I wonder how much level you are stretched to the situation to ask this kind of question! It is my own suggestion. All employees should identify three persons as your representatives. Only these three will talk to the Management Personnel. Others should maintain a reserved attitude; they should not engage with any Management personnel but focus on working sincerely and striving to produce more output. At one stage, Management will be eager to seek out information. In response, the representatives (the three identified individuals) should meet with Management and communicate the need for better facilities within the shop. If Management is receptive, this can lead to positive outcomes. This approach is proactive. If they remain unreceptive, the only alternative is a negative approach, which will not be favorable for either party. Good luck.

Dear colleague,
There is no success formula to break hard, but a boss like one you have but the approach can work. Generally, one of the main reasons for non-acceptance of HR policies is the cost involved. So start with those which have minimum cost. The other approach is to keep on repeatedly hammering the benefits of such policies. Some policies may lead to more employee satisfaction, which in turn leads to better efficiency, less attrition, resulting in cost reduction, reducing the potential danger of unionization, etc. Anything repeatedly told in a persuasive manner is likely to reach the point of acceptance someday. Only hope and perseverance may work.

I do hope all basic enactments like PF and ESIC are being complied with.
What are the policies suggested and declined for the betterment of employees? As other learned members have suggested, raise the points from time to time at suitable opportunities and try to change their minds. It will be a time-consuming but strategic approach to change mindsets.
Try to analyze why management is avoiding better policies. Is it due to the cost involved, or does management feel that expectations should not be raised? Or perhaps these policies are not commonly in vogue in the industry where you work.

It is a capitalist world where only output is cared about (Theory X). As an HR professional, you can help them see how keeping employees happy will lead to better productivity and results, which is beneficial for the company in the long run. Providing suggestions supported by data and projections on how they can benefit from working for the betterment of employees is key.
All the best!

Dear Friend,
How can we suggest changing the behavior of your employer, whom we do not know? You did not mention the policies to which your employer does not agree. Was the policy you recommended to the employer the voice of the employee, or did any strikes, etc., take place in your company?
It is not a good move on your part to blame your employer since you are the representative of the management before the employee and the voice carrier of the employee to management. The policies you want should be considered by your employer. Upon its adoption, there would be substantial growth in the company, of which you are sure. Then, you need to prepare a worksheet showing, for example, increased production, decreased production costs, and increased revenue generation to present before the employer.

Form a committee and draft your requirements on plain paper. Initially, make some demands on welfare facilities, both statutorily applicable and others with less cost involved. Maintain a positive mindset to consider some demands if they arise during discussions with management, so that whatever you demand can be reciprocated, winning the confidence and support of management.
Request a meeting with the Plant Manager, Plant in charge, and HR. Conduct a cordial meeting to show management that you are reasonable and worth considering. Build this relationship to achieve success. This requires full support from all workers without diverse opinions. There may be employees with negative thoughts; monitor them closely to ensure they do not disrupt the positive relationship you are establishing. Begin by outlining the When, What, Where, Why, and How on plain paper.
