Every company provides some or other facilities to its employees. Some common facilities provided by the companies to their employees are tea-coffee, snacks, subsidized meals, mobile phone expenses, transportation, canteen, medical aid, medi-claim (health insurance), insurance etc.
The purpose of the facilities must be
- To provide pleasant and convenient work environment to the employees
- To motivate the employees
- To save their time
- To let them focus on work rather than worrying about other things
- To encourage social interaction of employees within the company
Guidelines for Employee Welfare Facilities
- We must provide facilities which align with our employees’ requirements, our values, cost structure and industry norms and practices.
- Every facility is good for the employees. It is a good motivation for employee retention. It adds positively to our employer brand. Employees stay longer at companies which provide them with many facilities.
- In today’s times, many new age companies make a range of innovative services and facilities available to their employees which were not imaginable earlier. That may be extreme, but common facilities like a clean and conductive workplace, clean drinking water, toilets etc. are basic necessities which are a must for attracting good employees. If we can’t provide decent working conditions to employees, we won’t get quality manpower.
- Right employee welfare activities improve the physical and mental health of the employees. That increases productivity.
- Every facility costs money, so we must budget properly before deciding to provide it.
We must remember that any facility once given can’t be taken back painlessly. It is a sort of a one-way street. Starting a facility may be in our hands, but stopping it may not remain in our hands. So, we must be very careful before starting any new facility
