CHAPTER-2: INTRODUCTION TO THE TOPIC:
EMPLOYEE-WELFARE
Employees play a very 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 labour force in order to increase the production and to
earn higher profits. The cooperation of the labour force is possible only when they are fully
satisfied with their employer and the working conditions on the job. In the past, the
industrialists and the 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 researches convinced them that the
workers required something more important. In addition to providing monetary benefits,
human treatment given to the employees plays a very important role in seeking their
cooperation. Labour or employee welfare activities benefit not only the workers but also the
management in the form of greater industrial efficiency. The human resource managers
realize that the welfare activities pay a good dividend in the long run, because they contribute
a lot towards the health and efficiency of the workers and towards a high morale.
MEANING OF EMPLOYEE WELFARE
Employee welfare is a dynamic concept in which 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 or salaries. Welfare services are merely
maintainance factors and not motivators, yet they are essential for the health of the
organization since they bear a close connection with the productivities of the labour force.
ACCORDING TO ROYAL COMMISION ON LABOUR
The term welfare is applied to industrial workers is one which must necessarily be elastic,
bearing a somewhat different interpretation in one country from another, according to the
different social custom, the degree of industrialization and the educational development of
the workers
21
c) To improve intellectual, cultural and material conditions of living of the labour and to
relieve them from industrial fatigue.
22
a) Labour welfare facilities help to increase employee productivity or efficiency by
improving their physical and mental health.
b) Welfare measures help to improve the goodwill and public image of the enterprise.
c) Welfare services serve to maintain some peace with the employees unions. Employee
welfare also helps to improve industrial relations and industrial peace.
d) Employees turnover is reduced due to the provision of the welfare facilities.
Employees take active interest in their jobs and work with the feeling of involvement
and satisfaction.
e) Employees secure the benefits of high efficiency, coordinal industrial relations and
labour absenteeism and turnover.
III. BENEFITS TO SOCIETY
Labour welfare is also in the interest of the 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 serves to raise the standards of industry and labour in the country.
23
The contribution of these agencies is as explained below:
I. CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
Till the Second World War, the government of India did very little in the field of welfare.
It is during the Second World War the government of India, for the first time, launched
schemes for labour welfare in their ordinance, ammunition and other war industries to
increase the productivity of the workers and to keep up their morale. With the achievement of
independence and emergence of India as a republic, wedded to the idea of a welfare state and
to socialistic pattern of society, efforts in this direction were intensified. Since then, various
legislations were passed for the welfare of different types of workers. The important acts
which incorporate measures for the welfare if workers are, Factories Act, Indian Mines Act,
Employment of Children Act, Maternity Benefit Act, Plantation Labour Act. Under these acts,
employers have to provide certain basic welfare facilities to the workers.
II. STATE GOVERNMENTS
Various state governments and union territories provide welfare facilities to its workers. The
implementation of many provisions of various labour laws also rest with the state
governments. The state governments run health and family planning centres, centres for
education, vocational guidance, recreation and training of workers and other welfare centres.
The state government also keep the vigil on the employers that they are operating the welfare
schemes made obligatory by the central or state governments. The state government has also
been empowered to prescribe rules for the welfare of workers and appoint appropriate
authorities for the enforcement of welfare provisions under various Acts.
III. EMPLOYERS
At present, the welfare activities are being brought more and more under the legislation rather
than being left to the good sense of the employers. The government has made certain
facilities obligatory on the part of the employers. Most of the employers consider the
expenditure on labour welfare activities as waste money rather than an investment. Even
then, some enlightened employers, on their own initiative have been doing a bit in the
direction of welfare. They have provided medical facilities, hospital and dispensary facilities,
canteens, fair price shops, recreation clubs etc. These facilities are apart from their liability
under various central or state legislations.
V. OTHER AGENCIES
Apart from the agencies closely associated with the industries Philanthropic charitable and
social service organizations like Bombay Social Service League, Seva Sedan society, the
Depressed Classes Mission Society etc provide facilities for the welfare of the working
class on a voluntary basis.
