FATHER OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN INDIA:

Human resource management actually has a history dating back to the times when artisans and

craftsmen would enlist the aid of another to discuss ways to manage their laborers. However

modern human resource management has its roots in the National cash register company. John

Patterson, the president of the company, formed a personnel department of the company, formed

a personnel department to manage the grief of workers after a bitter union strike in 1901.

It’s Mr. Udai Pareek, who was a person in late 1960’s at IIMA. Human resource management

came in India through his efforts and L&T Corporation in India. Before that no company in India

used to have Human Resource practices. He is world renowned personality.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN INDIA:

India is widely recognized as one of the most exciting emerging economics in the world. Besides

becoming a global hub of outsourcing, Indian firms are spreading their wings globally through

merger and acquisition. During the first four months of 1997, Indian companies have bought 34

foreign companies for about U.S $ 11 billion. This impressive development has been due to

growth in inputs (capital and labor) as well as factor productivity. By the year 2020, Indian is

expected to add about 250 million to its labour pool at the rate of about 18 million a year, which

is more than the entire labour force of Germany. This so called “demographic dividend” has

drawn a new interest in the Human resource concept and practices in India.

VALUE OF CONTEXT OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN

INDIA:

The management Ideologies in India dates back at least four centuries. Arthashastra written by

celebrated Indian scholar- practices Chanakya had three key areas of exploration

Public policy

Administration and utilization of people

Taxation and accounting principles

Parallel to such pragmatic formulations, a deep rooted value system, drawn from the early

Aryan thinking called Vedanta, deeply influenced the societal and institutional values in India.

Overall, Indian collective culture had an interesting individualistic core while the civilization

values of duty to family, group and society was also very important while Vedanta ideas

nurtured an inner private sphere of individualism.

prosperity, and development of human resource. The concept of welfare can be approached from

EMPLOYEE INVOLVEMENT:

Employee involvement is creating an environment in which people have an impact on decisions

and actions that effect their jobs. The effective involvement of employees as partners in

organization’s decision- making processes is a key element in developing capacity for continuing

improvement. It ensures that employees understand how what they do contribute to the

organization is perceived internally and externally.

Enhanced employment involvement is seeking the views of employees ( as individuals or

through representative bodies) before decisions are taken and taking them into account when

reaching a decision.

There is no one template for successful employee involvement. Each organization needs to find a

solution, which suits its own culture. Effective employee involvement develops high

performance workplaces. Employee involvement increases ownership and commitment, retains

Page 9: A Study on Employee Welfare of Beml Limited, Bangalore

best employees and fosters an environment in which people choose to be motivated and

contributing.

How to involve employees in decision making and continuous improvement activities is the

strategic aspect of involvement and can include such methods as suggestions system,

manufacturing cells, work teams, continuous improvement meetings, Kaizen (continuous

improvement) events, corrective action processes and periodic discussions with the managers.

Intrinsic to most employee involvement processes in team effectiveness, communication and

problem solving; the development of reward and recognition systems; and frequently, the sharing

of gains made through employee involvement efforts.

Employee involvement is not the goal nor is it a tool, practiced in many organizations. Rather, it

is a management and leadership philosophy about how people are most enabled to contribute to

continuous improvement and the ongoing success of their work organization.

Page 12: A Study on Employee Welfare of Beml Limited, Bangalore

NECESSITY OF WELFARE IN INDIA

NON STATUTORY MEASURES: In their work life, the workers have to put in long

hours of work in unhealthy surroundings. The drudgery of factory work continues to have

an adverse effect on them, even after they knock off for the day. As most of them have

migrated from rural areas they are thrown in to an uncongenial environment, which is also

strange to them. As a result, they fall prey to alcoholism, gambling and other devices which

demoralize them and completely ruin them. The high rate of absenteeism in Indian

industries is indicative of the lack of commitment on the part of workers for they want to

escape from the environment whenever possible. The absenteeism can be reduced by the

provision of good housing of health and family care. The good educational and training

facilities are also important for workers in Indian industries because of higher literacy rates

and because of lack of proper educational background among them, These facilities would

help in decreasing the number of industrial accidents, increasing their sense of efficiency

and commitment and made it possible for them not to be exploited by the moneylenders.

The close association between efficiency and welfare has been recognized and discussed at

various conferences such as Indian labor conference and in the meetings of national

productivity council. The sports, entertainment and other recreational facilities help the

workers to develop their health and personality and enable them to feel that their state and

their employers are interested in the welfare.

SCOPE OF WELFARE IN INDIA:

The non statutory welfare measures must necessarily be elastic bearing a somewhat a

different interpretation in one country from another according to different social customs,

the degree of industrialization and the educational development of the workers. Limits

Page 13: A Study on Employee Welfare of Beml Limited, Bangalore

therefore, cannot be rigidly laid down for the scope of labour welfare for all industries and

for times. They have to be elastic and flexible enough to suit the existing working conditions

of the workers and to include all the essential pre-requisites of life and minimum basic

amenities.

In the report of the committee on labour welfare, 1969 the scope of labour welfare covered

such services, facilities and amenities as adequate medical facilities, rest and recreational

facilities, transport facilities, accommodation of workers employed at distance from their

homes 7 such other services, amenities and facilities including social security measures has

contribute to improvement of conditions under which they are employed. The subject of

labour welfare is thus fairly wide and limited to any one country, one region one industry or

occupation its scope has been “described by writers and institutions of different shades in

different ways and from different angles”. The lie demarcation cannot be very precise but

living conditions of the workers and their families and make their lives more meaningful in

the final analyses labour services should: “enable workers to live a richer and more

satisfactory life”.

