CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION
“Welfare is comfortable living and working conditions’’. Employee welfare means the efforts to make
life worth living for workman. Employee welfare entails everything from services, facilities and
benefits that are provided or done by an employer for the advantage or comfort of employees. Other
forms of employee welfare include housing, health insurance, stipends, transportation and provision
of food.

People are the most important asset of an organization, and the accounting profession has no
access and record the value and cost of people of an organization. Once this is accepted, the need for
measuring the value for recording it in the books of accounts arises. The value of human of human
assets can be increased substantially by making investment in their training and welfare activities in
the same way as the value of repairs/overhauling etc.
Employee welfare is a term including various services, benefits and facilities offered to
employees by the employers. The welfare measures need not be monetary but in any kind/forms. This
includes items such as allowances, housing, transportation, medical insurance and food. Employee
welfare also includes monitoring of working conditions, creation of industrial harmony through
infrastructure for health, industrial relations and insurance against disease, accident and
unemployment for the workers and their families. Welfare measures helps in maintaining the morale
and motivation of the employees high so as to retain the employees for longer periods.

The features of employee welfare:

● Employee welfare is a comprehensive term including various services, facilities, and


amenities.

● Provided to employees for their better living, welfare measures are in addition to regular
wages and other economic benefits available.

● Employee welfare is an essential part of social welfare. It involves adjustment of an


employee’s work life and family life to the community or social life.

● Welfare measures are in addition to regular wages and other economic benefits available to
workers due to legal provisions and collective bargaining.

1
The concept of labour welfare is elastic and flexible and differs widely with regions, time,
industries, country. The constituents of labour welfare included working hours, working conditions,
safety, provident funds, gratuity pensions, protection against in-debtness, rest room, canteens and
toilet facilities, lunch. Employee welfare measures to promote the physical, social psychological and
general well-being of the working populations.

A hospital in the modern sense of the sentence, is an institution for healthcare, providing
patient treatment by specialised staff and equipment, and often, but not always providing for longer-
term patient stays. So, our study is focused on the “Welfare measures of employees with special
reference to St. James hospital, Chalakudy.

Objectives

● To study the welfare facilities in St. James hospital.

● To study the satisfaction level of employees towards welfare measures.

● To study the policies implemented by the organization to improve the welfare of employees.

● To suggest measures to improve the employee welfare schemes based on the findings of the study.

Significance of the study

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

CONCEPTUAL REVIEW

The welfare means improvement of the educational, social, economic, health, political and cultural
status of the employees leading to their emancipation and development.
“According to the committee on labour welfare, welfare services should mean such services, facilities,
and amenities, adequate canteens, rest and recreation facilities, sanitary and medical facilities,
arrangements for travel to and from place of work, and for the accommodation of workers employed
at a distance from their homes”, such other services amenities and facilities, including social security
measures, as contribute to the conditions under which workers are employed.

The vey logic behind providing welfare schemes is to create efficient, healthy, loyal and satisfied
labour force for the organization. The purpose of providing such facilities is to make their work life
better and also raise their standard of living. The welfare measures motivate them to perform better
thus increasing the productivity of the organization. The important benefits of welfare measures can
be summarized as follows:

● They provide better physical and mental health to workers and thus promote a healthy work
environment.

● Facilities like housing schemes, medical benefits, educational and recreation facilities for
worker’ families helps them raise their standard of living. This makes workers to pay more attention
towards work and thus increases their productivity.

● Employers get stable labour force by providing welfare facilities. Workers take active interest
in their jobs and work with feeling of involvement and participation.

● Employee welfare measures increase the productivity of organization and promote healthy
industrial relations thereby maintaining industrial peace.

● The social evils prevalent among the labours such as substance abuse, etc. are reduced to a
greater extent by the welfare policies.

Employees play an important role in the industrial production of the country. The human resource
managers are really concerned with the management of people at work. It is necessary to secure the
cooperation of employee force in order to increase the production and to earn higher profits. The
cooperation of employee force is possible only when they are fully satisfied with their employer and
the working conditions of the job. In the past, industrialists and employers believed that their only
duty towards their employees was to pay them satisfactory wages and salaries. In course of time, with
the introduction of the concept of human resource management, psychological researchers convinced
them that workers required something more important. In addition to providing monetary benefits,
human treatment given to employees plays a very important role in seeking their cooperation.
Employee welfare activities benefit not onlythe workers but also the management in the form of
greater industrial efficiency. The terms labour welfare, employee welfare and workers welfare are
generally used interchangeably to denote various services provided by the employers to the
employees in addition to wages.

Employee welfare is a dynamic concept as new welfare measures are added to the existing ones
along with social changes. The modern concept of employee welfare entails all those activities of the
employers, which are directed towards providing the employees with certain facilities and services in
addition to wages and salaries. Welfare facilities are essential for the health of the organization since
they bear a close connection with the productivities of the labour force.

