INTRODUCTION
EMPLOYEE WELFARE
When an employee is well-taken care of, both intellectually and financially, the term "well-being" is used to
refer to the sum total of these factors. "Efforts to make the lives of employees worthwhile" is its most basic
definition. Employees are given access to a broad variety of services, perks, and facilities. Alternatively, the
government or trade unions may take on this responsibility if the requisite money are available; this is a
matter for the company owners themselves to decide.
NEED AND IMPORTANCE
The importance of a company's employees' health and happiness is rising throughout the civilised globe. A
nation's degree of industrialization, social structure, and overall socioeconomic development all influence
what it means to be prosperous. As a result, the concept of prosperity may take on various connotations
between countries and time periods within the same country.
Some define employee welfare, also known as labor welfare, as a "mental state," while others list only the
programs and policies that fall under worker welfare. Some focus on the voluntary nature of the procedures
and companies include them beyond what is required by law. Some believe that only legally required
actions for employment or employee welfare programs qualify.
THE BASIC FEATURES OF EMPLOYEES’ OR LABOUR WELFARE
The health, productivity, economic progress and social status of the workers are enhanced by the many
amenities, services and facilities provided to them. In addition to regular wages and other financial benefits,
employees have access to welfare programs resulting from legal restrictions and collective bargaining.
Workplace wellness programs are adaptive and constantly evolving. Sometimes, additional care measures
are offered to those who already have them. Employers, government, workers or any social or voluntary
organization can implement welfare measures.
EMPLOYEE WELFARE OBJECTIVES

To create a satisfied and loyal workforce in the organization.
To make the workers comfortable and happy.

EMPLOYEE WELFARE CAN BE DIVIDED INTO TWO CATEGORIES,
NAMELY:
Statutory and Voluntary
Statutory: To set minimum requirements for the safety and welfare of workers at their workplaces, the
government has enacted several laws. Care facilities like washing, storage, first aid supplies, working hours,
sanitation etc. are planned.
Voluntary: Employers voluntarily provided welfare facilities to the workers in addition to the allotted
facilities. Their concern focuses more on the welfare of their workers. Godrej and L&T, for example,
provide its workers a variety of transportation options. Facilities for sports and activities, free or reduced-
cost meals, children's education, and relaxation are available at many institutions. Organizations provide the
opportunity to work flexible hours. It makes it easier for a person to meet his personal demands while
fulfilling his professional obligations. Employers also offer medical claims insurance to cover
hospitalization expenses for illness, accidents and other conditions. The purpose of Harassment Regulations
is to protect workers from all forms of harassment.
The facilities for the welfare of volunteers can be divided into those provided on premises and outside.
Facilities for luxury and comfort inside the factory.
Outside the territory of the plant there are comforts and luxury.
The luxurious amenities and facilities of the factory include rest rooms and bathrooms,
Bathing and cleaning
Nurseries
Canteens and rest areas,
Water supply,
Arrangements to prevent fatigue,
Administrative set-up within the facility dealing with welfare,

2017.Workers are more likely to be committed to their employer when they have access to various welfare
amenities, according to this article's author. The study's goal was to look at the health of workers. Employee
commitment and measurement are intertwined concepts. Jyoti Laboratories performed the investigation
using a sample of 76 participants (84.2 percent male and 15.8 percent female). The data for this exploratory
study was gathered using both primary and secondary sources. Providing employees with health insurance,
hygienic bathrooms and transportation, rest and lunch room facilities, death compensation and recreational
facilities is a good way to encourage employee compliance, according to a research. But other
characteristics and causes had the opposite impact, according to the author's findings. The researcher said
that various welfare measures undoubtedly increase employee engagement and help in achieving the
organization's mission. In this case, the company should take appropriate measures on the welfare policy of
the workers which promotes negative attitude among the workers.

Interpretation:
According to the study, the majority of respondents are aware of the welfare initiatives offered by the
NWKRTC, and only a small number are not particularly knowledgeable about these initiatives. For the
benefit of its workers, NWKRTC has put in place a number of welfare initiatives. But the employees are not
much aware of those benefits because lack of welfare awareness programs and the busy schedule of the
employees. It is emphasized that creating awareness of the welfare schemes for NWKRTC employees
should be done in very effective way, like videos of welfare schemes should be broadcasted on the smart
phones of the NWKRTC employees and Mobile number of the NWKRTC employees. It should be captured
so as to use it as effective medium to inform the workers in respect of welfare schemes, and there are many
ways to make employees aware of various welfare schemes like, the walls of the government buildings
should be used for paintings awareness messages in rural and urbun areas it will be more effective. Hence
the organization has to conduct a various welfare awareness programs for their employees. And the
organization needs to improve the employee communication channel to make them aware of various welfare
facilities which are provided by the organization.

organization will not conduct any kind of awareness program because the management is not serious about
employee awareness programs and lack of welfare awareness programs so the organization need to
concentrate on this and management need to plan for welfare awareness programs for the NWKRTC
employees. It will beneficial for both the organization as well as employees. It improves the reputation of
the business and boosts the employee morale.

management that information will be very transparent. This is the only sources from which employees can
know about the welfare policies so the majority of the employees get the information from the top
management. And the organization needs to improve the employee communication channels to

annual health check-up program to all employees. Additionally, it provides medical advance reimbursement
facility for critical illnesses affecting the employee personally and their families. Additionally, it provides
an added benefit to NWKRTC workers by encouraging hospitals to provide high-quality medical care to
employees and their families. It has approved the work of more than 108 reputed private hospitals and 7
diagnostic institutes. Most employees were reluctant to speak up when they strongly disagreed with the

health care costs.

employee is working in a positive work environment they may feel more productive and motivated to
produce high quality work consistently.

of the workers have expressed concern about the canteens of the organization and some even claim that
there is no canteen. These concerns are understandable since food and beverages directly affect employees'
moods. No one can work. Everyone benefits when an organization provides neat and appropriate cafeteria

aware of various welfare schemes like, the walls of the government buildings should be used for paintings
awareness messages in rural and urban areas it will be more effective. Hence the organization has to
conduct a various welfare awareness programs for their employees. And the organization needs to
improve the employee communication channel to make them aware of various welfare facilities which are
provided by the organization.
The variety and quality of food in the canteen can be improved through management. In addition,
they prepare cold, filtered water.

employees at the time of recruitment. Conductors and drivers must also have this training. Additionally,
management upgrades training program resources by defining specific training needs for each individual.

requirements of the largest number of workers, including developing infrastructure and facilities for
relaxation techniques.

objectives. Employee well-being is one of the main tools for achieving company goals. Therefore, the
organization should provide all the facilities that benefit the employee. The company will benefit from this
analysis and many internal wellbeing and safety programs will improve. The company's welfare and safety
measures may be improved by careful consideration of specific policies and procedures by the management.
It seems that employee welfare measures have a significant role in the company's success. Employee
Welfare Measures prove to be an important factor when compared to the other factors in the organization.
When these measures are not provided to the fullest extent the workers self interest and motivation
decreases and their dedication to the work may declines. Therefore the welfare measures create a sense of
belongingness and act as a morale booster which not only lead to higher productivity but also makes the
employees most satisfied.
