INTRODUCTION TO
HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function within an organization that focuses
on recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the
organization.
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.
A large part of this growth is the Human Resources department of these companies, who
are responsible for hiring the people with the knowledge to bring new technology into a
company. To be successful in the automotive market, these companies needs a highly skilled,
flexible and committed work force, a flexible and innovative management, the ability to retain
developed talent, and a strong partnership between management and labour unions.
The backbone of any successful company is the HR department, and without a talented group of
people to hire, culture, and inform employees, the company is doomed for failure. The human
resource management is a strategic management function. Proper management of personnel’s
enhances their dignity by satisfying their social needs. Professional significance is can be done
by providing healthy working environment it promotes the teamwork in the employees.
“The total knowledge, skills, creative abilities, talents and aptitudes of an organization’s
workforce, as well as the value, attitudes and beliefs of the individuals involved.
“Leon C. Megginson”
“Human resource management is the recruitment, selection, development, utilization of and
accommodation to human resources by organizations. The human resources of an organization
consist of all individuals regardless of their role, who are engaged in any of the organizations
activities.”
“French”
INTRODUCTION TO
EMPLOYEE WELFARE MEASURES
Labour Welfare includes anything that is done for the comfort and improvement of
employees and is provided over and above the wages. Welfare helps in keeping the morale and
motivation of the employees high so as to retain the employees for longer duration. The welfare
measures need not be in monetary terms only but in any kind/forms.
Welfare programmes for workers focus a special significance in a country like India
where Poverty is quite pervasive and where a worker, by himself, is generally not in a position to
create such welfare facilities that can make his life more pleasant. When the facilities are
provided by the employer, it helps in making the workplace more congenial.
It is a well known fact that many of the problems that arise in the field of industrial relations
such as indiscipline, high employee turnover, excessive absenteeism, etc. may be caused by the
maladjustment of the workers to the work environment. Hence, the welfare activities not only
increase the comforts of the workers and improve their standard of living but also help in
boosting the employee morale, in smooth adjustment to the environment, reducing displeasure
and friction.
It is axiomatic that a stable, well integrated and better satisfied workforce will help in
speedier development and better utilization of resources. If the working and living conditions
are of the welfare measures, the workers will be malcontents and will contribute not towards
efficiency but towards problems.
Although the provision of better working and living conditions was earlier conceived on
humanitarian grounds, it was later realized that it leads to increased productivity, better
commitment to work, improved morale and industrial peace. This is the fundamental thesis that
has led to the intervention of the State through legislation on labour welfare.
To study and understand various welfare provisions provided by Brandix Apparel limited
to its employees.
To study and measure the levels of awareness and understanding w.r.t non statutory
welfare activities among the employees of Brandix Apparel Ltd.
To study and analyze the influence and impact of non statutory welfare facilities on
motivation levels and performance of employees at Brandix Apparel Ltd.
The progress of the company depends on the labor. So, labor is responsible for leading the
company successfully. At present scenario, if the labor has job satisfaction, management
neglects welfare of the labor as a pivotal role in the company process. So it is very essential to
study the labor welfare measures. Every man in the world requires basic needs. But Labor is
unable to get basic needs. Labor welfare implies the setting up of minimum desirable standard
and the provision of facilities like health, food, clothing, housing, medical assistance, education,
insurance, job security, recreation, and so on. The organization success or failure depends
basically on the labor.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
This study would give an overview of the welfare measures existing at Brandix
Apparel India limited. Since safety and welfare are two important elements essential for
improving the productivity of an organization, a study on the existing welfare measures would
help the organization perform better. This study would throw light on the perception of the
employees regarding safety and welfare. Brandix Apparel limited identifies the areas where it
can improve so as the performance of the employees can also be improved. It helps to maintain
friendly relations among employees in the organization.
LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The following are the limitations, which I have faced while carrying on the survey in regard to
welfare facilities.
Taking permissions from the concerned heads for administering the questionnaires.
The HR Manager was very busy during the survey, so the data collected for this study is
very limited.
