Mr. Azim Permji Chairman of Wipro Technologies; Richest Indian for the past several years; Honored Azim Permji is Chairman of Wipro Technologies, one of the largest software companies in India. He is an icon among Indian businessmen and his success story is a source of inspiration to a number of entrepreneurs.

Born on July 24, 1945, Azim Hashim Permji was studying Electrical Engineering from Stanford University, USA when due to the sudden demise of his father, he was called upon to handle the family business. Azim Permji took over the reins of family business in 1966 at the age of 21.

At the first annual general meeting of the company attended by Azim Permji, a shareholder doubted Premji's ability to handle business at such a young age and publicly advised him to sell his shareholding and give it to a more mature management. This spurred Azim Permji and made him all the more determined to make Wipro a success story. And the rest is history.

When Azim Permji occupied the hot seat, Wipro dealt in hydrogenated cooking fats and later

diversified to bakery fats, ethnic ingredient based toiletries, hair care soaps, baby toiletries, lighting products and hydraulic cylinders. Thereafter Permji made a focused shift from soaps to software.

Under Azim Premji's leadership Wipro has metamorphosed from a Rs.70 million company in hydrogenated cooking fats to a pioneer in providing integrated business, technology and process solutions on a global delivery platform. Today, Wipro Technologies is the largest independent Azim Permji has several achievements to his credit. In 2000, Asia week magazine, voted Permji among the 20 most powerful men in the world. Azim Permji was among the 50 richest people in the world from 2001 to 2003 listed by Forbes. In April 2004, Times Magazine rated him among the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine. He is also the richest Indian for the past several years. In 2005, Government of India honored Azim Permji with Padma Bhushan.

Wipro Limited (Systems &

Technology division) has been ranked by GREENPEACE in their Guide to Greener Electronics as the No. 1 Green IT Brand in India, and amongst the top four in the world among the Global Green Brands From Quality to Business Excellence As the worlds first SEI CMM Level 5 company, Wipro endeavors to deliver reliability and perfection to customers by maintaining high standards in service offerings and products, as well as internal processes and people management. We believe that business success and market leadership comes through innovation and a culture of excellence driven by our total quality management system and our business excellence model, the Wipro Way. Wipros Quality Management System Wipros customers trust the strength of the quality processes that have always assured them of timely, defect-free delivery of products and services. The Quality Management System (QMS), called Veloci-Q, is a consolidation of experiences and best practices that are also aligned to standard quality models and certification. This is dynamic, and also all encompassing, meeting specific technology and domain specific requirements with ease. The fact that Wipro has consistently been assessed and certified on critical quality models, generic and domain specific, bears testimony to the goodness of the QMS. Wipros Quality Journey - a series of firsts In line with Wipros belief in constant innovation, over the years, Wipro has been a pioneer in adopting and adapting several improvement methodologies like Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, etc. to further the efficiency of its processes. Wipro was the first to adopt Six Sigma in IT delivery, way back in 1998; Lean methodology was adopted from the world-class Toyota Production System for improving the efficiency of the delivery engine; again a first in the industry, in the year 2005. Wipro has become extremely proficient in the application of these methodologies for internal processes as well as in our customers organizations.

Towards Business Excellence

To enhance the value and experience that customers derive from Wipro, and achieve operational excellence internally, Wipro rolled out its proprietary Business Excellence Framework called the Wipro Way in 2006. This leverages the strong process driven culture of Wipro, brings in an outward-in transformation and a culture of service excellence. In keeping with our culture of pioneering best practices and methodologies drawn from various industries, Wipro adopted a unique, structured approach and framework to service excellence that has proven its effectiveness in the service sector. Using this framework, Wipro now offers its key customers value adds, and a steadily improving level of experience; the improvement in customer satisfaction measured through an independent, third party agency, where there has been a yearon-year improvement of over 1,700 basis points is a clear indicator of the success of this structure.