Today welfare has been generally accepted by employers. The state only intervenes to widen the area
of applicability. It is now accepted that it is a social right.
According to Royal Commission on Labour, “the term welfare as applied to industrial workers is one
which must be necessarily elastic, bearing a somewhat different interpretation in one country from
another, according to the different social customs, the degree of industrialisation and the educational
development of workers. The labour or employee welfare is a comprehensive term, which may
include any activity, which is connected with the social, moral and economic betterment of workers
provided by any agency. Such activities may differ from country to country and from region to region
or from organization to organization. Labour or employee welfare has the following objectives.

● To provide better life and health to workers.

● To make the workers happy, satisfied and efficient.

● To improve intellectual, cultural and material conditions of workers and to relieve them from
industrial fatigue.

The basic objective of labour welfare is to enable workers to live a richer and more satisfactory life.

4
Benefits to the Workers – The usefulness of welfare need not be overemphasised. The workers get a
lot of benefits in addition to the salaries. The facilities that the organization provide makes them
happy and productive.

Benefits to the Employers – The provision of welfare facilities is not only beneficial to workers but
also to employers in several ways. The welfare facilities helps in increasing the employee productivity
by improving their physical and psychological health. It helps in improving the goodwill and public
image of the enterprise.

Benefits to the Society – Labour welfare is also in the interest of larger society because the health,
efficiency and happiness of each individual represents the general well-being of all. Well-housed, well-
fed and well-looked after labour is not only an asset to the employer but also serves to raise the
standards of industry.

Statutory Welfare Facilities - Washing facilities, Drinking water facilities, Conservancy facilities, First
Aid Equipment, Rest Shelter facilities, Canteen facilities.

Non-Statutory Welfare Facilities – Medical facilities, Educational facilities,


Recreational facilities, Consumer’s Cooperative Stores and Fair Price Shops,
Cooperative Credit Societies, Family Planning.

EMPIRICAL REVIEW

S. Kumar (1993) , “A study on the Labour welfare measures in AFT Ltd Pondy”. The author concluded
the objective of the study is to find out the welfare facilities provided on the AFT and the employee’s
suggestion and opinion about welfare measures by using structure questionnaire and by concluding
personal simple random sample for a sample of 100. The study revealed the welfare measure
provided by the company was adequate except for a few systems like housing scheme and pension
scheme.

Michael (2001) in his book, “Human Resource Management and Human Relations” said that the
provision of intra-mural and extra-mural welfare facilities help in improving the quality of work life of
employee’s thereby good human relations will develop among different cadres of employees.

Parvathi and Karthikeyan (2002) According to them education plays a role as a means for human
resource development for sensitizing one’s perceptions, awareness and for motivating and changing
one’s behaviour to suit arising needs, demand and opportunities for survival, growth and

5
development. Education is the greatest force for empowerment. The process of education will not be
complete without value content. Empowerment can only be acquired through knowledge.

Mr.Ravikumar “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. Employee welfare includes
monitoring of working conditions, creation of industrial harmony through infrastructure for health,
industrial relations insurance against disease, accident and unemployment for the workers and their
families.

Aruna Goel (2004) mainly focuses the women employees in the organization. She wrote the book
“Education and Socio-Economic Perspectives of Women Development and Empowerment”. In this
book author enlighten views on the training for leadership of women employees, health and women
development, family welfare, higher education, training capacity building and awareness generation,
women participation in employment and economy, vocational and educational training programmes
for women empowerment.

Swetha Singh (2004) made the title of “Effectiveness of employee welfare’’ the study says that
identify the welfare measures and its effectiveness towards job satisfaction of employees. The term
welfare should be used broadly to include all measures which promote the physical, psychological and
general well-being of the employees. These welfare benefits play a motivational role.

Punekar, Deodhar and Sankaran (2004) in their book, “Labour welfare, Trade Unionism and
Industrial Relations’’ stated that labour welfare is anything done for the comfort and improvement,
intellectual and social-well being of the employees over and above the wages paid which is not a
necessity of the industry.

Binoy Joseph and Josephine Jodey (2009) studies in the article points out that, the structure of
welfare states rest on a social security fabric. Government, employees, trade unions have done a lot
to promote the betterment of workers conditions.

Mr. Pradeep (2009) “Employee welfare is a comprehensive term including various services, benefits
and facilities offered to employees & by the employers. Through such generous fringe benefits the
employer makes life worth living for employees”.

