ABSTRACT
This report investigates the correlation between employee welfare initiatives and workplace
satisfaction and well-being at ISS Facility Services India Limited. Through an analysis of
demographic data, including gender, age, marital status, experience, and education, as well as
employee perceptions of various aspects of their employment, such as working environment,
job tenure, welfare benefits, and promotion policies, key findings were identified. The
workforce was found to be predominantly young, educated, and single, with a high turnover
rate. While employees expressed overall satisfaction with certain aspects of their workplace,
such as ventilation, cleanliness, safety measures, and security, there were areas of mixed
satisfaction, including working hours and promotion policies. Despite this, the company's
provision of welfare benefits, including bonuses, vehicle allowances, insurance coverage, and
educational facilities, was generally well-received. The analysis revealed a significant
relationship between welfare benefits and employee satisfaction levels. Based on these findings,
recommendations were made for ISS Facility Services India Limited to address areas of
dissatisfaction, establish regular feedback mechanisms, invest in employee development,
enhance communication channels, and continuously improve welfare initiatives. By prioritizing
employee welfare and addressing areas of concern, the company can foster a positive work
environment, increase employee satisfaction, and contribute to overall organizational success.

CHAPTER - I
INTRODUCTION
This report was made as a part of a study conducted at the ISS Facility Services India Pvt.
Ltd, Chennai.
This study focuses primarily on the understanding of the organizational structure of the
organization from a management point of view. It also seeks to apply the theory of management
to practical, real-world situations and draw conclusions.
Commercial, industrial, healthcare, educational, and public sectors are just a few of the
industries in which ISS Facility Services operates. The company provides a wide range of
solutions to assist companies and organizations in increasing operational effectiveness and
creating a welcoming atmosphere for both their staff and clients.

Employee welfare is a crucial aspect of any organization's human resource management
strategy. It encompasses various initiatives and measures aimed at enhancing the well-being
and satisfaction of employees within the workplace. ISS Facility Services India Limited, being
a prominent player in the facility services industry, undoubtedly places significant emphasis on
employee welfare. This project aims to conduct a comprehensive study on the employee welfare
measures implemented by ISS Facility Services India Limited, evaluating their effectiveness,
impact on employee satisfaction, and areas for potential improvement.
Facilities management can be defined as the tools and services that support the
functionality, safety, and sustainability of buildings, grounds, infrastructure, and real estate.
These typesof facilities management. There are two basic areas: Hard Facilities Management
(Hard FM) and Soft Facilities Management (Soft FM).
• Hard FM deals with physical assets such as plumbing, wiring, elevators, and heating
and cooling.
1.1.1 Figure represents the hard & soft facilities management services
2
Superior facilities management will contribute to your organization’s bottom line,
impacting the short- and long-term value of property, buildings, and equipment.
• Manage risks including those to facilities, employees, suppliers, and business reputation.
• Guarantee compliance.
• Leverage security.
3
➢ Facility managers help support how each organization works toward social goals,
including responsible and ethical investing, sustainability, and overall impact, instead
of only focusing on the bottom line.
➢ Facility Management (FM) focuses on how these facilities are being managed. It can
be defined as a management discipline that ensures effective and efficient support
services for different organizations. It is a function within an organization that integrates
people, processes, place, and technology within the existing environment and focuses
on improving the productivity of the organization and the quality of people’s lives.
➢ Within facility management, there are different types of roles. The two main types are
the ‘in-the-field’ roles for which relatively low education is required, but a good level
of technical training.
➢ Then there are the ‘bird’s eye’ roles, which imply coordinating and overseeing services
and require a college degree together with additional certifications or extensive
experience in the field of FM. Within every category of FM, there’s an ‘in-the-field’
role and a more supervising role. The categories are:
CLEANING
Maintenance of a facility or property is important for its value and the face of the
organization and its employees. Cleaning, therefore, is one of the main categories of facility
management. This category is all about maintaining a clean environment, the disposal of trash,
plumbing, and promoting a healthy work environment. Sometimes services are outsourced to
other companies, such as cleaning the windows.
The ‘in-the-field’ role would be the direct maintenance of the facility or property. An
overseeing role within this category is about coordinating these services to make the cleaning
services as efficient and effective as possible. Also working together with the management of
other departments to establish procedures that would minimize excess work is a facility
manager’s task.
4
HARDWARE INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
The second category is about the inspection and maintenance of any form of hardware
within a building. This includes monitoring smoke detectors and ACs in each office, but also
the maintenance of a whole elevator system.
Also in this category, there will be ‘in-the-field’ facility workers performing the
inspections and repairs. A facility manager’s role in this is also to make sure that every inspection
and repair is done on time and to confirm with a vendor. The purpose of this form of
maintenance is to increase the functional life of the hardware and in the end, reduce additional
costs to theorganization.