The Business Excellence Framework has also helped Wipro and its customers get more from its various process excellence methodologies. From Agile to Lean to Six Sigma, they are all now closely aligned to the daily work management practices, and are integrated into the QMS. This elevates the level of quality assurance delivered through our processes, to our customers. Novel approaches adopted from the Japanese manufacturing sector, like the five day, intense Kaizen events, that focus on improve by two or reduce by half are just another example of Wipros continued quest for excellence. Further, widespread, organization-wide training, and a consistent project approach that solves key problems using the most appropriate methods, has helped Wipro build a culture of excellence.This is amply illustrated by the following: Winner for Best Project Achievement in Customer Experience at The Global Six Sigma & Business Improvement Award 2009 at Orlando Finalists for the Process Excellence Awards at International Quality & Productivity Center, UK, 2009 Over 5,600 Six Sigma projects completed till date, engaging over 10,000 people as Green Belts, Black Belts and Master Black Belts

More than 150 practitioners of Lean have facilitated over 1,500 projects in Wipro. These projects have employed Lean principles, and demonstrated a significant upside on productivity and capability to handle requirements volatility To address complex development needs of customers, in an iterative manner, Wipro has adopted the agile methodology; so far, over 100 Agile projects have been executed successfully in Wipro

Assuring Outcome Each business is unique, and quality needs to address these unique needs. Customer expectations have evolved from where it was, to looking for a partner who can manage and assure outcomes. A look at some of our innovative approaches to enhance quality, as experienced by customers across our various groups makes it clear that Wipro has been successful in achieving this. Over the years Wipro has moved from managing processes to managing outcomes for the customers, and the quality function has closely worked to enable this successfully. Wipro has adopted ITIL to assure services delivery in the managed services space. Benchmarking the baseline with Gartner has helped us identify best in class performance, the gaps, and work on bridging the same.Further, by utilizing tools like the SLA prediction tool that has been developed internally Wipro and the customer can predict and plan for service levels more accurately. Use of SLA governance tools allows us to provide the customer online and real time visibility into actual performance, and also significantly reduce the costs associated with reporting. In the BPO space, Wipros Process Labs simulate customer environment, to help deliver best-inclass performance. A structured four step standardization approach helps standardize and automate the way we work to deliver enhanced and consistent customer experience. Innovation Ideas that change the world Change has always been driven by innovation at Wipro. We have sustained this innovative spirit in every endeavor of ours. Over the years we have raised the bar in delivering solutions that make a difference in the technology landscape while leading to enhanced value for our customers. Our innovation is driven by strong Research and Development (R&D) talent who can deliver key solutions. The Global Command Center that envisions solutions and services for our clients.

Spirit of Wipro

Intensity to win Make customers successful. Team, Innovate, Excel.

This is the desire to stretch, to achieve that which seems beyond our grasp. This is aiming for maximum. This is the ardor to do our best, the hunger to be the best. This is the devotion to challenging our limits, it is about realizing our potential, and about expanding our potential. It is not about winning at all costs. It is not about winning every time. It is not about winning at the expense of others. It is about working together to create synergy. It is realizing that I win when my team wins; my team wins when Wipro wins; and Wipro wins when its customers win, when its stakeholders win. It is about innovating all the time. It is a continuous Endeavour to do better than last time. It is the Spirit of fortitude, the Spirit of never letting go ever.

Act with Sensitivity Respect for the individual. Thoughtful and responsible.

At its highest vision, respect for the individual is unqualified. The core of this sensitivity lies in understanding that every being, however different, is equal. The spirit of democracy

underlies our notion of sensitivity we believe in a society where each citizen sees the ethic of equity, the essentiality of diversity, the ethos of justice, and is thus driven to social action. It is seeing each of us is inextricably embedded in the same social fabric. The other source of respect is trust. Trusting that every individual is driven by learning, that each individual would like to grow, that every individual strives for a meaningful life and is intrinsically driven to do his/her best. Therefore, true respect means creating conditions in which every individual grows to realize his/her promise and potential. We are responsible for, and have an obligation to live in harmony with, our ecological environment. We should actively act to preserve nature, and refrain from any action that harms ecology. Thus, when I act with thoughtfulness, act responsibly, act with empathy I act with sensitivity.

Unyielding Integrity Delivering on commitments. Honesty and fairness in action.

Integrity is a commitment to searching for and acting on the truth. Truth is a word with many manifestations it means keeping ones word; it also means understanding and realising ones highest vision of oneself. On integrity, there will be no compromise we will always act to establish the foremost standards of honesty and fairness. Integrity is a beacon. It is what guides us, gives us direction it is not a straitjacketing laundry list of dos and donts. Integrity is being ethical beyond doubt. It is living the law of the land in spirit. It is what will give us the confidence to stand up to any scrutiny. I am the litmus test of my integrity. For integrity is the manifestation of conscience.