Tompa, Emile PhD; Dolinschi, Roman MA; de Oliveira (2009) they reviewed the occupational
health and safety intervention literature to synthesize evidence on financial merits of such
interventions. A literature search included journal databases, existing systematic reviews, and studies

6
identified by content experts. We found strong evidence that ergonomic and other musculoskeletal
injury prevention intervention in manufacturing and warehousing are worth undertaking in terms of
their financial merits. The review also provided insights into how the methodological quality of
economic evaluations in this literature could be improved.

Aswathappa (2010) in his book, ‘’ Human resource management ‘’ discussed the various types of
benefits and services provided to employees in terms of payment for time not worked, insurance
benefits, compensation benefits, pension plans etc. He also discussed the ways to administer the
benefits and services in a better way.

Arunagiri (2011) studied on employee’s perception towards the welfare measures at TTK Health
Care Ltd. The main objective is to study the existing welfare measures and to suggest suitable welfare
measures for betterment of it. Researchers used percentile method. Exploratory Research with non-
probability sampling method was used. The result of the study shows the majority of welfare
measures are satisfied through it would be better to improve in few areas like canteen services,
insurance schemes, rest rooms, giving training to workers in the field of welfare and safety measures.

K.T Srinivas (2013) made the title of “A study on employee welfare facilities and its impact on job
satisfaction”. The study says that how the company providing facilities and how it improve the
satisfaction level of the employees and also understands that what facilities company adopted to
improve the welfare of the employees. The company should provide the recreational facilities to
improve the morale of the employees and reduce the stress level of the employees. Full medical
support should be given by the company to reduce the absenteeism and turnover. The company
should conduct health campaign at least once in a month/year; finally, these facilities lead to
improving the productivity of the company.

Chahal (2013) inferred from his research work that some factors like working environment,
performance appraisal techniques, relationship with other employees etc. are contributing towards
job satisfaction in employees, while job dissatisfaction caused by working hours (lack of training &
development) of frequent transfers of the employees. He suggested that employee welfare
measures/facilities of job security should be given at most importance so that the employee turnover
may be restricted.

Dr. P Venkat Rao (2015) made the title of “Employee welfare is the key insight”, study says that no
investigate the literature related to the welfare measures and its impact on the employee
performance, satisfaction and also identify and compare the welfare measures provided by different
public and private sector companies. Employees are the key to every organizational growth. The

7
concept of welfare has reached many milestones in increasing the efficiency of the employees since
work related problems compliment the poor quality of life for employees and a decline in
performance. So, without welfare measures, employees are isolated in the companies.

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. Welfare is the facility that is provided in order to improve employee willingness to
work. This helps in raising the intention and motivation so as to retain the employees for longer
period and reduce employee turnover.

INDUSTRY AND COMPANY PROFILE

INDUSTRY AND COMPANY PROFILE

The health care industry, or medical industry is a sector that provides goods and services to treat
patients with curative, preventive, rehabilitative or palliative care. The healthcare industry is
composed of establishments devoted to prevention, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation of
medical conditions. The modern health care sector is divided into many sub-sectors and depends on
interdisciplinary teams of trained professionals to meet the health needs of individuals and
populations.

Kerala is one state where private health sector, both indigenous and western systems of medicine, has
played a crucial role. The Ayurvedic system of treatment practised in Kerala dates back to centuries. In
the field of Allopathic system, missionary hospitals have contributed profusely by even going into the
interiors of the state.

High level of education especially among women and greater health consciousness has played a key
role in the attainment of good health standards in Kerala. Today, with the mushrooming of private
hospitals that offer quality services matching international standards, and with the tie up of the
healthcare industry with the tourism sector, healthcare in Kerala is growing by leaps and bounds.

Kerala is already the major new healthcare hub in South of India, attracting international as well as
national brands to its territory. The state is now gearing up to become the hub of healthcare in all of
India.

Not only is the private healthcare system strong in Kerala, but also the public healthcare system is
equally equipped to boost the states healthcare condition. Even after facing a strong blow of the
floods that uprooted the economy of the state, it bounced back to life, only because the healthcare

system was strong enough to withstand the challenges .

Kerala is not only known for its well planned and successful healthcare infrastructures but also for the
Ayurveda spas and medical treatments.

The healthcare sector consists of businesses that provide medical services, manufacture medical
equipment or drugs, provide medical insurance or otherwise facilitate the provision of healthcare to
patients.

CONCLUSIONS
The study on welfare measures of employees helps the management to know the satisfaction level of
the employees about the welfare measures provided by the hospital. From this study we can infer
that the majority of the employees are satisfied with the welfare measures. The management is
required to provide good facilities for the employees in such way that they become more satisfied
about employees welfare facilities. They can also improve their welfare measures by introducing
several facilities like accommodation, transportation etc. Therefore , there is a necessity of making
some provision for improving the welfare facility through which employees will become happy and
performance level increases. The organization can consider all the suggestions of the study for further
policy formulation.
