The study population comprises of 71 employees out of which 60 were to be selected as the sample and the sample consisted of the top management and lower level of employees from all the departments of the organization. Unfortunately only 60 employees were selected because most of them had gone for further studies and others for leave. The study set out to find out what employees think about welfare. Therefore the findings in chapter four clearly indicated that welfare is necessary, however the obstacles identified by the respondents to employee welfare were still remain a challenge and these are; lack of support from the top management, lack of funds and incompetence of trainers, inconsistence between employee welfare and organization objectives.