Human Resource Planning: Human Resource Planning (HRP) is the process by which an organization ensures The right number and kind of people, at the right place, at right time, capable of Effectively completing those tasks that will help the organization achieve its overall Objectives. HRP facilitates the realization of the companys objectives by providing the Right type and the right number of personnel.

Recruitment Process The management, as a gesture of goodwill to help the loyal workmen agreed to provide employment to a son of a workman who died while in service, which was later Extended even to a workman who retires from service. Initially, there was no stipulation of age and qualification for a new recruit and in due course both qualification and age have been stipulated. The qualification required is PUC I ITI and the age limit are 25years. The benefit by the management has both advantages and disadvantages. Advantages being goodwill to the management that is intangible and succession of loyalty factor. The disadvantage is induction of workmen from different areas and culture is not possible. It should be mentioned here that the advantages weighs more than disadvantages .A workman is imparted 9 months of Training and on successful completion he will be absorbed as a workman.

Sources of recruitment

Internal Sources: Many organizations try and identify employees from within the organization to be groomed to take on higher responsibilities. Internal recruiting is beneficial, as workers know the firm culture; managers already know the workers and internal advancement can motivate the employees. Job Postings Employee referrals Temporary worker pools Previous employees

External Sources The company require workemen for existing plant as there is a shortage of manpower , so to meet the demands occurring as a result of business growth and to seek fresh ideas, the managers look outside the firm for people who have not worked at the firm before.

The External sources are. Walk-ins Employment Agencies Campus Visits

Recruitment Process 1. The HR Manager informs the HR- Recruitment team about the requirement, the number of positions available and the necessary skills. 2. A proper requisition sheet is made and the key skills and the personal characteristics desired in the person are mentioned in it. It also contains the date of issue and has provision to mention the date of fulfillment of the same. 3. He then starts working on it by sourcing resumes through all possible sources and shortlists them. 4 the final shortlists are then called for interview as per the time frame decided by the HR Manager. 5. A candidate on the day of interview has to first fill the Candidate Information Sheet and gives technical interview and if shortlisted, he then meets the HR Manager 6. He then undergoes the HR round, meets the General Manager at the site and then is offered if found fit and the components of it are explained and the offer letter is given.

Training It is an attempt to improve future employee performance by increasing an employees ability to perform through learning, usually by changing the employees attitude or increasing his or her skills and knowledge. In Wipro selected employees undergo training for 9 Months.

Identity card cum Attendance register card Punch card system is used for recording the attendance. On joining, the candidates will be given the identity cum access card that will be used to record time of entry and exit from the plant premises. This would be taken as the official record of attendance in the plant.

Payroll maintenance: Preparing the wages and salaries chart, bonus for the whole organization. All this is done based on the leave records, attendance sheets that are maintained by the HR department. After 15months of experience gratuity will be given. Maintaining PF and ESI The HR department also takes care of the Provident Fund of employees, ESI (Employee State Insurance).

Performance Appraisal: Performance appraisal is a formal, structured system of measuring and evaluating an employees job related behaviors and outcomes to discover how and why the employee is presently performing on the job and how the employee can perform more effectively in the future so that the employee, organization, and society all are benefited.

Remuneration: Remuneration is the compensation an employee receives in return for his or her contribution to the organization. Remuneration occupies an important place in the life of an employee. His or her standard of living, status in the society, motivation, loyalty, and productivity depend upon the remuneration he or she receives. Typically remuneration of an employee comprises wages and salary, incentives, fringe benefits perquisites, and non monetary benefits. Remuneration of an employee is governed by external factor like labour market, cost of living, labour unions, labour laws, etc. and internal factors like companys ability to pay, job evaluation and worker himself.

A STUDY ON ABSENTEEISM OF WORKMEN

INTRODUCTION

Progress and prosperity of a country's economy largely depends on the growth and development of its industrial sector or all the factors of production, and the human factor plays a decisive role in achieving this goal.

An organization is a human grouping in which work is done for the accomplishment of some specific goals or missions in a business organization. The personnel function constitutes a paradoxical one. It is this human resource which is of large important in the success of any Organizational setting or human and social rather than physical, technical or economic managers. A manager whether in charge of a production or a marketing function deals with human beings

and gets his work to be done through and with people. Through his own attitude as a manager he can be either damper or encourage initiation.

