Welfare " touches" each worker
Having been with Hue Textile and Garment Joint Stock Company for more than 10 years, Ms. Tran Thi Minh shared the reason why she has been with the company for so long not only because of her income, but also because of the close attention from the company. From organizing monthly birthdays, supporting children under 2 years old, giving free bus tickets to return home for Tet to rewarding children of good workers... are all maintained by the company regularly.
"Last year, my son was given a bicycle worth nearly 2 million VND. These are small things that make us feel cared for, warm and motivated to work more" - Ms. Minh confided.
At HBI Hue Company Limited (Phu Bai Industrial Park), the working atmosphere has also become more connected thanks to community activities such as "Sales Festival" - where workers can display and sell handicrafts and hometown specialties. These small markets not only help improve income but also create opportunities for exchange and connection between departments.
The company also regularly organizes knowledge sharing sessions on physical and mental health, with topics such as "Healthy - Live Healthy" guided by nutritionists. At the same time, programs to support workers in difficulty have also been implemented such as "Couple of Love Leaves", supporting 500,000 VND/month for 6 months for workers in special circumstances.
Welfare - a long-term strategy in labor competition
Not only focusing on spiritual well-being, many businesses also have clear and practical salary and bonus policies. Last Tet, Ms. Tran Thi Anh Nguyet - a worker at Hue Seafood Development Joint Stock Company received 2 months of her 13th salary with a total amount of 16 million VND.
"Usually my income and my wife have enough to cover our expenses, the Tet bonus is a source of savings for long-term plans" - Ms. Nguyet shared.
In addition to the Tet bonus policy, the company also supports each worker with nearly 1 million VND at the beginning of the school year to buy books, and increases salary by 10% to encourage working spirit.
Ms. Ha Thi Kieu Lang - Director of the company - affirmed: "When workers are assured, production will be stable, and product quality will be guaranteed. Investing in welfare is an investment in the sustainable development of businesses".
According to human resources experts, in the context of an increasingly competitive labor market, caring for the lives of workers should be considered a long-term strategy, not just a temporary solution. Any business that does this well will retain stable human resources, create prestige and enhance its image in the eyes of partners and customers.
In reality, businesses that invest systematically in welfare policies often have a lower rate of unemployment and are more recruited than the general level. Welfare is no longer an "additional bonus" but is becoming a core element in modern human resource management - an important plus for employees to stick with and contribute long-term.
