Abstract : In the early stages of Industrialization, the scope of Personnel Management was very limited. Recent
developments in the field of Management increased the scope of Personnel Management. Employee Welfare is an
important fact of Industrial Relation, giving satisfaction to the worker in a way, which even a good wage cannot.
This study was conducted by the researcher at TSNPDCL, Warangal (Telangana State). Welfare programs are
aimed at promoting the physical, psychological and general well being of the working population. It is a corporate
attitude or commitment reflected in the expressed case for employers at all levels. Findings were from the part of
canteen facilities, medical facilities and other fringe benefits. The employee reaction is neutral towards the
facilities provided by the company. It can be concluded that the welfare measures in an organization are one of the
factors for the workers to stay within the organization and to work towards success of the organization and this has
been evident in this organization.
Keywords - Employee welfare, Welfare measures, Facilities of the organization, Power Sector,

INTRODUCTION
I. EMPLOYEE WELFARE IS AN IMPORTANT FACET OF INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS, IT IS THE EXTRA DIMENSION, GIVING TO THE WORKER IN
WAY WHICH EVEN A GOOD WAGE CANNOT. WITH THE GROWTH OF INDUSTRIALIZATION AND MECHANIZATION. IT HAS ACQUIRED ADDED
IMPORTANCE. THE WORKER, BOTH IN INDUSTRY AND AGRICULTURE, CANNOT COPE WITH THE PACE OF MODERN LIFE WITH MINIMUM
SUBSTANCE AMENITIES. HE NEEDS AN ADDED STIMULUS TO KEEP BODY AND SOUL TOGETHER. EMPLOYERS HAVE ALOSE REALIZED

THE IMPORTANCE OF THEIR ROLE IN PROVIDING THESE EXTRA AMENITIES. AND YET, THEY ARE NOT ALWAYS ABLE TO FULFILL WORKERS'

DEMANDS HOWEVER REASONABLE THEY MIGHT BE. THEY ARE PRIMARILY CONCERNED WITH THE VIABILITY OF THE ENTERPRISE.

EMPLOYEE WELFARE, THOUGH IT HAS BEEN PROVED TO CONTRIBUTE TO EFFICIENCY IN PRODUCTION. EXPENSIVE. EACH EMPLOYER
DEPENDING ON THEIR PRIORITIES GIVES VARYING DEGREES OF IMPORTANCE TO EMPLOYEE WELFARE. IT BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT

IS NOT SURE THAT ALL EMPLOYERS ARE PROGRESSIVE MINDED AND WILL PROVIDE BASIC WELFARE MEASURES THAT IT INDUCES

STATUTORY LEGISLATION FROM TIME TO TIME TO BRING ABOUT SOME MEASURE OF UNIFORMITY IN THE BASIC AVAILABLE TO INDUSTRIAL

WORKERS.

Today, employers have generally accepted welfare. The state only intervenes to " widen the area of applicability",
It is now accepted that it is a social right. The Committee on Labor Welfare(CLW), formed in1969 to review the
Employee welfare scheme, described it as social security measures that contribute to improve the conditions under
which workers are employed in India. Void considers it is as an " expression of assumption by industry of its
responsibility for its employees". Though industrial workers conditions necessitate more than minimum amenities,
and hence most statutory legislation applies to them.

In a resolution in 1947, the ILO defined Employee welfare as "such services, facilities and amenities as adequate
canteens, rest and recreation facilities, and arrangements fro travel to from work, and for the accommodation of
workers employed at a distance from their houses, and such other amenities and facilities as contribute to improve
the conditions under which workers are employed.