It is a voluntary act on the part of the worker, in other words, it is without prior permission of the superior, a worker absents himself from the work. If a worker absents himself from a work with the prior permission of his immediate superior, it is not absenteeism. Thus, absenteeism is unauthorized

The incidence of absenteeism increases in the situation where physical working conditions are poor. Environmental stress or distractions such as excess of temperature, unpleasant noise, fumes, inadequate light and ventilation, and unhappy work associates can significantly affect attendance to a greater degree than the attitude towards the company, the pay, or work itself. In common terms "Absence" refers to all "stay away" from work whether authorized or unauthorized.

According to Richard M Jones, "absenteeism is the manifestation of a decision by an employee not presents himself at his place of work at a time when it is planned by management that he should be in attendance and when he has been notified by such expectation".

Absenteeism is no doubt, a symptom of employee discontent and industrial unrest, but lowering of employee satisfaction and morale. The need for effective management of the problem of the absenteeism is thus real and urgent.

Thus this problem can be described as the Symptom of labour unrest. Therefore, results in loss of production, increase in labor costs and reduce efficiency of operation.

While, it may not be possible to eliminate the absenteeism completely, the timely proper action by the management could minimize and keep the absenteeism within the reasonable level.

Types of Absenteeism Absenteeism is of four types via: 1. Authorized absenteeism 2. Unauthorized absenteeism 3. Willful absenteeism 4. Caused by circumstances beyond ones control Authorized Absenteeism:If an employee is absent himself from work by taking permission from his superior and applying for leave, such absenteeism is called "Authorized absenteeism". Unauthorized absenteeism:It an employee is absent himself from work without informing or taking permission and without applying for leave, such absenteeism is called Unauthorized absenteeism". Willful Absenteeism:If the employee is absent himself from duty willfully, such absenteeism is called willful absenteeism. Absenteeism caused by circumstances beyond one's control: If an employee is absent himself from duty owing to the circumstances beyond his control like involvement in accidents or sudden sickness, such absenteeism is called "absenteeism caused by circumstances beyond one's control Common Features of Absenteeism 1. The rate of Absenteeism is highest on pay day or next to pay day OJ bonus, where as employees either feels like having a good time with their family or the entertain himself for i.e., drinking liquor, gambling etc a. 2. Absenteeism is generally higher in the night shift than in day shift due to discomfort. 3. The type of job also influence and employee, on continuous heavy work has higher assured rather than those on light work. 4.There is a close association between the levels of education of an employee. 5.Skilled employees abstain themselves from work less frequently and for a short duration that those who are less killed. 6. The higher the monthly earning of an employee the higher is the absence rate.

CALCULATION OF ABSENTEEISM

There is different method of calculating absenteeism, for this purpose factories hold maintain separate records of each employee giving full details of attendance and also cause of absence. In India, there is no specific method adopted for calculating absenteeism in a particular industry, as it is done in western industrial countries. The formula AXL/F applied for calculating the absenteeism. According to this. Formula , absenteeism is the total number of days lost time divided by the total number of days that could have been worked in a full month of 26 working days by all the workmen. Here, 'A'-Represents the percentage of absenteeism. 'L'-Represents the number of man-days lost. 'F'- Represents the total number of scheduled man-days.

The general practice in industries to calculate absenteeism is as under: The formula given by the labour department, Government of is widely used to calculate the rate of absenteeism No. of employees absent X 100 = Percentage of No. of employees scheduled to work absenteeism No. of man days lost during the month due to absence X 100 No. of man days scheduled to work In an industry, both the formulas are applicable. The first formula is helpful to calculate the percentage of absenteeism the industry as a whole. And the second formula is helpfu1 in calculating the percentage of time lost per individual and it is accurate.

CAUSES OF ABSENTEEISM

Various studies have proved that the root cause of absenteeism is multifarious. For analytical purpose, we can divide these causes in to three major categories; they are job related factors, social cultural factors and personal factors.

