According to Mr. Tinh, thanks to ensuring good accommodation for the staff and workers, they settle down, are dedicated, responsible in their work and have a long-term attachment to the Company and the factory.
Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Corporation Limited is also a business that ensures good housing for staff and workers.
In 2018, the company put into use more than 300 townhouses with a spacious, modern 2-storey design that provided accommodation for more than 300 married employees called the family dormitory area.
This dormitory is built on an area of 5.9 hectares. In addition to apartments, a supermarket, a kindergarten, and a closed park will be built to create the most favorable conditions for officers and employees living here.
In addition, Formosa Ha Tinh Industrial Steel Corporation also built many rooms for single officers and workers right in the factory premises. There are also full facilities for health care, sports areas, dining rooms... to meet the needs of workers.
According to an official of the Trade Union of Ha Tinh Economic Zone, the issue of housing for workers has recently been invested in and built modernly by many enterprises in Vung Ang Economic Zone, meeting the needs of workers.
In addition, there are also enterprises investing in building a spacious and modern housing system for workers. That contributes to ensuring accommodation for workers so that they can work with peace of mind and stay with the enterprise for a long time.
In general, there are still many small enterprises that have not built or arranged housing for workers. Hopefully, in the coming time, more businesses will focus on investing, building, and ensuring housing for workers so that they can reduce rental costs and have better living and living conditions.
