3) Needed Welfare Measures

To promote a higher type of citizenship, to insure to every child born in Kansas a record of birth, an equal share in the paternal care of the government and recognition of its potential worth as a future citizen, I recommend the establishment of a division of child hygiene as a part of the State Board of Health. This new division should take into account the circularizing of the expectant mother who applies for information, the care of the new-born babe, and the well-being, health and nurture of the growing child.

In the same general line of public welfare, I recommend the enactment of laws on the following subjects:

1. To assist needy and worthy mothers by a compensation which shall enable them to care for dependent minor children at home instead of their being cared for in institutions.

2. To designate certain existing officials to comprise and act as an industrial welfare committee, with power to establish and enforce wage schedules and to regulate the hours of women and minors in industry.

3. To provide for the paying of convicts' earnings to their department families, after a sufficient sum is deducted for the convict's maintenance.

5. To help solve the problem of the unemployed by extending the activities of the free employment bureau.

6. To strengthen the workmen's compensation act for the better protection of the workers.

7. To promote the safety and safeguard the interests of railroad men and the traveling public.

8. To compel employers to report promptly to the labor department all accidents occurring in factories or mines.

9. To make child desertion by either father or mother a crime.

10. To broaden the $200 tax exemption law by removing the discrimination against certain classes of women.

11. To authorize cities of the first and second class to establish public loan institutions, that the loan shark evil may be abated.

The meaning of labour welfare may be made more clear more by listing the activities which are referred to as welfare measures.

THEORIES OF LABOUR WELFARE

The form of labor welfare activities is flexible, elastic and differs from time to time, region to region, industry to industry and country to country depending upon the value system, level of education, social customs, degree of industrialization and general standard of the socio economic development of the nation. Seven theories constituting the conceptual frame work of labour welfare activities are the following:

1. The Police Theory: This is based on the contention that a minimum standard of welfare is necessary for labourers. Here the assumption is that without policing, that is, without compulsion, employers do not provide even the minimum facilities for workers. Apparently, this theory assumes that man is selfish and self centered and always tries to achieve his own ends, even at the cost of the welfare of others. According to this theory, owners and managers of industrial undertakings get many opportunities for exploitation of labour. Hence, the state has to intervene to provide minimum standard of welfare to the working class.

2. The Religious Theory: This is based on the concept that man is essentially "a religious animal." Even today, many acts of man are related to religious sentiments and beliefs. These religious feelings sometimes prompt an employer to take up welfare activities in the expectation of future emancipation either in this life or after it.

3. The Philanthropic Theory: This theory is based on man's love for mankind. Philanthropy means "Loving mankind." Man is believed to have an instinctive urge by which he strives to remove the suffering of others and promote their well-being. In fact, the labour welfare movement began in the early years of the industrial revolution with the support of philanthropists.

4. The Trusteeship Theory: This is also called the Paternalistic Theory of Labour Welfare. According to this the industrialist or employer holds the total industrial estate, properties, and profits accruing from them in a trust. In other words, the employer should hold the industrial assets for himself, for the benefit of his workers, and also for society. The main emphasis of this theory is that employers should provide funds on an ongoing basis for the well-being of their employees.

5. The Placating Theory: This theory is based on the fact that the labour groups are becoming demanding and militant and are more conscious of their rights and privileges than ever before. Their demand for higher wages and better standards of living cannot be ignored. According to this theory, timely and periodical acts of labour welfare can appease the workers. They are some kind of pacifiers which come with a friendly gesture.

6. The Public Relation Theory: This theory provides the basis for an atmosphere of goodwill between labour and management, and also between management and the public, labour welfare programmers under this theory, work as a sort of an advertisement and help an organization to project its good image and build up and promote good and healthy public relations.

7. The Functional Theory: This is also called the Efficiency Theory. Here, welfare work is used as a means to secure, preserve and develop the efficiency and productivity of labour, It is obvious that if an employer takes good care of his workers, they will tend to become more efficient and will thereby step up production. This theory is a reflection of contemporary support for labour welfare. It can work well if both the parties have an identical aim in view; that is, higher production through better welfare. And this will encourage labors participation in welfare programmers.

PRINCIPLES FOR SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF WELFARE ACTIVITIES

The success of welfare activities depends on the approach which has been taken into account in providing such activities to the employees. Welfare policy should be guided by idealistic morale and human value. Every effort should be made to give workers/ employees some voice in the choice of welfare activities so long as it does not amount to dictation from workers.

There are employers who consider all labour welfare activities as distasteful legal liability. There are workers who look upon welfare activities in terms of their inherent right. Both parties have to accept welfare as activities of mutual concern. Constructive and lasting Progress in the matter of social justice can be achieved only if welfare activities are accepted as essential factors in the progress of the business organization.Labour welfare is dependent on certain basic principles. The following are the principles on which successful implementation of welfare programmes depends.

1. Adequacy of Wages: Labour welfare measures cannot be a substitute for wages. Workers have a right to adequate wages. But high wage rates alone cannot create healthy atmosphere, nor bring about a sense of commitment on the part of workers. A combination of social welfare, emotional welfare and economic welfare together would achieve good results.

2. Social Liability of Industry: Industry, according to this principle, has an obligation or duty towards its employees to look after their welfare. The constitution of India also emphasizes this aspect of labour welfare.