Job related factors:

A number of causes are found under the job related factors. The employee gets the wages is not satisfactory to him. Hence, he might fetch more money. If he finds that, he may not be able to complete it on time; he will naturally stay away from work. This creates the problem of absenteeism. Many of our industries are situated in suburban areas and many of the jobs are drawn by the people of neighboring rural areas they were a people who enjoyed a leisurely way of doing their village. They were doing interesting work; by they now find their work dull, monotonous and uninteresting. If the worker is not satisfied with the supervisor or even if he is not satisfied with the fellow workers, he is likely to be absent form work because he does not want to face them. Job dissatisfaction is cited as another cause for absenteeism. This might be due to many causes such as insufficient wage, lack of recreational facilities, etc.

2. Socio-cultural factors:

Inadequate housing facility are another cause for absenteeism, in other words, the houses were majority of the workers are living are overcrowded and ill ventilated. These circumstances result in poor health of a worker and hence he is forced to stay away formwork periodically. An industrial worker in India enjoys more leave and holiday benefits. Along with national and festival holidays he gets 30 days annual leave plus casual leave and sick leave this holiday helps the worker to take few days more and stay at home though special holidays are sanctioned on the occasion of festivals. Many workers who go to their village tend to over stay time.

Insufficient transportation is another accuse for absenteeism. It is not the physical distance that matters, but the time involved in traveling. Lack of proper recreation facilities in the company may be another reason for absenteeism. When the worker finds that he cannot spend his leisure time helpfully. He will seek enjoyment else, where which will interface with his attendance. He might take up drinking or gambling or indulge in other unhealthy activities. Next day morning he woke up fired. Worries deciding to stay at home.

3. Personal difficulties:

Finally under the category of causes pertaining to personal difficulties and experience of the worker. Quite a few reasons for absenteeism can be found sickness is universal factor for absenteeism. In order to attend the work regularly, the worker should have good health. Statistics have shown that, sickness in the workers family often necessary for his presence at home. Indebtedness of the workers in another cause, which prompts the worker to stay away from work. The average Indian worker has one foot in the factory and the other on the farm. He retains his strong live with his village. He is not committed very much to the industrial way of life. He visits his native village more often for harvest operations or for social causes such as wedding ceremonies and soon. this increases the rate of absenteeism. As a result, workers who came from village on the slightest pretext, thereby cresting the problem of absenteeism. Poor supervision, lack of team work and co-operation and difficulties faced by the workers who often try to stay away from work. A supervisor can make the job an interesting one or a miserable one. The following are the causes of absenteeism

Nature of work:

If a worker gets tough an monotonous job, he likely to be absent for the job, because the worker gets tired physically and mentally.

Sickness:

It is the major cause for absenteeism particularly in India industries. It is because of lower wages and imbalanced diet that makes the workers to fall in sick.

Poor working conditions:

In Indian industries, working environment is unsatisfactory and working conditions are very poor, so that workers are likely to be frequently absent, because lack of drinking water and canteen facilities, absence of medical ,air, poor relations with co-workers and supervisor etc., make the environment unpleasant and create absenteeism. Unhealthy working conditions like irritating and intolerable working conditions exist in factories. Heat and moisture, which affects his hearing capacity, bad lighting conditions which causes eye strain . Besides dust, fumes, overcrowding etc. , all these workers health causing him to remain absent.

Accident:

Indian industries are highly accident prone .Accident lead to physicaland mental injuries. This result in absenteeism.

Migratory character of labour:

Absenteeism also result due to migratory character of labour. Many workers who live in nearby rural areas they visit they native places. Moreover, in busy agriculture season, they return to their villages to look after their sowing and harvest and absent themselves from the job. This is a common phenomenon in construction and other industries where skilled workers are not required. Lack of housing and transport facilities: in big cities, there is a major problem of housing in the absence of company quarters; the worker stays at long distance and travel daily by public

transport system. Sometimes, it cause delay in reaching factory in time. Thus, housing and transport problem in absenteeism.

Social and religious cause:

Social and religious functions divert worker from work to social activities. In a large number of cases, the proportion of absenteeism due to other causes including social and religious causes. Sociological factors in our country also cause absenteeism with our religious festivals. The workers have to enjoy these festivals. This causes absenteeism.

Industrial fatigue:

Low wages compel a worker to seek some part time job earn some side income. But, this often results in absent for the extra days work. If fatigue affects him seriously, his absence may continue for quite some time.

