Recently, Yu Donglai, chairman of Pang Donglai, shared his management philosophy in a live broadcast.He said employees after get off work should still have energy to enjoy life, such as watching movies and drinking coffee, instead of coming home feeling exhausted.
Yu Donglai has always emphasized that every employee - including cleaning and security guards - should be fully respected and enjoy a dignified work and life. In the past, employees at Pangdonglai had to work more than ten hours a day, but now the daily working hours have been shortened to 5 to 7 hours.
Although he is a business owner, Yu Donglai remains humble and polite to every employee. He thinks,Respect is mutual. How you treat your employees will be how your employees respond. Although working hours have been significantly reduced, Pangdonglai's operational efficiency has been significantly improved. The turnover of a single supermarket can be three to five times that of ordinary supermarkets.
This company, which many people call the "ceiling of the supermarket industry", provides employees with an extremely generous vacation system: ordinary employees can enjoy 40 to 60 days of paid vacation per year, and management can even enjoy up to 180 days, which is unique in China's retail industry.
What’s more worth mentioning is thatYu Donglai clearly wrote "no contact after get off work, no interruption during vacation" into the company system, and set up an additional 10 days of "unhappy leave" in addition to the basic vacation.——If employees have been emotionally burdened recently, they can apply for leave to adjust their status, relax their body and mind, and return to work when their mood improves.
