Da Nang City Labor Federation promotes digital transformation in women's activities
Da Nang - Da Nang City Labor Federation has set out important orientations to effectively apply digital technology to the work of caring for female workers.
On October 19, the Da Nang City Labor Federation (LDF) organized a seminar with the theme: "Activities of the Mass Women's Committee in the context of digital transformation", attracting a large number of trade union officials and representatives of female union members in the city to attend.
Speaking at the seminar, Mr. Le Van Dai - Standing Vice Chairman of Da Nang City Labor Federation - emphasized the important role of female workers today. With more than 243,000 union members, female workers account for 60% of the total number of trade union members in the whole city. This is the core force contributing importantly to the socio-economic development of Da Nang.
However, female workers are still facing many challenges such as the risk of job loss, job reduction due to structural shifts and automation; pressure to balance work and family; housing and kindergarten needs; health safety issues and discrimination at work.
Mr. Le Van Dai affirmed that digital transformation is not only an inevitable trend but also a tool to help trade union levels grasp the thoughts and aspirations of female union members quickly and accurately.
We need to innovate operating methods, shifting from one-way propaganda to interaction, from manual grasp to data exploitation and online feedback. Women's work must continue to innovate in a practical direction, taking the needs and legitimate rights of female union members as the center," Mr. Le Van Dai emphasized.
At the seminar, representatives of Da Nang City Social Insurance and grassroots trade unions (such as Panko Tam Thang Co., Ltd., Rieker Vietnam Shoe Company, Fujikura Automotive Vietnam Co., Ltd....) shared heartfelt experiences on digital technology application. Units have gone deep into using digital platforms such as Zalo, internal applications to communicate concisely, easily understood, suitable for shift workers; how to conduct online surveys and answer questions about maternity benefits, social insurance, and raising young children in a timely manner.
The highlight of the program is the "Picking Flowers of Democracy" section, where delegates exchange and handle practical situations on women's work, gender equality and skills in organizing activities in the digital environment. These questions and situations have contributed to improving the capacity of female officials, while creating a lively and open atmosphere.