Maladjustment with factory conditions:

As worker continues to live in the city. Urban life becomes distaste tohim, because of the sanitary conditions prevails there. He finds himself caught with in great factory walls. He is bewildered by heavy traffic by jostling by strangers speaking different languages. He is confused by different languages. He is confused by different religious, tastes etc., he is subject to strict discipline and is ordered by strangers to do the things, which he cannot understand. As a result, he is under constant strain, which Causes him serious distress and impairs his efficiency. All these factors tend to persuade him to contacts with his villages.

Poor management system:

When the managers consider the worker as their tools, the rate of absenteeism increases. In the absence of proper management control, workload, shift arrangements and personnel policies etc., the rate of absenteeism will be high.

Absence of adequate facilities:

Absenteeism is also due to the inadequate welfare facilities available to workers, for a vast majority, if industrialists in India still look upon welfare facilities as a barren liability rather than wise investments.

Miscellaneous causes:

Apart from the above: there are so many other causes, which causes absenteeism. These are bad weather. other income earning activitism., family responsibilities, no proper leave arrangement, night study, hobbies and sports etc. organization provide proper housing facility to its employees within the vicinity of the factor. The long hours of joumey and inadequate transport facility result in the workers Absence. Therefore facility like housing, transportation, marketing, good station, day nurseries, schools etc, should be provided to the workers by the management which will be mutually beneficial to both. Through this the factory will improve productions or productivity and the workers will reap the advantage of increased earnings and to ensure better living.

EFFECTS OF ABSENTEEISM

Excessive absenteeism is harmful to both employees and employer in the following ways: Regular flow of work in the factory is disturbed. Orders cannot be executed in time as production schedules are upset or delayed.

 Overall production declines. There is considerable increase's in overtime bill. Quality of work suffers because casual workers employed to maintain work schedules are not properly trained. Work pressure on employees who are present increases. Repairs and maintenance cost increased due to breakdown of machinery by inexperienced workers. Incidence of industrial accident increases. Reduction in earnings increases indebtedness from duty Workers who are habitually absent may be removed from services causing a great hardship to him and their families

MEASURES TO CONTROL ABSENTEEISM:

Absenteeism is a serious problem fo a management, because it involves heavy additional expenses. Reserves and understudies are kept in readiness to take the place of the absentees, failing which the over head cost of headed equipment has to face. Industrial employees do not usually ask leave of absence in advance or even give notice during their absence as to him long they would be away. The management generally uncertain about the probable duration of an employee absence and cannot take appropriate measures to fill the gap. The management should take remedial steps to reduce absenteeism. However, it is not to possible to eliminate the absenteeism together as regards, measures to be adopted to remedy the situation. The labor investigation committee,1946 was of the opinion that; "proper conditions of work is factory, adequate wages, protection from accidents and sickness, facilities for obtaining leave for rest and recreation constitute the most effective means of reducing absenteeism."

It should be noted that no single measure can be effective in controlling the absenteeism; but a skillful combination of various measures would definitely lead to the desired results. The measures are as follows:

l. Adoption well defined recruitment procedure:

The selection of employee on the basis of communal, linguistic and family consideration should be discouraged and avoided. It is necessary that the people with right skills and intelligence are hired. They should be placed at proper places according to their skills capabilities aptitude and interest. "The right person at the right place and at the right time" .principle should be followed. The management should look for aptitude and. ability in prospective employees and should not easily yield to pressure or personal likes and dislikes. Application blanks sold invariably be used for a preliminary selection and as tools for interviews. The personal officer should play more effective role as a coordinator or information provided that he has acquired job knowledge in the function of selection. 2. Provision for healthy hygienic working condition:

In India, where the climate is warm and most of the work involve manual labor. It is essential the works should be provided proper working conditions. The facilitates of drinking water, canteen, toilets, rest rooms, lighting ventilations need to be improved any of these help in keeping the employee cheerful an increase productivity and the efficiency of operations throughout the plant . 3. Provision for reasonable wages and allowance and job security for workers:

Some of the employees determined his as well as his family members standard of living. This single factor is important for him than any other. The management should thereof, pay reasonable wages prevailing in different unit of the same industry, in the same area and neighboring areas, productivity oflabor and general Effect of rising wages in neighboring industries.

