Introduction

An attractive employer-sponsored benefits program makes it easier for

organizations to retain and attract great employees. According to Job

Satisfaction survey report, employee benefits are one of the most

important job satisfaction factors for employees.

Leave and other employee benefits are important tools in the retention

efforts for the current and future workforce.

Leave benefits encompass paid and unpaid time off from the workplace

for a variety of activities ranging from vacation and sick leave to

bereavement leave and jury duty. Paid leave benefits provide employees

with the opportunity to recharge and deal with nonwork-related issues;

however, their associated costs are considerable. According to the most

recent Chamber of Commerce Employee Benefits Study, employer costs

associated with paid leave are ranked behind only employer benefits

costs for medical and retirement benefits. Even with the high cost of

paid leave, this benefit is one of the most frequently offered to

employees.

Today’s organizations are facing the challenge of designing competitive

and attractive paid leave programs for their employees while managing

the related costs and administration requirements associated with

operations of these programs, especially in the current economic climate.

Company developed this report to provide insight into what

organizations offer in the area of paid time off. The report examines

aspects of paid time off plans, vacation leave, sick leave, personal days,

holidays and bereavement leave. It also presents data from a recent poll

on unscheduled time off in the workplace.

Objective of study: Leave Policies

A leave of absence is time allowed away from work, generally

requested by an employee, to cover unusual circumstances

occurring in the employee’s life. The leave of absence is used

when the employee’s time off from work is not covered under

an employer’s existing benefits such as sick leave, paid

vacation, paid holidays, and paid time off.

PURPOSE OF LEAVE:

Leave is granted to employees with the good intention of providing rest, recuperation of health and for

fulfilling social obligations. This provides for a healthy and efficient staff for the company.

LEAVE YEAR AND APPLICABILITY:

Leave is not a matter of right.

Sanctioning of leave is at Management discretion based on exigencies of business or seriousness

of the case.

Eligible leave is credited to the employees on the 1st of January every year.

The different types of leaves given under the policy are:

The Leave policy is applicable for all permanent staff of the company and as well as

contract workers.

Employees who are appointed during the course of the year shall be entitled to the above leaves

on pro-rate basis.

Employees whose date of joining service falls between 1st to the 15th of a month are

entitled to get the leave credit for that month.

Employees whose date of joining service falls between 16th to the end of the month

are not entitled for the leave credit for that month.

If an employee is relieved on any day between 1st to 15th of a month, then he / she is not

Finding

A. From the above trend it can be concluded that the HR

department have very good leave policies and employees are

satisfied with flexible leave policies

Also HR department effectively with employees in an

organization and good communication between manager and

HR dept.

B. From the above trend it was found that both monetary as well

as non monetary benefits are prevalent in the company. The

employees are motivated with the company initiatives and both

monetary as well as non monetary incentives are important to

them.

21

Analysis

From the above findings, we can say that the company shares a

very healthy relationship with its employees and helps them

grow as individuals. Thus, it proves that the employee

expectations are met by the management.

The relevant questionnaire reveals the attitude of employees

towards the management is good and the level of satisfaction

among the employees which is very high.

By the very nature of the industry, employee engagement

activities happen on a large scale. This could be due to the kind

of employees a service industry would usually hire. Employee

engagement activities:

There are several employee engagement activities that are

carried out in order to keep the employees motivated. The

company operates for 5 days a week and alternate Saturdays are

working. On the working Saturday they have various

engagement activities planned.

Whereas I recognize how critical extrinsic motivation is–we all

need to be rewarded fairly for the job that we do-in my

experience the most effective factors relating to employee

motivation are related to intrinsic motivation:

1. Empowerment

2. Growth

22

3. Inclusion

4. Purpose

5. Trust

Accuracy of information is also very necessary in this industry

as the data contains of patient’s medical information. Hence the

employees are reviewed on a continuous basis. The best

performer or the person who exceeds the targets is rewarded too.

Ways to Motivate People

Training

Coaching

Task assignments

Rewards contingent on good performance

Valued rewards availably

23

Recommendations

In My opinion

Leave policies are good and that are beneficial for

employee engagement.

Should Hire some senior employee which will be helpful

for flow of growth

24

Conclusion

My experience in this company

What are the main reasons for people to consider long

careers in this organization? Good work environment, transparency

What are the main reasons because of which employees

leave the organization? Salary constraints, better opportunities.

What does the company do to create a work environment

which ensures employees are more productive and

motivated? Directi encourages employees to be what they are and be

comfortable while working. One of the most motivating factors

is casual wear.
