Businesses prioritize welfare for workers

ĐBP - In tandem with accelerating production and business activities, enterprises across Điện Biên province have increasingly focused on ensuring policy compliance and caring for the lives of their union members and employees.

The Hoa Ba Education and Trade Services Co., Ltd. stands as a leading example in the commercial sector, managing approximately 160 workers within its supermarket system in Mường Thanh and Tuần Giáo. The company consistently provides full monthly salaries and fulfills social and unemployment insurance obligations while strictly adhering to policies on maternity leave and overtime. Beyond providing necessary work gear like uniforms and safety equipment, the enterprise collaborates with trade unions to support those facing illness or hardship.

In 2025, the company distributed nearly VND 50 million across 100 gift sets for disadvantaged workers, followed by an average 2026 Lunar New Year bonus of VND 6.5 million per person. Their “Thank You Workers” program further demonstrates a deep appreciation for the contributions made to the firm’s success.

Another prominent unit in worker welfare is the Điện Biên Construction Lottery Co., Ltd., where nearly 50 employees enjoy a high average monthly income of approximately VND 13.5 million. Director Nguyễn Mạnh Quân emphasizes that the company prioritizes legal entitlements such as salaries, insurance, and leave time. Utilizing its welfare fund, the company frequently organizes visits and presents gifts to workers dealing with illness or to elderly family members during the New Year. The organization also actively supports participation in sports tournaments organized by the union, fostering a healthy and balanced working environment for its entire staff.

To provide timely support, the provincial Federation of Labor has issued comprehensive plans for caring for workers, particularly during festive seasons. Union levels coordinate with employers to review cases of special hardship for immediate assistance. Recently, these efforts resulted in hundreds of Tết gifts and VND 174 million in bus ticket subsidies to help members return to their hometowns.

Furthermore, eight grassroots-level unions, including those at the Điện Biên Cement Joint Stock Company and Mạnh Quân Investment and Construction Co., Ltd., organized year-end union meals for over 750 workers.

Union levels have also strengthened inspections to monitor compliance with working hours and rest periods, ensuring that employers do not force workers into unauthorized overtime. Consequently, 100% of provincial enterprises have paid full wages, with the highest Tet bonuses reaching VND 10 million. These synchronized efforts ensure that legitimate rights are protected and that the spiritual and material lives of the workforce are improved, creating a foundation for stable industrial relations.