The allowance that may be paid to workers should include old age allowance, length of service allowance, position allowance, special job allowance, good attendance allowance, transportation allowance housing allowance and so on, so that the worker may have and know the security of employment.

4. Motivation of workers; welfare and social measures:

The management should recognize the needs of the workers and it offers them adequate and cheap housing facilities, free or subsidized food, free medical and transportation facilities from their residence, Educational facilities for their children and other monetary and non monetary benefits. Their genuine difficulties for example, their need of money at the time of marriage, dead, family illness and disablement should be recognized by the management and it should try to help them in this regard. As for social security measures such as the provision for provident, all these need to be improved So that workers may have a sense of belonging. 5. Improved communication and prompt redressed of grievances:

Since a majority of the workers are illiterate, they do not understand bulletins a written notice, journals and booklets. Therefore, timely illustrations and instruction and instruction meeting and counseling are called for written communication becomes meaningful only when worker can read and understand. As for settlement, the management should recognize that a delayed grievance might become a complicated case. A procedure for fair and prompt redressed of grievance is therefore essential. It would be better if the various units adopt the model grievance procure. Supervisors should be trained to handle a worker grievance is an informal and human manner.

INTERVENTION TO REDUCE ABSENTEEISM

Employee absenteeism due to illness implies costs for their employer due to the employee replacement costs and decreased productivity. As a result, employee experience incentives to

reduce absenteeism. Little is known, however, about the effectiveness of interventions that aim at reducing such absenteeism is prolific, but research in to the effectiveness of intervention is scarce.

INTERVENTIONS

The study distinguishes three types of interventions aimed at reducing absenteeism: Procedures regarding absenteeism of employees. Intervention improving occupational health and safety. General human resource management procedures. The first group of intervention involves procedures regarding absenteeism. These interventions by increasing the probability that shrinking will be discovered. Heighten the costs incurred by an employee reporting himself absent. The superiors are made responsible for the sickness of absenteeism of his/her employees. This responsibility can be formalized in. certain procedures, which can be centrally monitored by one person (usually an employee from the HRM department) these procedures describe where employees has to be contracted, and whether this contact should be performed by telephone or through a visits if an employer suspects shrinking. ash agencies are sick pay insurers offer the services of searching for a hospital with shorter waiting lists in order to reduce waiting times for medical treatment. The second group of interventions, which is more general and aims at improving working conditions, seeks to reduce sickness absenteeism and shrinking by making work more agreeable. These interventions include the following: Producers concerning working conditions and certification of these procedures by an independent agency. Appointment of coordinator for working conditions, also coordinates improvements. Risk assessment and evaluation (RA&E) which is performed either by the firm itself or by the ash agency or a third party.

Risk assessment implies that labour conditions in the firm are systematically checked to evaluate whether they entail risks for the employees. The results are documented. The third group of interventions consists of general human resource management policies aimed at increasing productivity and job satisfaction. These interventions enhance the work benefits enjoyed by the employee. In this connection, the study analyses the effects of regular performance interviews.

LIMITATIONS OF REPORT An analysis has been done as per the objectives and attempt has been done to study each and every parameter to make it more useful and to the mark. Effort has been done so that information collected is correct for the subject studied but there are some limitations which are as follow. Study has been undertaken only on 50 workers of Wipro. Which cannot provide the information of general public? Information provided may not be true as some of them closed want to tell exact figures. Analysis in done on 50 workers only. So the same cannot be imposed on whole population.

The researcher makes a plan of the study his research work. That will enable the researcher to save and resources such a plan of study or blue print or study is called a research design.

POPULATIONS AND SAMPLE PLAN The population consists of Workers in Wipro. For present study a sample of 50 workers were taken. Convenience sampling technique was used to select the sample units.

DATA COLLECTION The collection, of data regarding the awareness was both from primary and secondary source of information. Primary data was collected by using the interview method and questionnaire method for worker. Secondary data was collected from past company recrds or newspaper and booklets. Questionnaire containing both closed and open ended questions

ANALYSIS OF DATA For analyzing the data collected firstly a master table was prepared to note down the responses in a tabular form.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION The present chapter includes the analysis of the primary and secondary data collected from the worker through the questionnaires. A total of 50 Workers were taken and were personally interviewed with the help of structured questionnaire to get the information regarding Absents.

According to the first objective, "To study of why the absenteeism happens in Wipro following results are:
