EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

An industry is certainly not a place where workers and employers try to get the maximum each other. Both employee and management can be lot more if and when they work together as partners in an enterprise, and if they have sympathy of understanding of each other problems, which is the basic problem in employee welfare.

COMPANY PROFILE
Kerala State Electricity Board commenced functioning on 31-3-1957 After Noon as per order no. EL1-6475/56/PW dated 7-3-1957 of the Kerala State Government. It had 5 members with Sri K P Sreedharan Nair as Chairman. All the staff belonging to the erstwhile Electricity Department was transferred to the Board. The 'Board' consisting of the Chairman and the Members is the Supreme Governing Body.

State Electricity Consultative Council

The State Government by their notification EL3-9345 dated 21-2-1958 constituted the State Electricity Consultative Council under section 16 of the Electricity Supply Act. The Council functions as consultative body and the Board is required to place before the council the annual financial statement and supplementary statements if any before submitting such statements to the State Government. Over the years, the Board has grown many times to reach the present position catering to the demands of the industrial and domestic consumers, whose per capita consumption has shown a significant increase due to industrialization and increased usage of electric

KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD household goods, improved economy etc. While it was possible to meet the energy demand from the Boards own power plants in 1958, it has to resort to import of power from Central Sector and also buy power from other power generating utilities within the state to meet the demand for power at present. To meet the ever-increasing demand for power in the future, the Board has plans to take up construction of more generating plants mostly in the hydel sector, with proportionate investment and schemes in the transmission and distribution sector to improve the system. In order to improve the functioning of the Board, the Board has been segregated into three profit centers as part of the power policy declared in 1998 by the Kerala State Government.

CHAPTER 3

EMPLOYEE WELFARE
3.1 INTRODUCTION

Welfare is a broad concept referring to a state of an individual or a group, in a desirable relationship with the total environment, ecological, economic and social. Employee welfare includes both the social and economic contents of welfare. Social welfare is primarily concerned with the solution of the weaker sections of the society like prevention of destitution, poverty etc. It aims at social development by such means its social legislation, social reform, social services, social work social action, the object of economic welfare is to promote economic development by increasing producing an

M P BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT

17

KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD productivity and through equitable distribution.

Meaning

Employee welfare implies the setting up to minimum desirable standards and the provisions of facilities like health, food, clothing, housing, medical assistance, education, insurance, job security, recreation, etc. such facilities enable the worker and his family to lead a good work life, family life & social life. Employee welfare measures are an effort towards revolving the industrial worker of his worries and making them happy.

Definitions:

The labor investigations committed (1944-46) defines labor welfare as anything done for the intestinal, physical, moral and economic betterment of the workers where by employers, by government or by other agencies over and above what is laid down by law or what is normally expected as part of the contractual benefits for which the workers may have bargained. According to the report of the Asian regional conference of the ILO, the term Employee welfare is understood to include such services facilities and amenities which may be established in or in the incite of undertakings to enable the persons employed whether to perform their own in healthy congenial surroundings and provide them amenities conductive to good health and high morale. Therefore Employee welfare aims at providing such service, facilities and amenities that enable the workers, employed in industries factories to perform their work

M P BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT

18

KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD in healthy, congenial surrounding conductive to good health and high morale.

The importance of Employee welfare measures was accepted as early as 1931, when the royal commission of labor started. The benefits, which go under this nomenclature, are of great importance to the worker and which he is unable to secure by himself. The labor welfare scheme may be regarded as a wise investment.

The worker should at least have the means and facilities to keep himself in a state of health and efficiency. The working condition should be such to safeguard his health and protect him against occupational hazards.

OBJECTIVES OF EMPLOYEE WELFARE: 1. To avoid the frustration of workers and thereby increase their overall efficiency and productivity. 2. To improve the health and working environment of the individual 3. To release the employees from personal and family worries 4. To provide better amenities to the workers and thereby afford him a wider concept of life 5. To increase the standard of living 6. To reduce absenteeism and labor turnover in organization.

SCOPE OF LABOUR WELFARE;

There are certain requirements, which we believe labour welfare should meet, it should

M P BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT

19

KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD a) Enable workers to live a richer and more satisfactory life. b) Contribute to the productivity of Employee and efficiency of the enterprise c) Enhance the standard of living of workers by indirectly reducing the burden on their purse. d) Be in the harmony with similar service obtaining in the neighboring community where the enterprise is situated e) Be administrate liable and essential development out look.

Thus if it would be clear that we inclined to regard all extra all mural and intramural as well as statutory and non-statutory welfare measures of employers, government and trade unions as fallings within the scope.

