The long-term attachment of employees to the enterprise is the most sustainable "profit"

Mr. Nguyen Van Tan - Chairman of the Trade Union of Hosiden Vietnam Co., Ltd. - said that with the characteristic high proportion of female union members and workers, over 70%, the Trade Union of Hosiden Vietnam Co., Ltd. always pays attention to women's work, especially focusing on representing, caring for, and protecting the rights and interests of female union members and workers.

In the work of caring for and supporting union members' lives, every year, the Women's Union allocates 300 - 700 million VND to award scholarships through launching the movement "professional parents, good children". In the past 5 years, 12,387 union members have participated, 4,324 students have been rewarded, with a total cost of over 2.2 billion VND.

Every year, the company's trade union organizes women's activities for female union members and workers such as: Cooking contest, ao dai photo contest, women's volleyball tournament, elegant union member contest, good voice contest, heart-shaped singing contest, artistic flower arrangement contest...

In particular, in 2021, the Company's Trade Union completed the Trade Union Office with a scale of 40 people to organize meetings for the company's trade union officials, propaganda sessions about gender, reproductive health, exchanging experiences in raising healthy children, teaching good children; is a place for the Company's Trade Union Executive Board to listen to the thoughts and aspirations of female union members and workers...

From his experience, Mr. Nguyen Van Tan believes that to operate women's work in enterprises effectively, he should not choose too many activities because they will not be suitable for the time fund at the enterprise, especially FDI enterprises.

In addition, Mr. Nguyen Van Tan also said that it is necessary to create favorable infrastructure conditions for female workers' activities, in addition to legal conditions such as the requirement to have a breast pump room, a separate rest room for pregnant female workers...

Speaking at the congress, Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan - Chairman of the Trade Union of Samsung Display Vietnam Co., Ltd. said that at the Company's Trade Union, collective labor agreements have agreements on regimes and policies with more beneficial contents than the law with many bonuses for employees.

Accordingly, workers are rewarded for holidays and Tet, productivity bonuses twice a year; excellent employee bonuses; seniority bonuses...

In addition, employees who are married will have 5 days off (3 days higher than the law), biological parents/adults, biological children/adults who have passed away will have 5 days off (3 days off according to the law)

In addition, the company has a childcare allowance for employees with children under 6 years old; gifts for employees on birthdays. Female pregnant production staff can register for maternity leave, the company will support 50% of their salary and participate in full insurance...

"When the provisions in the Collective Labor Agreement are fully realized, bringing joy and warm attention, workers are completely assured, excited, striving to compete in labor and production, contributing significantly to increasing revenue," said Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan, emphasizing that the long-term attachment of workers to the enterprise is the most sustainable "profit" that the enterprise has.

According to Mr. Tuan, experience from the implementation of the Collective Labor Agreement shows that the secret lies not in demand at all costs, but in understanding and balance.

Accordingly, trade union officials must clearly understand which stage of development the enterprise is at and what its economic potential is. The proposal must be based on feasibility so that the Collective Labor Agreement is not only a document on paper but must be implemented long-term and sustainably.

Along with that, the Trade Union needs to listen to and grasp the deepest and most legitimate thoughts and aspirations of workers. Only then will the proposals be reasonable, reasonable and bring the most practical value.

"It is necessary to properly assess the ability of businesses to meet the needs and desires of workers to achieve balance. This balance is the foundation for the terms to be approved and maintained," Mr. Tuan shared.

Mr. Hoang Anh Tuan also said that signing the Collective Labor Agreement is just the beginning, the difference lies in turning the Collective Labor Agreement into a practical action.