25
premium on the life insurance policies of the employees. The employers can give loans to the
employees for purchase of consumer goods, or at the time of any marriage or other functions
in the family of the employees. The loans to be repaid by the employees in the form of
monthly instalments to be deducted from their salaries. Some organizations help the
employees to start cooperative credit societies to meet the urgent financial needs of the
employees.
b) Medical facilities
Health is a very important thing for the employees. Within the factory premises the
employees must make provision for first aid facilities. In addition, medical schemes are
generally in operation, which provide for the reimbursement of actual medical expenditure
incurred by the employees. The organizations may also prescribe some doctors from whom
26
the employees may get services in case of need. Large organizations can have their own
dispensaries or hospitals for providing medical facilities to the employees.
IV. Education
The National Commission on labour and the committee on labour welfare have recommended
that facilities should be provided for educating the worker and in running schools for children
of the workers. Instead of starting a school, the organization may give education allowance
for the children to the employees or reimburse the educational expenditure of the children of
the employees.
V. Transportation
The organization should provide proper transport facilities to the employees to and from the
factory. With the growth of industries, the distance between work place and residence of the
workers has increased considerably. This facility has, therefore, become very important, as it
will be reducing strain and absenteeism. The committee on labour welfare recommended the
provision of adequate transport facilities to workers to enable them to reach their work place
without loss of much time and without fatigue.
Sometimes, if the employers do not provide transport facilities, they give
conveyance allowance to the employees. The employers can also give interest free or
concessional loans to employees for the purchase of vehicles.
VI. Consumer Cooperative Stores
The national cooperative development board set up a committee in 1961. The committee
suggested that employers should introduce consumer cooperative stores in their welfare
programmes.
27
CHAPTER 3: REVIEW OF LITERATURE
The term welfare suggests the state of well being and implies wholesomeness of the human
being. It is a desirable state of existence involving the mental, physical, moral and emotional
factor of a person. Adequate levels of earnings, safe and humane conditions of work and
Access to some minimum social security benefits are the major qualitative dimensions of
employment which enhance quality of life of workers and their productivity.
Institutional mechanisms exist for ensuring these to workers in the organized sector of the
economy. These are being strengthened or expanded to the extent possible. However, workers
in the unorganized sector, who constitute 90 percent of the total workforce, by and
large, do not have access to such benefits. Steps need to be taken on a larger scale than before
to improve the quality of working life of the unorganized workers, including women workers.
Classical economics and all microeconomics labour is one of four factors of production,
the others being land, capital and enterprise. It is a measure of the work done by human
beings.
There is macroeconomic system theories which have created a concept called human capital
(referring to the skills that workers possess, not necessarily their actual work), although there
are also counterpoising macroeconomic system theories that think human capital is a
contradiction in terms. Labor welfare is the key to smooth employeremployee relations. In
order to increase labor welfare, Employers offer extra incentives in the form of labour welfare
schemes, and to make it possible to pursued workers to accept mechanization.
Sometimes the employers to combat the influence of outside agencies on their employees, use
labor welfare as a tool to minimize the effect they may have on the labour. In the view of
K.K. Chaudhuri, in his Human Resources: A Relook to the Workplace, states that HR
policies are being made flexible. From leaves to compensations, perks to office facilities,
many companies are willing to customize policies to suit different employee segments.
The older employees want social security benefits, younger employees want cash in hand
because they cant think of sticking to a company for many years and retire from the same
company. Therefore one jacket fits all will not be right to motivate the talents and retain
them. Conventions and Recommendations of ILO (1949) sets forth a fundamental principle at
its 26 th conference held in Philadelphia recommended some of the measures in the area of
welfare measures which includes adequate protection for life and health of workers in all
occupations, provision for child welfare and maternity protection, provision of adequate
nutrition, housing and facilities for recreation and culture, the assurance of equality of
educational and vocational opportunity etc.
28
Report of National Commission on Labour (2002), Government of India, made
recommendations in the area of labour welfare measures which includes social security,
extending the application of the Provident Fund, gratuity and unemployment insurance etc.
Shobha Mishra & Manju Bhagat, in their Principles for Successful Implementation of
Labour Welfare Activities, stated that labour absenteeism in Indian industries can be reduced
to a great extent by provision of good housing, health and family care, canteen, educational
and training facilities and provision of welfare activities. The principle for successful
implementation of labour welfare activities is nothing but an extension of democratic values
in an industrialized society. P.L. Rao, in his Labour Legislation in the Making, opines that
professional bodies like National Institute of Personnel Management should constitute a
standing committee to monitor the proceedings in the Parliament regarding the labour welfare
measures.

