Abstract: This study aims to estimate the level of satisfaction among employees with respect to various welfare measures provided by their employer. Welfare measures include both statutory (medical aid, insurance, provident fund, safety, basic facilities) and non-statutory benefits (canteen/rest facilities, recreational facilities, transport/housing support, family welfare, educational/loan support, etc.). Using a structured questionnaire, data were collected from a sample of 60 employees working in a mid-size organization. The findings reveal that while statutory welfare facilities are generally perceived as satisfactory by a majority, non-statutory welfare measures receive mixed ratings — many employees express moderate or low satisfaction. A moderate positive correlation is observed between the overall availability of welfare measures and employee satisfaction, indicating that welfare provisions significantly contribute to job satisfaction. The study concludes with recommendations for improving non-statutory welfare measures to enhance overall employee satisfaction and organizational commitment.
