INTRODUCTION TO EMPLOYEE WELFARE
Employee welfare defines as “efforts to make life worth living for workmen”.
These efforts have their origin either in some statute formed by the state or in some local custom
or in collective agreement or in the employer’s own initiative.
To give expression to philanthropic and paternalistic feelings.
To win over employee’s loyalty and increase their morale.
To combat trade unionism and socialist ideas.
To build up stable labor force, to reduce labor turnover and absenteeism.
To develop efficiency and productivity among workers.
To save oneself from heavy taxes on surplus profits.
To earn goodwill and enhance public image.
To reduce the threat of further government intervention.
To make recruitment more effective (because these benefits add to job appeal).
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 and insurance against disease, accident and unemployment for the
workers and their families. Labor welfare entails all those activities of employer which are
directed towards providing the employees with certain facilities and services in addition to wages
or salaries.
NEED FOR THE STUDY
Employee’s plays a major role for achieving organization goals. This can be
achieved when employees are motivated, committed to organization. An employee welfare
scheme plays a major role to secure social justice and equity, reduce the industrial unrest and to
improve productivity, so emphasis is made on the study of welfare measure activities in NTPC
Ltd.
Employee’s welfare is occupying a third position, compared to survival and
continuance being the first and second for organization. Such as the importance of labor welfare
have increased together with the wages, labor welfare motivates an employee to keep his
maximum potential in increasing the productivity of organization to fulfill or reach its objectives.
Thus for an organization to fulfill its objectives employers of the organization must conduct
welfare activities which has today become a definite tool in the human resource management for
every organization.
Welfare does not end with providing workmen compensation, it requires taking
up of safety measures to prevent damage and risk to the workmen. We can identify various
objectives for having welfare program. It could be partly humanitarian to enable your workers
enjoy a fuller and richer life partly civic to develop among them a sense of responsibility and
dignity as noble citizens of nation.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY

from their quarter allotment to their recreation, refreshment, before examining the township
facilities in Coromandel, an attempt was more for their mental pleasure, to get relief from their
work stress like parks, clubs, and libraries.
Hence the study specially deals with the township facilities of the NTPC.It has been
recognized that these benefits help employee in meeting some of their life’s contingencies and to
meet the social obligation of employee.

Employee’s demands more and varied types of welfare measure rather than pay hike
because of reduction in tax burden on their part of employees and in view of the galloping price
index and cost of living.

other than the specific problem will be termed internal secondary data. Secondary data generated

CONCLUSION
NTPC Simhadri is one of the best among the power generating companies in our
country. In the present scenario, the human resource management has to play a very importance
role. For any organization, the employees are instrumental in executing the plans and meeting the
work targets of the company with greater responsibility. In this endeavor, HR department plays
a pivotal role to support and fulfill the needs of the employees.
The term ‘welfare measures’ refers to the facilities provided for the employees at
the working environment which are called statutory welfare measures and facilities provided for
them and & their family members which are called not-statutory welfare measures. The main
aim of providing these welfare measures is to satisfy and enhance the morale of the employees.
The study reveals that both the statutory & non-statutory welfare measures
provided by the company are very attractive and employees are highly satisfied and motivated.
With all the above it is learnt that, they will go a long way with developing the
existing facilities and implementing new facilities to benefit of the employees and their family
members.