employee in terms of loyalty and productivity. It is only an engaged employee who is
intellectually and emotionally bound with the organization, feels passionately about its goals
and is committed towards its values who can be termed thus. He goes the extra mile beyond
the basic job responsibility and is associated with the actions that drive the business.
Moreover, in times of diminishing loyalty, employee engagement is a powerful retention
strategy. The fact that it has a strong impact on the bottom line adds to its significance.
Engagement is about motivating employees to do their best. An engaged employee gives his
company his 100 percent.

RESEARCH PROCESS
Different steps are to be followed in the research process and they are explained as below:
1. PROBLEM SOLVING
This is the basic step in the research process. It is well said that A problem well defined is
half solved
Here the problem is To analyze the attitudes of the employees regarding the various
benefits provided to them by Pepsi Food Pvt. Ltd.
2. RESEARCH DESIGN
Once the problem is defined the next step is the Research Design. Research design is the
basic framework which provides guidelines for the rest of the research process.
The research design for this project is descriptive research design as descriptive studies
attempt to obtain a complete and accurate description of this situation. So in this study full
description of the attitudes of the employees regarding the benefits provided to them will be
known so it is a descriptive study.
57
3. SAMPLING DESIGN
The sampling design used in this project is QUOTA SAMPLING, as the sample of the
employees for the survey were selected from the organization from different quotas as some
managers were intervened, some executives and few operators.

CHAPTER-7: CONCLUSIONS
At the end of I would like to conclude that HR department is the heart of every organization
and HR policies are its heart beats because if the heart will not beat at right intervals and at
right times than it will affect the overall health of the individual. In the same way if the
welfare facilities are not made for the employees by the organization, it will affect the
productivity and quality of work of the employees. Pepsi Foods Pvt, Ltd. is one of the
organizations that have realized that their growth and welfare has an effect on the companys
bottom line. I found that the policies of the company highly well framed and being followed
for each and every employee in the organization. In my analysis, I found that the majority of
the employees are highly satisfied with the current policies of the organization but at the same
time they came out with their viewpoint of the areas of the improvement to be made, but
these changes are not demanded because of their dissatisfactions but they feel that changes
made after certain periods of time definitely affect the working capability of the employees.
Most of the employees say they are Highly Satisfied with the cloth material in uniform
Most of the employees say that they satisfied with working environment.
Most of the employees say that they are dissatisfied with the Safety practices for the
welfare of its workers.
Most of the employees say that they are Moderately Satisfied with the food provided in
company.

transport.
Most of the employees say that they Satisfied Birthday party celebrations in company
premises develops good relation
Most of the employees say that they are Highly Satisfied with the company organized

The areas of extreme satisfaction, moderate satisfaction and the areas of the improvement,
according to the employees viewpoint is as show:
Self service in the canteen is very unique policy of the organization and most of the
employees are satisfied and have positive attitude towards such practices they think that
such practices avoids the discrimination among the employees.
Highly satisfied with the companys dress code
Highly satisfied with the companys training facilities.
Most of the employees are highly satisfied with the leave policy and they also favour that
leaves should not be encashed because they think that if the leaves are encashed than
majority of the employees will become money minded and will work in the situations
when they are unfit for the work.
Since the company has completed five years of safety period without any accident, so
most of the employees are satisfied with the safety and security policies of the company
Medical facilities and allowances provided are highly sufficient
Employee engagement activities are highly beneficial in improving the working
efficiency
Transportation provided by the company is highly safe and secure.
Staff sale is quite beneficial
Group insurance policies are highly sufficient
Employee engagement activities are highly beneficial in improving the working
efficiency
Transportation provided by the company is highly safe and secure.
95
AREAS OF MODERATE SATISFACTION
Few of the employees are not satisfied with the safety shoes provided to them as the part
of the uniform. Since they are heavy in weight and the employees feel uncomfortable
while working in the plant.
Discounts on snacks are sufficient but not on soft drinks.
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT
Most of the employees demand that the A.C facility should be made available in the
canteen not only during the lunch time and tea break but during the complete working
hours. Since, at some employees work place the temperature is very high, so that, they
can sit in the canteen if they feel highly suffocated at their workplace.
