What I understand by Workers’ Welfare

Ugwu and Coker in the paper “Incentive Schemes, Employee Motivation and Productivity in Organizations in Nigeria: Analytical Linkages” stated that, “Employees occupy a strategic role and position in any organization (2012). They are responsible for converting inputs to productive outputs. Since they are the key to the productive outputs, they ought to be effectively and adequately compensated for their labour.” But before workers can have sustainable productivity, promotion of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being should be in place.  In other words, the general well being of the workers and productivity are two sides of the same coin and that ill health and unsafe working conditions jeopardize the whole cycle of production.
