Not only taking care of income, many businesses also invest in resting spaces, cultural and sports activities to improve the spiritual life of workers.

Ms. Hoang Phuong Anh, an employee of the design department, Stanley Vietnam Electric Co., Ltd. - said that previously the company's reading area was arranged in a common room, located quite far from the workplace of departments and divisions.

After being cared for by the leadership, reading areas were moved closer to the working and resting areas of workers and laborers in the company, creating conditions for laborers to take advantage of reading books during breaks.

According to Ms. Phuong Anh, the reading area in her room has many books with diverse content, from design specialized books to literature, science and books about life, helping workers have more choices to relax and learn knowledge.

In addition to reading space, the company also has a canteen, dining hall, orchid garden and a complex of sports fields such as football fields, tennis courts, pickleball courts, creating conditions for workers to increase exercise and exercise after working hours.

Also working at the company, Mr. Dang Tran Giap, Department of Surface Treatment - said that the Trade Union regularly pays attention to the lives of workers, including the construction of rest areas, trade union cafeterias and organizing annual sightseeing and vacation activities.

After working hours or during breaks, workers can go down to the canteen to rest and chat before returning to work. Mr. Giap commented that the canteen space is now more spacious, airy and cleaner than before.

Previously, the canteen and dining area were quite simple, but now they have been changed, spacious, clean and more comfortable" - Mr. Giap said. According to Mr. Giap, having suitable rest space during short breaks helps workers feel more comfortable before returning to work. He hopes the company will continue to develop, invest in more rest areas, thereby creating a good working environment and helping workers feel secure and attached for a long time.

Mr. Akira Kikuchi - Senior Managing Director of Stanley Vietnam Electricity Co., Ltd. - said that the company's leadership in coordination with the Trade Union Executive Committee always cares about the lives of employees.

About one-third of each person's daily time is spent on work at the company. Therefore, we want to create the best working environment for officials and employees, from caring about meals, sleep to rest and relaxation needs" - Mr. Akira Kikuchi said.

According to Mr. Akira Kikuchi, the company has built trade union canteens, dining rooms and many other utility areas for employees to have places to rest and relax after working hours. This is also one of the factors that the business focuses on to create a favorable working environment and increase employee attachment to the company.
