for almost ten years. With the CFS programme
addressing their concerns about taking care of their
children during the summer, they will feel a stronger
sense of belonging here. The programme helps us
retain employees at key positions and maintain a
core team of experienced workers.
Many of our previous workers, especially female
workers, resigned because they had to return to
their hometown to give birth and take care of
their children. Many of them won’t return to the
workplace again because it’s hard for them to find
affordable childcare alternatives. We might also add
CFS to our recruitment advertisement next year
since it will probably attract other parent workers
who have the need,” said Ms. Lu.
Leading by example
The factory has decided to continue the programme
and improve their services further next year. With the
positive impact it has achieved, the programme also
received much attention from the local government
and union organisation, who have decided to promote
the programme in the entire Hangzhou Bay industrial
park and encourage more factories to follow in this
factory’s footsteps.
