, crches, rest room, canteens, uniforms, library, medical aid, subsidized food, shift allowance etc. Extramural activities: Which are undertaken outside the establishment such as family planning child welfare cooperative stores, credit societies, vocational guidance, holidays hones, leave travel facilities, transport to and from the place of work etc. Principal of labour welfare services the services should satisfy real need of the workers this means that the manager first determines what is the employee real need with the active participation of workers. In one case a company manager who had a bias for sports purchased all sport facilities and hired a sport purchased all sports director without consulting workers. But when the whistle was blown to play the ball nobody wanted to play. The service should be such as can be handled by cafeteria approach due to the difference in sex, age, marital, status number of children, type of job and the income level of employees there are large differences in type heir choice of a particular benefit. Hence it is suggested that a package total value of benefits should be determines and the selection of the mix of benefits should be left to the choice of each individual employee. The employer should not assume a benevolent posture. The cost of the services should be calculable and its financing established On a sound basis. There should be periodic assessment or evaluation of the service and necessary timely improvement on the basis of feedback. For the welfare of the employees certain act were made by the govt. such as: The Factory Act 1948, it provide the health safety and welfare facilities to the employees. The Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 introduce important social schemes. The urgency of such schemes has been more badly felt after world-war

II. Social security of such schemes has been more badly by a self balancing scheme of social security to the workers of an industry can be provided of the two methods. Social security measures adopted in any country or a can be said to be dependent upon a number of factors viz., population , economic resources standard of living , availability of technical experts and developments of industry. The workmens compensation act though designed to protect and safeguard the interest of the labour insurance act was first of such measured adopted in India to provide for social insurance to the labourers. Many others fields of social insurance like health and unemployment are still left untouched. The Minimum Wages Act was passed for the welfare of laborers. This act has been enacted to secure the welfare of the worker in a competitive market by providing for minimum limit of wages in certain employment. The Payment Of Wages Act, 1936 Introduction- The need to protect the wage earn by the worker had been felt from the early years of the twentieth century, but it was as early as 1925 that a private bill called the weekly payment bill was for the first time introduced in the legislative assembly. The Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 this act was made for the protection of the female employees in the organization. In this project an attempt is made to study the awareness and the satisfaction level of the employees regarding the welfare facilities, for the study technical staff taking into the consideration. Both primary and secondary data has been used. Primarily data collected through questionnaires, which were filled by the employees working in SBCL. Questionnaires method has been used in order to know the employees perception about the company he/she work for. A questionnaire was formed keeping in mind the objective of the research. In addition to primary data, secondary data was also collected from various journals and websites, books, magazine. The secondary data collection enables the research to understand the subject matter and get the whole picture of the subject

area. For analyzing the data percentage method is used it was used to draw specific inferences from the collected data that is to fulfill the objective of finding out the expectations of the labourers and also to find out the welfare facilities provided by the organization to the labourers.

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

CONCLUSION:

1.1. In

the SBCL various welfare facilities provided to the employees that is

medical and health facilities, social security measure and other facilities that is given by the Industrial and Labour Laws. 1.2.As concern for the satisfaction level majority of the respondent shows the high level of satisfaction regarding all the welfare facilities. 1.3.Majority of the respondents said that they are satisfied with the medical and health facilities. And they are also satisfied with the safety measures and social security measures. . 1.4.Majority of the respondents are aware of all the welfare programmes. They said they get all the medical facilities like free medicine, free medical checkup, and accidental insurance. And all the health facilities like drinking water, ventilation, clean work and wash rooms.

4.3 SUGGESTIONS:
As far as the employee welfare facilities are concerned SBCL has provided workers concrete welfare facilities which are purely based on the Factory Act. 1948 and in addition to this SBCL is provides other facilities to their employees. During my study I observed certain problems faced by the employees. According to the best of my knowledge I tried to find out certain solution to the problems, which I think, if implemented can lead to little more improvement in the performance and outlook of the organization. Which are as follow? Organization should ensure healthy working condition as workers feel that management takes little interest in improving the welfare facilities of the workers

Organization should be focusing its attention on to the overall development of workers.

Management should provide cool drinking water, spittoons and more clean washrooms. For the safety measure there should be more number of emergency exits, proper disposal of gases and wastes and also installation of machines with enough moving space should be provided.
