GENERAL INTRODUCTION
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 which enables the workers to have a richer and more satisfying life. I have undergone a research on hotel industries. In the view of K.K. Chaudhuri, in his Human Resources: A Relook to the Workplace, states that HR policies are being made flexible. From leaves to compensations, perks to office facilities, many companies are willing to customize policies to suit different employee segments. The older employees want social security benefits, younger employees want cash in hand because they cant think of sticking to a company for many years and retire from the same company. Therefore one jacket fits all will not be right to motivate the talents and retain them.
Conventions and Recommendations of ILO (1949) sets forth a fundamental principle at its 26 th conference held in Philadelphia recommended some of the measures in the area of welfare measures which includes adequate protection for life and health of workers in all occupations, provision for child welfare and maternity protection, provision of
adequate nutrition, housing and facilities for recreation and culture, the assurance of equality of educational and vocational opportunity etc.

CONCLUSION
The welfare schemes are important aspects in every organization which plays a very important role and such welfare schemes effectively improve the performance of the employees and workers and help the company in capturing the good marketing in present day competition. Labour welfare awareness meetings and presentation must carry out periodically, this in turn helps to improve the labour satisfaction and the will show in the improvements of productivity. Labour welfare is very important to run the company successfully so the company should follow the welfare activities regularly to improve the labour satisfaction in their working environment. Thus from this study it found that though the company has provided various welfare measures, some of them seems to be not useful to the workers. The company has to get constant feedback from the workers in regard of the welfare activities provided to them. It is found that all the basic needs of the workers are met. Though their basic needs are met various welfare measures or schemes can be provided that can further motivate the employees, which can benefit them and also the organization in terms of increased efficiency and productivity.
