CHAPTER 6 LEARNING EXPERINCE
Learning is a continuous process by which we acquire the knowledge that we apply to our future endeavor. The university has given me an opportunity to learn many aspects pertaining to the working of the organization. The objective of the project is to study the structure, style, system, skills, strategy, staff, shared values and functioning of various departments. A theoretical study of management practices will not offer a useful insight if not supplemented by a practical exposure. The Project work at Hotel Sandesh the prince exposed me to the management practices. The strategies studied in theory in a controlled environment will fail to deliver in the actual business scenario. Hence this study taught me that firms have to thrive in harsh market realities and even the best of the strategies may be ineffective. It was an enriching experience to work in Hotel Sandesh the prince. It gave me a good exposure where I acquired the practical knowledge about the overall functioning of the organization. The project work has given me an opportunity to study the marketing strategy and also make myself ready to face different situations which an individual would normally come across during the work life. The project provided an opportunity to relate theoretical aspects in working environment concepts such as delegation of authority, quality management, product development, etc. Constant innovation in product development and superior customer service has made Hotel Sandesh the prince what it is today. It helped me realize that any organization cannot be complacent with its current position. It has to continuously innovate and come out with new ideas. The interaction with the employees and the staff gave me an insight and a firsthand experience of the organizational scenario and has indeed widened my horizon of knowledge. The disciplined, friendly and supportive working environment leads to higher productivity. All the staff at Hotel Sandesh the prince works in a highly disciplined atmosphere.

SPECIFIC LEARNING:While studying SWOT analysis of the company and the competitors, I realized that, the SWOT as a tool really benefits managers to take day-to-day decisions and give strategic dimension to it keeping in mind the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of each of these companies. The 7S framework gave a sort of birds eye view into strategy, structure, skill set, style, system, staff and shared values. I also realized the importance of shared values as it determines the very culture of the organization. Wide- ranging business, growing returns and a reputation to reckon, makes working with Hotel Sandesh the prince an enriching experience. Where entrepreneurial skills are valued, excellence is the by- word, and performance is a pre- requisite. To conclude, this study gave me practical insights to the working of an undertaking and in supplementing my theoretical learning. I am in better position to understand, comprehend the problems faced by the organization and to work under competitive environment. The project has helped me to acquire skill required to be competitive in near future.

CHAPTER 7 LABOUR WELFARE MEASURES

ORIGIN OF LABOUR WELFARE ACTIVITIES:
The origin of welfare work in India may be traced from the First World War of 19141918. Since the First World War, it has been expanding steadily, mostly on voluntary basis. The economic depression also did much to temper the interest, which the war had kindled. The governments as well as industrialist were prompted to take active interest in welfare work due to the discontent and industrial unrest that prevailed in the country, and to some extent due to moral pressure brought to bear on them by the work of the International Labour Organization. The Second World War received and strengthened welfare movement, and the benefits resulting from a proper regard for the healthy and well being of the employees were gradually recognized, and employers co-operated with the government in the provision of improved amenities. Active interest in welfare facilities has survived the impetus of the war and though the welfare work in India is still considerably below the standards set up in other countries, it has come to stay and is bound to make rapid progress in the years to come, especially when the Indian republic is wedded to the ideal of a Welfare State and a socialist pattern of the society.

DEFINITION:
According to a report of the International Labour Organization, “Workers welfare should be understood as such services, facilities and amenities which may be established in the vicinity of an undertaking to enable the persons employed in them to perform their work in healthy, congenial to good health and high morale”. Employee welfare is a comprehensive term including various services, benefits and facilities offered to employees & by the employers. Welfare includes anything that is done for the comfort and improvement of employees and is provided over and above the wages. 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.

The very logic behind providing welfare schemes is to create efficient, healthy, loyal and satisfied labor force for the organization. The purpose of providing such facilities is to make their work life better and also to raise their standard of living.

PURPOSE:
Labour welfare work thus serves the following purposes: ? ? ? ? ? Enables workers to have a richer and more satisfying life. Raises the standard of living of the workers by indirectly reducing the burden on their pocket. Absorbs the shocks injected by industrialization and urbanization on workers Promotes a sense of belonging among workers, preventing them from resorting to unhealthy practices like absenteeism, labour turnover, strike etc. To bring about the development of the whole personality of the workers to make a better workforce. The important benefits of welfare measures can be summarized as follows: ? They provide better physical and mental health to workers and thus promote a healthy work environment. ? Facilities like housing schemes, medical benefits, and education and recreation facilities for workers’ families help in raising their standards of living. This makes workers to pay more attention towards work and thus increases their productivity. ? Employers get stable labor force by providing welfare facilities. Workers take active interest in their jobs and work with a feeling of involvement and participation. ?
