Can you share some interesting things that Deloitte China is doing for employees’ wellbeing, as I know you have a mature and comprehensive framework?
Deloitte China is aware that many of its consultants and partners have a big workload, and to help them relax, we offer our employees massage sessions in cafe! They can book a masseuse and relax. We want a whole company culture shift, so that leaders change their style of management to one that is helpful and not stressful to their employees, because the changes have to start from management.
We are also learning from our US offices, they offer counseling on sleep because many of our employees do not sleep enough, and sleep deprivation is also an issue linked to stress and burnout. They have also developed a Wellbeing Index and a Vitality app in-house, to help our employees become healthy in mind and body, and we will roll out into China soon. In fact, we even added a new company value: Well Being!
Do you see any differences in how the younger generation of employees like to relax?
Those born after 90s have a mindset of “Loose Social Network” (松圈主义). They like to be part of many groups, and not rooted into just one. So in our China office, we started a “Loose Network Programme.” We created different groups on social network, such as basketball, running, and other interests, and employees can just scan the QR code to join the group. This is really popular amongst young Chinese executives, they can choose whichever group easily, and for them to find friends of the same interests, helping them relax, be more energetic, and also strengthens their loyalty towards the company.