3. Impact on Efficiency: This plays an important role in welfare services, and is based on the relationship between welfare and efficiency, though it is difficult to measure this relationship. Programmes for housing, education and training, the provision of balanced diet and family planning measures are some of the important programmes of labour welfare which increases the efficiency of the workers, especially in underdeveloped or developing countries.

4. Increase in Personality: The development of the human personality is given here as the goal of industrial welfare which, according to this principle, should counteract the baneful effects of the industrial system. Therefore, it is necessary to implement labour welfare services. Both inside and outside the factory, that is, provide intra-mural and extra-mural labour welfare services.

5. Totality of Welfare: This emphasizes that the concept of labour welfare must spread throughout the hierarchy of an organization. Employees at all levels must accept this total concept of labour welfare programme will never really get off the ground.

6. Co-ordination or Integration: This plays an important role in the success of welfare services. From this angle, a co-ordinate approach will promote a healthy development of the worker in his work, home and community. This is essential for the sake of harmony and continuity in labour welfare services.

7. Democratic Values: The co-operation of the worker is the basis of this principle. Consultation with, and the agreement of workers in, the formulation and implementation of labour welfare services are very necessary for their success. This principle is based on the assumption that the worker is "a mature and rational individual." Industrial democracy is the driving force here. Workers also develop a sense of pride when they are made to feel that labour welfare programmes are created by them and for them.

8. Responsibility: This recognizes the fact that both employers and workers are responsible for labour welfare. Trade unions, too, are involved in these programmes in healthy manner, for basically labour welfare belongs to the domain of trade union activity. Further, when responsibility is shared by different groups, labour welfare work becomes simpler and easier.

9. Accountability: This may also be called the Principle of Evaluation. Here, one responsible person gives an assessment or evaluation of existing welfare services on a periodical basis to a higher authority. This is very necessary, for then one can judge and analyze the success of labour welfare programmes.

10. Timely: The timeliness of any service helps in its success. To identify the labour problem and to discover what kind of help is necessary to solve it and when to provide this help are all very necessary in planning labour welfare programmes. Timely action in the proper direction is essential in any kind of social work.

Importance of Employee Welfare

As a business, you have to provide various benefits to ensure your employees' welfare. While this may increase your business expense and negatively affect your bottom line, looking after your employees will benefit you in other ways.

Compliance:

As an owner, you are required by law to provide certain benefits for the welfare of your employees. You may have to match the Social Security taxes your employees pay and obtain a worker's compensation insurance policy. If you terminate an employee, you may have to funds to extend his health insurance.

Hiring and Retention:

The benefits an employee receives from his employer for his welfare are often a significant reason why he decides to accept a job offer. As such, providing employee benefits allow you to compete with other businesses to recruit and retain qualify employees. If other employers offer better benefits, good employees may choose to go there.

Employees Motivation:

By providing a plan that's good for employees' welfare, you show them that you value them. This can help make them feel welcome and happy in your company, motivating them to work harder. If your health plan has wellness coverage and preventative care, employees are more likely to stay healthy, cutting down on absenteeism and sick days.

Employees' Well-Being:

For companies that have a large base of employees working under stressful conditions or living away from family, it is important to look at fostering personal happiness and professional growth. Investing in employees pays dividends in terms of higher productivity and greater loyalty

Company Image:

Providing a good employee welfare plan reflects well on your business, building a good company image. It may even earn you some press coverage, giving you free publicity to improve awareness among potential customers. This may boost your sales and increase your profits.

The survey conducted shows that majority of employees are contended with the measures that are implemented for securing and maintaining health and safety of the employees in the company.

The employees surveyed were also satisfied with the provision of quality protection equipments, drinking water, drying and washing facilities.

The survey finding exposed that more than 55.5% of employees surveyed were dissatisfied with the canteen and canteen committee.

Some of the employees surveyed denied that the township facilities and the quality of education are up to the expectations.

Most of the employees surveyed were fully satisfied with the welfare and recreational facilities.

Most of the employees were fully satisfied with all the social security benefits like group accident(GA), group personal accident(GPA), group savings linked insurance scheme(GSLIS), employee deposit linked insurance (EDLI)

SUGGESTIONS

It is very difficult to give suggestions in order to welfare measures in BHEL.Hyderabad .Based on my study ,I think the following suggestions shall be implemented for the more betterment on welfare measures in BHEL, Hyderabad.

To have regular feedback from the employees about the welfare schemes.

regular check up of all statutory welfare measures schemes

To improve in maintenance of township by providing effective services.

Modifications are required in the provisions of medical facilities.

Companies should take early steps to offer them good quality food, which will boost them energy to work more.

Better educational amenities to be provided for the employees.

Administration can think of formulation of a problem solving committee including the employees and administration for the better solution of the welfare problems of the employees.

CONCLUSION

Industrial Relation is an art of living together for the purposes of production, productive efficiency, human wellbeing and industrial progress. Generally, employee welfare measures are recreational, medical, educational, housing, sanitation and so on. Every organization provides the statutory welfare measures but some organization provides some more welfare facilities to the employees so that they may retain the employees which will strengthen the healthy industrial relations.

After analyzing the whole data it can be stated that the overall satisfaction levels of employees about welfare measures in the organization cover under study is satisfactory. However, a few are not satisfied with welfare measures provided by the organization. Therefore it is suggested that the existing welfare measures may be improved further. Such welfare measures enrich the employees standard of living and their satisfaction levels.

Finally I would like to conclude that hoping BHEL to excel in the years to come and to reach greater heights and to have an entrenched presence in the global market.