Contribute to the productivity of labour and efficiency of the enterprise

Raise the standard of living of workers by indirectly reducing the burden on their purse.

Be in tune with harmony with similar services obtaining in a neighboring community

where an enterprise is situated.

Be based on an intelligent prediction of the future needs of industrial work and be so

designed as to offer a cushion to absorb the shock of industrialization and urbanization

on workers and

Be administratively viable and essentially development in outlook.

OBJECTIVES OF NON STATUTORY WELFARE

To reduce of threat of future government intervention

To make recruitment more effective.

Page 14: A Study on Employee Welfare of Beml Limited, Bangalore

To earn goodwill and enhance public image.

To build up stable labour force to reduce labour turnover and absenteeism.

IMPORTANCE OF NON STATUTORY WELFARE MEASURES:

The benefits are of great importance to the worker, which he is unable to secure by himself. The

scheme of labour welfare may be regarded as a wise investment because this would be the

profitable returns in the form of great efficiency.

The various non statutory welfare measures provided by the employers will have immediate

impact on the health, physical and mental efficiency, alertness, morale, and overall efficiency of

the workers and there by contributing to the highest productivity.

Non statutory welfare measures unable workers to have richer and more satisfying life. It raises

the standard of living of the workers by indirectly reducing the burden on their pocket. Welfare

measures improve the physical and psychological health of the employees, which intern

enhances their efficiency and productivity.

preventing them from resorting to unhealthy practices like absenteeism, labour unrest strike, etc.

From the analysis it is interpreted that 56 percent of the respondents agree that the

company is providing all statutory measure, 30 percent of them are in dilemma but

14 percent of the respondents disagree because they are not happy with safety

measures.

Page 103: A Study on Employee Welfare of Beml Limited, Bangalore

Majority of the employees were aware of the welfare measure in BEML

Limited and they also agreed that welfare is done for the comfort and

improvement of employees.

From the study we can see that few employees expressed their dissatisfaction

towards sports because only hockey is encouraged and rest of the games such as

kabbadi football is neglected.

According to findings few employees expressed their dissatisfaction towards

the lighting facility as most of the employees were in the age group of 40-60

and they preferred comfortable to work in morning shift and none of them

expressed their feeling to work in evening shift and night shift because of dim

light.

Few of the respondents conveyed their dissatisfaction with educational facility

provided by the company because they are not happy with the scholarship

facility provided by the company and most of the employees have just heard

about it.

14 percent of the respondents are not availing library facility as the books are

very few, very old books and because of shortage of books the employees have

to wait for a long time to get that particular book.

From the study we can see that few employees are not satisfied with

reimbursement amount paid by the company for the crèche facility.

It is found that most of the employees were concerned about the reimbursement

of the school fees, medical facility, scholarship, etc because majority of the

employees were married.

It is found that the ventilation facility in the hangars 4 is not good.

Some of the other findings that the researcher was able to get after the wage

revision are as follows.

School fees reimbursement earlier it was 65 and now it is reached to225.

Page 104: A Study on Employee Welfare of Beml Limited, Bangalore

Conveyance allowance – For all employees earlier it was 350 and now it is 500

per month.

Loan facility- The company decided to give four wheeler loan to the senior

most employees in the organization before it was just two wheeler loan.

Uniform stitching charge- Before the wage revision it was 360 and now it is

700.

Medical reimbursement- Before it was 700 for OPD employees and now it is

1000

For non OPD employees it was 1200 and now it is 2400.

Computer grant of 10000 is given to all employees in the company.

Insurance is also raised to 4lakhs from 3lakhs.

Immediate death relief fund or funeral charge has been raised to 10000 from

5000.

Housing loan amount after wage revision is raised to 6 lakhs from 4 lakhs.

The researcher also identified that strength of employees in the second shifts

is very less in the production line when compared to the morning shift.

SUGGESSIONS:

Page 105: A Study on Employee Welfare of Beml Limited, Bangalore

BEML Limited can fallow National Safety Council to improve safety level,

which trains the employees through seminars and film show for safeguarding

themselves against accidents.

Training programme should be incorporated and designed according to recent

trends developed in the industrial field.

Management can encourage sports activities as many employees expressed

dissatisfaction towards the sports facilities provided by the company.

Library facility can be improved by collecting more collections of books related

to present scenario and sitting facility should also be improved.

Lighting Facility should be improved, if work conditions are improved it will

certainly improve the health and efficiency of the workers and this will increase

the production and productivity of workers.

Reimbursement amount for crèche facility should be increased.

Ventilation Facility in the hangar 4 should be improved by installing coolers in

the manufacturing unit.

Page 107: A Study on Employee Welfare of Beml Limited, Bangalore

From the above Findings and Interpretation, I understood that the BEML Limited

maintains effective human resource management by implementing and maintaining

all welfare facilities in order to increase the performance of the employees and

effectiveness in safeguarding hazardous accidents inside the company.

The employees are aware of employee welfare measure and most of the employees

are also aware of statutory and non statutory welfare facilities and most of the

views and opinions of the employees are considered and they are provided with

those facilities, employees are availing this facilities on the daily basis and these

facilities give the employees more opportunity to meet and build relationship with

their superiors.