As the company contains more number of women workers and are uneducated so it has
become difficult to explain and collect the data from them.

for Brandix Casual wear. The plant received Platinum rating in August 2008 under the
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Green Building Rating System of the
US Green Building Council (USGBC).
The rating is a third party certification programme and America's benchmark for design,
construction and operation of high performance green buildings. It encourages and hastens
global adoption of sustainable eco-friendly building and development practices. Brandix Casual
wearSeeduwa is the Group's lead manufacturing plant for Marks & Spencer.
WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production)
WRAP (Worldwide Responsible Apparel Production) is the most recognized
compliance standard in the United States for the apparel industry. It is an independent, non-profit
organization that endorses the certification of lawful, humane and ethical manufacturing of
apparel throughout the world.
SA8000 (Social Accountability)
Brandix has been accredited the SA 8000 Social Accountability standards established by
New York based Social Accountability International (SAI). The organization promotes the
global improvement of human rights for workers by collaborating with a range of organizations
including companies, trade unions and governments.
The SAI endorsement is recognized as more stringent and so, more credible, and more
consistent with ILO and UN conventions and declarations. It is a comprehensive and flexible
system providing practical and visionary solutions for ethical workplace conditions in global
supply chain management. The world's top consumer apparel companies e.g. Gap Inc. demand
adherence to exacting vendor compliance criteria. According to this global giant, Brandix
received the fastest SAI certification, with seven certificates in all, covering ethical labor, health
& safety and supplier control. Brandix understands that the compelling case for such practices
makes excellent business sense, and continues to be a leader in social accountability.
FAIR TRADE
Brandix Textiles (BTL) accomplished another national first when its plant in Makandura
received its Fair Trade certification from the Institute for Market ecology (IMO) of Switzerland.
The company is Sri Lanka's largest woven fabric processor and the award is an important
development for it and the country. Another Brandix Group company, Brandix Casual wear,
Giritale, has also received this certification while Quenby Lanka Prints is in the process of
obtaining it.
The Social and Fair Trade certification promotes the socio-economic development of
producers in the global south and to foster long-term relationships and good practices with
traders. It guarantees producers in the developing world in the entire supply chain obtain a more
equitable deal by establishing a Fair Trade Premium which funds social, economic or
environmental improvement projects.
BTL achieved a performance rating of 214, well above the minimum 172 points during
the Fair Trade Audit conducted by the IMO Social and Fair Trade Programme. The areas it
covered included respect for core labour rights, working conditions, administration of the Fair
Trade Premium and accountability as a trade partner.
The award is important for the company to progress to supplying very discerning niche
customers for whom at the retail end; the Fair Trade certified garments will be sold at a higher
price. It is also a valuable independent affirmation of the company's commitment to good social
practices.
OE100 (Organic Exchange)
The OE 100 certification from Organic Exchange (OE) is a set of industry compliance
standards for the global organic cotton textile industry. Within the Brandix Group, seven
companies have received this certificate and one, Quenby Prints Lanka, is in the process of
obtaining this important award. The Organic Exchange is a non-profit organization that promotes
the global organic cotton industry and its members include many top international retailers who
have added organic cotton products into their offerings.
The OE guidelines have been developed in response to increased consumer awareness of
production methods in the cotton industry. Globally, consumers are concerned about the organic
content of goods that they buy, such as food and apparel, and how its growth and processing can
reduce the impact on the environment and society in general. To help the cotton industry foster
comprehensive compliance in a growing market, the Organic Exchange has established these
standards, especially for fiber-only claims. With the OE certification, Brandix maximizes the
advantages it brings for suppliers include market access, with industry leaders demanding it as a
minimum for blended yarn. Although certified organic cotton can cost more to produce, top
customers are already supporting the initiative. As well as improving our marketing position, we
anticipate reduced production costs over time, as we constantly improve operational systems.
Supporting the strategic gains, the production of organic cotton annually has more than doubled
in 2006/7 from the previous year, as a direct result of the consumer industry's interest in
providing products grown or made in the most sustainable manner possible.
