Abstract

This paper investigates the workplace problems encountered by migrant labourers at Heera Hosieries, a knitwear manufacturing unit in Tirupur, Tamil Nadu, and evaluates the role of Human Resource (HR) interventions in addressing these challenges. A descriptive research design was adopted, with primary data collected via structured questionnaires from 100 migrant employees using convenience sampling. The study identifies language barriers (100%), long working hours (60%), job insecurity, discrimination, and inadequate facilities as the major issues faced by migrant workers. The findings reveal that HR interventions — including safety measures, grievance handling, training programs, and welfare facilities

— have a moderate but significant positive impact on employee satisfaction. A Chi-Square test (calculated value 12.5 > table value 9.488 at df=4, p<0.05) confirms a statistically significant relationship between HR support and employee satisfaction. The paper concludes with targeted recommendations for improving HR policy implementation, communication, and welfare provisions for migrant workers.