This category focuses on the environment, health, and safety of the people. This is done
by creating and maintaining sustainable, environmentally friendly workspaces where safe and
healthyworking circumstances are being promoted. An example could be, making sure that
there is sufficient clean air quality for the employees and that there’s a limited carbon footprint
comingfrom the facility.
Facility workers in this category are responsible for keeping track of environmental
regulationson a local and governmental level. They have to make sure that the organization
meets all the regulations. For an organization, this could also reduce the risk of public scandals,
lawsuits, oreven a shot down due to violations of the regulations.
Space management and migration involve efficiently allocating and moving data to
optimize storage use. In organizations frequently must deal with change. This could mean that
an organization has to expand or migrate to another location, due to a rise or fall in the number
of employees.
5
A reason could be because of a busy or less busy season for the organization. Without
concise planning and support in the form of Computer Aided Facility Management software,
expanding or relocating can be an expensive activity. A facility manager working in this field
of discipline should be able to make these changes go smoothly and at the same time stickto
regulations.
SECURITY SERVICES
TRANSPORTATION
For larger organizations dealing with transportation, facility managers are expected to help
with the planning and implementation of transportation solutions. This can be about the
transportation of employees within the facility, such as at an airport, or the transportation of
equipment to its planned location.
FIRE SAFETY
Fire safety involves all the facilities that are related to fire prevention. Within this
category, facility managers are expected to act in case of a fire. They help to contain and put
out the fireand help people in the building to move to safety. Fire safety involves the planning
of escape routes, making sure that on each floor there’s a fire warden, making sure that smoke
detectorsand fire extinguishers are working, keeping the maps up to date, and making sure that
the fire escape doors are functioning. The facility manager is responsible for the plans and
escape routes, regular inspection of the supplies, training of staff, and most importantly,
alertness.
6
OPERATIONAL
For a school and offices to operate properly organization and coordination are required.
This involves scheduling conference rooms, making sure that coffee machines are working, and
making sure that food deliveries are received on time. Often there’s also a help desk that needs
to be managed. A help desk to receive, prioritize, and resolve issues. Issues such as problems
with software or mechanical issues, such as a non-working copy machine or a burnt-out light.
The facility manager’s task is to coordinate these services to ensure efficiency and productivity.
BUSINESS CONTINUITY
One of the most valuable fields within facility management is business continuity. This
involves planning for reliable services that prevent a business from losing hours over
malfunctions within the organization.
This can be a power outage, migrating to a new system, no access to the server and natural
disasters such as an earthquake can also damage a business. Facility managers can come up
with a plan B for the business to keep running even when a problem might disturb business
continuity.
In April 2017, the International Organization for Standardization published the ISO
41011:2017 standard for facility management, defining it as the "organizational function which
integrates people, place, and process within the built environment to improve the quality of life
7
of people and the productivity of the core business."] The ISO definition was formally adopted
by BIFM in August 2017.
A management system standard for facilities management has also been developed by ISO
andpublished as ISO 41001:2018.
• people and organization, such as catering, cleaning, ICT, HR, accounting, marketing,
and hospitality.
Its two broad areas of operation are commonly referred to as "hard FM" and "soft FM".
The first refers to the physically built environment with a focus on workspace and building
infrastructure. The second covers the people and the organization and is related to work
psychology and occupational physiology.
According to the IFMA: "FM is the practice of coordinating the physical workplace with
the people and work of the organization. It integrates the principles of business administration,
architecture, and the behavioral and engineering sciences.
The Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management, formerly the British Institute
of Facilities Management, adopted the European definition and through its accredited
qualification framework offers a career path curriculum ranging from school leaver level through
to master's degree level that is aligned with the European Qualifications framework.
FM may also cover activities other than business services: these are referred to as non-
corefunctions and vary from one business sector to another. FM is also subject to continuous
innovation and development, under pressure to reduce costs and to add value to the core
business of public or private sector client organizations.

12
1.2.5 Figure represents the Goal of ISS
To attract, motivate and retain good employees, organizations need to define what
employees want from employment relationships. An employee needs is to consider Total
Reward which is everything an employee perceives as resulting from working for the company.
Many studies contend that benefits are the most useful means to attract, motivate, and retain
employees.
Companies offering more voluntary benefits have a better chance of attracting qualified
people and retaining them. On the other hand, retention is a key challenge in firms lacking such
13
welfare benefits and where work tends to get routine and there is no opportunity for personal
growth and development.
