SHANGHAI, June 29,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Trip.com
Group (9961.HK, TCOM.US) is pleased to announce today a
childcare subsidy for its global employees. Employees who have been
with the company for three years or more will receive an annual
cash bonus of RMB 10,000 for each
newborn child every year from the child's first birthday until the
child reaches the age of five. The company plans to invest RMB
1 billion as subsidies to support its employees in family planning
and promote working families.
James Liang, Executive
Chairman of the Board of Trip.com Group,
said: "Employees are our greatest asset to the
company and we are committed to creating a better and more
supportive working environment for them. Through the
introduction of this new childcare benefit, we aim to
provide financial support that will encourage our employees to
start or grow their families without compromising on their
professional goals and achievements."
At Trip.com Group, building an inclusive and supportive
workplace is always a top priority. This childcare subsidy is a
further commitment towards the goal, empowering our employees to
balance their family and professional lives.
As a family-friendly company, Trip.com Group also provides
great support to working mothers and cares for pregnant employees.
In recent years, Trip.com Group has implemented pro-family policies
such as hybrid work and assisted reproduction benefit.
Mr. Liang, as a demographic economist, believes
that family welfare policies such as inclusive childcare services,
equal maternity leave for men and women, protection of the rights
of single-parent families, and open access to assisted reproductive
technologies, can effectively help working females reduce the time
and opportunity costs of parenting and achieve a win-win situation
for both family and career. In his new book "
Population Strategies: How Population Affects Economy and
Innovation", published earlier this year, he analyses and shares
views on policies which could encourage
childbirth.
As part of its efforts to enhance employee happiness and
satisfaction, the company implemented a hybrid working scheme
through which employees across various markets could opt to work
remotely on certain days of the week. The hybrid working model was
introduced with the aims to improve employee satisfaction,
contribute to family care and promote work-life balance. The global
group was the first internet company in China to implement the scheme. While initially
introduced in mainland China, the
policy has now been adopted by Trip.com Group in 14 regions and
countries, including Hong Kong,
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, and Australia.
