A Systematic Literature Review and Meta Analysis of Welfare and Security Measures in the Manufacturing Industries

Abstract

The efforts made by the employer for the good life worth of its employees are referred to as employee welfare. The term "employee welfare" refers to any action taken for the benefit of the workers' comfort, intellectual development, social advancement, or other needs that are not strictly necessary to the operation of the business. To retain employees' motivation levels at a high enough level, businesses offer wellness facilities. Intra-mural and Extra-Mural employee wellbeing programmes can be divided into two groups. The Intra-Mural programmes are those programmes that an organisation must offer in order to comply with the rules controlling the health and safety of its employees. Different organisations and industries have different Extra-Mural initiatives. Employee welfare's primary goal is to improve employees' quality of life, keep them happy, and keep them engaged in their work. The manufacturers’ (employer's) generosity, wisdom, and altruistic sentiments are what lead to extra-mural rewards. Within different geographical locations of the Pharma and Food, Beverage, tobacco companies in Madhya Pradesh in India (central India), this research presents an in-depth analysis of both intra- and extra-mural factors and their effects, under the framework of Government’s legal directives, on employee satisfaction. Additionally, attention was given to layoff benefits and the organization's regular employees’ access to social programmes.
