Abstract

This study explores the challenges and problems faced by migrant labourers in the workplace, with a special focus on Veekesy Footcare (India) Pvt Ltd. Migrant workers form an essential part of the industrial workforce, yet they often encounter various socio-economic and occupational difficulties that impact their well-being and productivity. The research examines critical issues such as job insecurity, language barriers, wage disparities, inadequate living conditions, lack of social security, and limited access to healthcare and other welfare measures. The study employed a simple random sampling technique under the probability sampling method. Data was collected through a combination of structured questionnaires and in-depth interviews with migrant employees and management personnel at Veekesy Footcare. The findings indicate that although the company has initiated some efforts to support its migrant workforce, notable gaps persist particularly in the areas of fair treatment, effective communication, and integration into the organizational culture.
