Employee Welfare Practices and Job Satisfaction among Employees in Bengaluru: An Empirical Study

Employee welfare is an important component of HRM and can significantly influence employee job satisfaction. This study examines welfare practices among employees in Bengaluru, focusing on health and safety, financial benefits, workplace facilities, leave and recreational facilities and employee support services. The findings indicate positive relationships between welfare practices and job satisfaction, with workplace facilities emerging as the strongest factor. The study suggests that organisations should strengthen employee-centred welfare practices to improve workplace satisfaction, employee well-being and organisational effectiveness.