Many employees view that there is a need to improve the seat quality within the bus,
since the bus is small in size, so the fan or A.C facility should be made available to them.
Lunch facility should be made available to the employees.
The above information gives the clear picture that the majority of
the employees are satisfied with the current policies of the organization. It is the highly
skilled HR department of the organization that have made these policies available to the
employees and made them feel to be the part of such prestigious organization. It is because of
the high levels of the satisfaction of the employees had made Pepsi Foods Pvt. Ltd to be
NUMBER ONE PEOPLE COMPANY

CHAPTER-8: SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
My survey has given me an opportunity to bring out the human problems and to express their
feelings, fears, doubts and dissatisfactions among the minds of the employees. So, on the
basis of their discontentments there are some suggestions and recommendations on my part
that the companies could think over it and take some correct actions regarding their
operations.
The management of the organization should try to recommend the following changes
in the uniform:
a. A new tailor should be employed for the stitching of the uniform and the trial should
be taken before placing the complete orders of the uniform and efforts must be done
to make improvements in this regard.
b. Everyone wants some change in his/her life, similarly by wearing same uniform for
years together make the employees dissatisfied in this aspect. So the management
should make a change in the colour and logo of uniform.
c. Name of the employees should be inscribed on the uniform. This will help the new
employees to know the old ones and will also help the visitors of the organization to
easily identify the person they want to meet.
The company should try to enhance the availability of their products on more
discounts to the employees of the organization, as they being the part of Pepsi, have
complete rights to get such benefits.
The company should give loans to the employees for the purchase of consumer goods
or at the time of any marriage or other functions in the family of the employee.
The organization should provide house rent allowances to the employees or provide
loans to the employees at concessional rates to enable them to construct their
house/flats.
97
The organization should give educational allowance for the children of the employees
or reimburse the educational expenditure of the children of the employees.
Lunch facility should be made available to the employees. As most of the employees
are living away from their home town and if the organization is unable to provide
such facilities as employees being less in number than Tiffin system from outside
should be made available to them.
Some type of interaction trainings should be given to the employees i.e. the
interaction skills among employees within the organization should be improved upon.
Regarding the transportation facilities more luxury buses should be made available for
the daily movement of the employees. The colour of the buses should be blue with
logo of Pepsi painted on them. This will also serve as a source of advertisement for
the company.
Most of the employees are not clear about the insurance policies given to them by the
company. So such policies should be made clearer and proper documentation in the
form of written proof should be handed over to the employees.
At the time of a death of a particular employee, one member of the family should be
given an opportunity to be the part of the organization and to occupy the position of
the ex-employee.
The management should make the recommendations regarding the leave policy. If any
employee has taken the leaves as per the policy in a year, than such leaves should be
encashed for the number of days worked in accordance to the leaves.
There are some old employees in the organization who cannot participate in the sports
week being conducted. For such employees meditation classes should be made
available after the working hours for their better health and fitness.
During the Pepsi Day celebrations prizes should be given to the children of the
employees on securing good marks in their classes.
98
In addition to this if any employee has done some extra-ordinary work during the
tenure of the year, the employees should be appreciated by the organization in front of
their families which makes them feel proud and gives them the recognition of being
the part of prestigious organization.
The management should also make efforts to conduct the sports competition with the
other organizations at least once in a year.
The Pepsi Day celebrations should be done on a large scale i.e. some celebrity should
be invited in the plant premises and show should be organized at good levels. This
will develop more public relations and will also become the source of advertisement.
The facility of ESOPs (employee stock option plan) should be given to the
employees as this is the best way to motivate them and improve their productivity and
efficiency.
99
CHAPTER-9: LIMITATIONS
Every project has its own limitations. The purpose of mentioning is to help readers form a
more accurate interpretation of the results. Present study is subject to the following
limitations which would be taken into consideration.
Employees of the plant are so busy in their work that they are not able to give proper
times regarding the discussions of my project.
Due to time constraints, the size of the sample was restricted. It may not be possible to
generalize the results on the basis of such small sample size.
Some employees are highly loyal and satisfied towards the organization due to some
specific reason as some employees being the member of canteen committee, one
being sports coordinator etc. As the matter of which the results obtained may be bias.
Covering each and every benefit of the organization is not possible for the survey and
discussing each and every aspect of the questionnaire to everyone has also become the
part of limitation of the study.
