Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to initiate an employee welfare scheme in my organization, which is a private firm. I would appreciate it if you could provide me with the procedures for implementing this scheme, which will benefit our employees. It is worth mentioning that we already have ESIC and PF facilities in place.

Regards,

Dear Revathy Vasu,

Employee Welfare Measures:

We have to keep the employees attached to the organization and towards this, keep them happy to the extent possible. The remedy is welfare measures. Welfare measures are over and above the wages paid to employees. These include improved working conditions, healthcare facilities, insurance for self and family, recreation facilities, improved industrial relations, and so on. These measures may not be in the form of monetary benefits.

All these measures are aimed at:

Keeping the workers happy and satisfied, providing a better employment life and health for workers, reducing stress situations, and improving intellectual, cultural, and material conditions.

Welfare measures are as follows:

Welfare measures are provided mainly by the employers. However, government schemes, social setups, and charitable agencies may also extend their help, all aimed at improving employee health, economic betterment, and social status.

There are reasonable welfare measures available to employees through statutory provisions. In most cases, collective bargaining helps to improve the degree of welfare facilities.

The welfare measures are not rigid. They will be changing all the time. It reflects the personality of the Welfare Officer on his vision, creativity, and understanding of the spirit of his work ethics.

Welfare measures may also help develop the personality of employees to a certain extent.

The motive behind providing welfare schemes is to create an efficient, healthy, loyal, and satisfied labor force for the organization.

The important welfare measures can be detailed as follows:

Housing schemes, medical benefits, education, and recreation facilities for workers' families help in raising their standards of living. Because the welfare of their families is taken care of, workers pay more attention towards work, increasing their productivity.

Employees become loyal to the employer. They will stick on. They start taking an active interest in their jobs and work with a feeling of involvement and participation.

There are statutory and non-statutory welfare schemes.

Under the Factories Act and Rules, Dock Workers' Act, Mines Act, etc., there are certain provisions on Welfare. These are to be complied with, failing which legal proceedings will be initiated against the employer. Even the appointment of a Labor Welfare Officer where more than 500 workers are employed is a statutory requirement.

STATUTORY WELFARE SCHEMES

The statutory welfare schemes include the following provisions:

1. Drinking Water
2. Facilities for sitting
3. First aid appliances
4. Latrines and Urinals
5. Canteen facilities
6. Spittoons
7. Lighting
8. Washing places
9. Changing rooms
10. Restrooms, etc.

NON-STATUTORY SCHEMES

Housing, recreation facilities, and all that one can imagine can be extended to the workers under welfare schemes. Some industries provide schools and colleges, sports clubs and teams of their own, scholarships for employees' children, etc., all aimed at one thing - keep the employee and get their work done.

It is too big a subject. You can go through statutes and use your imagination.

Hope it sheds some light on your needs.