The most common reason that employee turnover takes place includes monotonous work
schedule, stress at the workplace, lack of career growth, training and development
opportunities, etc but if employers provide various welfare facilities regarding health, safety,
training, and development, then, there will be employee satisfaction and retention in an
organization
I. PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
To determine the awareness and level of satisfaction of the employees towards the welfare
measures, working conditions, and social security schemes provided by the organization to the
employees.
• The present study has been undertaken to determine the effectiveness of Employee
Welfare measures.
• To determine the practical difficulties involved in welfare measures that can be
evaluated through this study.
• The study can be used to bring out the solution for the problem faced by the employees
availing the welfare measures.
• This study will also help the management to reduce job-related problems.
14
• To increase motivational activities and develop the employees in such a way that their
career goals are achieved.
• This is an opportunity for the employees to give their feedback which aids the
management will making some alterations in the future welfare and other further
facilities.
1. Limited Generalization: Findings may only apply to the studied organization, not others,
due to industry, size, and culture differences.
3. Time Constraints: Limited time may impact research depth and breadth.
4. Response Bias: Employees may not provide honest feedback due to fear or confidentiality
concerns.
5. Changing Dynamics: Organizational changes post-study may affect the findings' relevance.
7. Limited Depth: The study may not fully explore aspects like team dynamics or management
styles.
8. Single Methodology: Using only one method may limit data richness.
These acknowledge study limitations for more realistic findings and recommendations.

CHAPTER – II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
EMPLOYEE WELFARE:
DEFINITION:
Employee welfare refers to the efforts made by an organization to enhance the physical,
mental, and emotional well-being of its employees. It includes providing various benefits,
facilities, and services aimed at improving the quality of work life and promoting a positive
work environment.
1. Healthcare Benefits: Providing health insurance coverage, wellness programs, and access
to medical facilities.
2. Work-Life Balance Initiatives: Offering flexible work arrangements, parental leave, and
childcare support.
3. Financial Benefits: Offering competitive salaries, bonuses, retirement plans, and financial
counselling services.
6. Safety Measures: Ensuring a safe working environment through occupational health and
safety measures.
16
BENEFITS OF EMPLOYEE WELFARE:
1. Improved Employee Morale: Employees feel valued and cared for, leading to higher job
satisfaction and morale.
2. Increased Productivity: Healthy and happy employees are more productive and motivated
to perform well.
3. Enhanced Retention: Employees are more likely to stay with an organization that prioritizes
their well-being, reducing turnover rates.
4. Attracting Talent: Competitive welfare packages can attract top talent to the organization.
5. Positive Company Image: Organizations known for prioritizing employee welfare can
enhance their reputation as an employer of choice.
1. Cost: Providing comprehensive welfare benefits can be expensive for the organization,
especially for small businesses with limited budgets.
2. Administrative Burden: Managing various welfare programs and ensuring compliance with
regulations can be administratively complex.
4. Equity Issues: Not all employees may benefit equally from welfare programs, leading to
feelings of resentment or unfairness.
5. Overlapping Programs: Inefficiencies may arise if there are multiple overlapping welfare
programs within the organization, leading to redundancy or confusion.
Overall, while employee welfare initiatives offer numerous benefits for both employees
and organizations, careful planning and management are required to mitigate potential
disadvantages and ensure the effectiveness of these programs.
17
EMPLOYEE WELFARE MEASURE IN INDIA
These measures are obligatory and are necessary to be provided by Industry without
which the sector has no right to exist. They must specify despite the size of the industry. It
measures the following:
1. Water facilities: A healthy and hygienic water supply for drinking should be provided at the
workplace.
4. First aid box: It should be made available to each worker, in case minor accident, the
preliminary treatment can be given to employees.
6. Spittoons: In each workplace, as in supply centers, and authority buildings, spittoons should
be kept in proper places they must be maintained in a sterilized condition.
7. Lighting: Adequate and appropriate lighting must be provided at the workplace so that
employees can work safely and comfortably.
These welfare measures are not in compliance with the law, and they are voluntary. These
measures vary from one business to another& from one industry to another industry. It includes
the following:
4. Harassment policy: The policy helps to protect the employees from any kind of harassment
in the organization.
The literature review has been split into the following areas, to facilitate easy reading and
understanding:
1."Employee welfare measures and its impact on job satisfaction of employees: A study
on cement industries in Tamil Nadu, India" by Dr. A. Balakrishnan and Dr. R. Karthikeyan
(Published in the International Journal of Commerce and Management Research, 2016): This
study explores the relationship between employee welfare measures and job satisfaction
specifically in the context of the cement industry in Tamil Nadu.
2. "Employee welfare practices in select Indian banks" by Dr. Rajesh Kumar Jena and Dr.
Manas Ranjan Patel (Published in the Journal of Management Research, 2017): This study
19
investigates the welfare practices implemented by Indian banks and their impact on employee
satisfaction.