3.2 EMPLOYEE WELFARE MAIN CLASSIFICATION:

The Employee welfare includes various activities relating to the different aspects of Employee class in brief. The activities are generally divided into 2 broad categories.

a Extramural b Intramural

EXTRAMURAL

Those welfare activities, which are undertaken outside the vanity of the undertaking. For example, facilities of transport to and from the place of work, provision of good accommodations, maternity benefits, medical benefits, provident fund etc.

INTRAMURAL:

M P BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT

20

KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD

Those welfare activities, which are undertaken inside the premises of the factory:

Ex:- Canteen, restroom, first aid equipment, proper ventilation and sanitation etc.

By applying another mode of classification Employee welfare measures can be divided in to three categories

i.

Statutory welfare measures

ii. Voluntary / non-statutory welfare measures iii. Mutual welfare measures

STATUTORY WELFARE MEASURES It includes all activities undertaken under the provisions of law passed by central & state government for general welfare of workers which are compulsory provisions relating to living conditions minimum wages, sanitary conditions hours of work lighting etc.

The employee is legally bound to adapt welfare measures under different labor legislation.

EX; The factories act, 1948 The payment of gratuity Act, 1972

3.5 STATUTORY WELFARE MEASURE 1 Canteen (section 46) 2 Shelters, restrooms and lunch rooms (sections 47)

M P BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT

21

KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD 3 Creches (section 48) 4 Washing facilities 5 Facilities for storing and drying clothing (Section 43) 6 Facilities for sitting (section 44) 7 First aid appliances (Section 45) 8 Drinking water (section 18) 9 Latrines & urinals (section 19) 10 Spittoons (Sections 20)

STATUTORY SOCIAL SECURITY WELFARE MEASURES 1 Family pension schemes 2 Gratuity 3 Provident fund scheme 4 Employment state insurance scheme 5 Deposit linked insurance scheme

3.3 NON-STATUTORY / VOLUNTARY WELFARE MEASURE

Voluntary welfare measures include those undertaken by the employees voluntarily without any pressure from government. This is intended for efficiency of workers such as free food government. This is intended for efficiency of workers such as free food during work, facilities for relaxation reading room etc.

Non-statutory Employee welfare includes those activities undertaken by the employers for their workers welfare. The idea is apparently philanthropic but it is also a

M P BIRLA INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT

22

KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD round investment because the various welfare activities of the employees not only increase the efficiency of the workers but also reduce the chances of industrial disputes.

Non-statutory Employee welfare work is also undertaken by some social organizations. The various types of non-statutory Employee welfare activities, which may be undertaken by the employers, are

a) Educational facilities for the workers and their children in the form of provision of schools, libraries and financial assistance b) Medical facilities for worker and their families in the form of first aid centers, dispensaries and treatment of diseases c) Free transport facilities d) Recreational facilities in the form of music, dance, drama, games and other cultural activities e) Housing facilities - construct houses or provide housing loans for workers f) Consumer co-operative societies - which provide members with good quality food grains and other. g) Family planning programmers h) Counseling programs for the management of workers personal and emotional problems.

Welfare activities greatly affect the health and efficiency of the workers and promote industrial peace. Therefore, the employers must under take the responsibility of providing welfare measures for their workers. Welfare activities will help to establish a harmonious relationship between employers and workers. The employers thus have a moral obligation to look after the welfare of their workers.

The Employee welfare measures mentioned in the previous topics contribute positively to employee satisfaction and hence play an important role in reducing employee turnover and absenteeism and improve workers health and efficiency.

. 3.4 MUTUAL WELFARE MEASURES

These welfare measures are undertaken jointly by the management and workers by each other co-operation. Sometimes mutual welfare measures activities are organized by unions for benefits of workers such as co-operative societies etc.

MUTUAL WELFARE MEASURES 1 Credit co-operative society 2 Death relief fund 3 Group insurance scheme

4.1 Introduction

Welfare of employee is the welfare of industry. They rise or sink together; the countrys progress is bound up with the progress of industry and of employee. A workers well being inside as well as outside the factory is mainly out of employers concern, because it has a direct bearing on the efficiency of his work and job satisfaction. It is the right of the worker as a human being to get the minimum amenities, which in turn contributes to a very large extent towards production efficiency.

They are also the best kind of investment for employees as they promote industrial efficiency and provide the workers facilities and amenities, which enable the

KERALA STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD workers employed to perform their work in healthy an congenial climate.

4.2 Problem Statement

The liberalization, privatization and globalization of Indian economy in the last few years have presented unprecedented challenges to the decision makers in government, industry and service sectors; to compete in the global market with competitive edge necessitates the industry to improve its productivity and quality of products.

This objective cannot be achieved unless and until the workers are highly satisfied with the working environment and welfare facilities, which have an important impact on industrial relations.