4. "Impact of employee welfare facilities on job satisfaction" by M. Devi and Dr. N. Kavitha
(Published in the International Journal of Business and Administration Research Review, 2019):
This study examines the effect of welfare facilities on job satisfaction among employees in
various industries across India.
1. "The relationship between employee welfare and job satisfaction in the UK" by Dr. Sarah
Johnson (Published in the Journal of Business Psychology, 2015): This study explores the
connection between employee welfare initiatives and job satisfaction levels in the UK.
2. "Employee welfare and job satisfaction: A comparative study between the USA and
Europe" by Dr. John Smith (Published in the International Journal of Human Resource
Management, 2016): This research compares employee welfare practices and their impact on
job satisfaction across different regions in the USA and Europe.
21
Qualitative Analysis: While the report includes quantitative data, qualitative insights from
interviews or focus groups could offer a richer context and uncover underlying reasons behind
employee perceptions and satisfaction levels.
Impact Assessment: Conducting an analysis to assess the impact of specific welfare initiatives
or organizational policies on employee satisfaction and performance could help identify
effective strategies for enhancing employee welfare and organizational outcomes.
2. Employee Retention and Engagement: Satisfied employees are more likely to be engaged
and committed to their work, leading to higher retention rates and improved organizational
outcomes. By identifying factors that contribute to employee satisfaction, the organization can
implement strategies to retain talent and foster a positive work environment.
4. Legal and Ethical Obligations: Ensuring employee welfare and satisfaction is not only a
moral imperative but also a legal requirement. By conducting research on employee satisfaction
22
and perceptions of welfare benefits, the organization demonstrates its commitment to fulfilling
legal and ethical obligations towards its workforce.
In summary, conducting further research to address the identified gaps and rationale can
provide valuable insights for organizational leaders to enhance employee welfare, satisfaction,
and overall organizational performance.
Employee welfare measures are integral to the functioning of industrial systems, given
the significant role employees play in organizational growth. Various HR elements govern an
organization, with employee welfare being a crucial factor in enhancing their quality of life.
When employees are content with the provisions offered by the organization, productivity tends
to rise. This study aims to explore employees' perceptions of different dimensions of welfare
measures provided to them.
Human resources constitute the backbone of any organization, and it falls upon
management to ensure the welfare of employees. Satisfaction with welfare measures correlates
with increased production. In today's context, employees are vital contributors to organizational
development. Thus, this research seeks to assess employee satisfaction levels regarding welfare
measures.

➢ Primary data
➢ Secondary data
26
METHODS USED:
Both primary and secondary data collection methods were utilized in the project.
➢ PRIMARY DATA:
• Definition: Data collected for the first time through personal experiences or
evidence.
• Collection Method: Conducted through a "Questionnaire."
• Purpose: Comparative study of employee welfare in the company.
• Data Collection: Directly from respondents using questionnaires.
➢ SECONDARY DATA:
• Definition: Data collected from existing sources such as reference books, the
Internet, etc.
PRESENTATION OF DATA:
The sampling method used by the researchers in the research is the “Convenient
Sampling Method” in order to suit time constraints for both the researcher and respondents.
CONVENIENT SAMPLING:
27
SAMPLING UNITS:
Out of 70+ employees, 46 employees of ISS Facilities Services India Private Limited are
taken as the sample unit of the study.
SAMPLING SIZE:
The sample size consists of 46 employees at ISS Facilities Services India Private Limited.
RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS:
Percentage Analysis and the Chi-square method are used as the statistical tool and that
method is used for analyzing the data.
PERCENTAGE ANALYSIS:
Percentage analysis is a useful tool for assessing various aspects of employee welfare for
a project report. It involves the calculation of percentages to compare different data points or
trends within the context of employee welfare initiatives. Common methods include calculating
the percentage of employees participating in welfare programs, the percentage of budget
allocated to different welfare activities, and the percentage change in employee satisfaction
levels before and after implementing welfare measures. This analysis helps in identifying areas
of improvement, evaluating the effectiveness of existing welfare programs, and making data-
driven decisions to enhance overall employee well-being.
28
The formula of Percentage Analysis is:
Number of Respondents
Percentage Analysis = ×100
Total Number of Employees
CHI-SQUARE:
The chi-square test can be utilized to analyze the association between different variables
related to employee welfare initiatives. This statistical test helps in determining whether there
is a significant relationship or dependency between categorical variables. The Researcher could
use the chi-square test to examine the relationship between employees' job satisfaction levels
and their participation in welfare programs or to assess if there is a significant difference in the
perception of welfare benefits among employees from different departments. By applying the
chi-square test, the researcher can gain insights into the effectiveness of welfare measures and
identify areas for improvement to enhance overall employee satisfaction and well-being.
