❖ Smecta ® is not only Smecta ®, a good employer brand needs to have the dual support of the company brand and the product brand.
❖ The creativity, imagination and affinity of female professionals can empower the workplace, and eventually become the "she power" to turn into productivity.
In the rapid development of China, more and more women are making greater progress in the workplace through their own efforts, as well as constantly pursuing self-worth realization. According to the "2022 Survey Report on the Current Situation of Chinese Women's Workplaces", under the dual pressure of economic burden and fertility desire, 59.2% of women hope to achieve both career and family. 52.2% of women believe that the biggest obstacle to promotion is "limited promotion opportunities offered by companies".
"Talent is the most valuable asset of the enterprise, and it is the pillar of the ultimate success of Epson's diversified health." The list of "2022 Best Workplace ™ for Women in Greater China" was released, and in the fierce competition, Yipusheng Diversified Health was successfully selected, which is the second time that Multiple Health has won the workplace honor after winning the "Best Workplace ™ in Greater China" award twice, and the arrival of this award also confirms the company's adherence to the concept of "soft culture" construction.
In the diversified and healthy workplace of Yipusheng, women in the workplace and enterprises are mutually beneficial and win-win, women gain growth and achievements, and enterprises gain productivity and creativity. Through an interview with Jin Ying, Vice President of Human Resources of Epson, we learned what the "best workplace for women" should look like.
Best Workplace Celebration for Women
Equal attention to women's potential is an honor with a higher gold content
"2022 Best Places for ™ Women in Greater China" was selected and awarded by the world's leading workplace research certification organization, The Institute for The Best Places to Work ®, a global human resource management consulting organization headquartered in San Francisco, USA, focusing on workplace culture shaping, talent data accumulation and organizational development. The Excellent Workplace ® Research Institute obtains relevant data through research and monitoring, and effectively measures the strength of employer branding from both internal and external perspectives for all participating enterprises.
Ms. Jin Ying, Vice President of Human Resources of Yipusheng Diversified Health, introduced that in order to be shortlisted for the "Best Workplace ™", it is first necessary to become the "Excellent Workplace Certification ™", and one of the requirements of the Excellent Workplace is that the company is recognized by more than 70% of employees. The standard for women's best places to work is higher.
One of the criteria for the "Best Places to Work ™ for Women" is that at least 30% of the employees in the organization are women and at least 20% of the women are in senior positions. In addition, there are many stringent requirements, and it is precisely because of the "high threshold" of the standard that it has become a workplace award with "high gold content".
"Some surveys show that men are generally believed to be more leadership in the workplace, men are more confident in their own job performance, in the pluralistic health, we will pay equal attention to the potential of women", Jin Ying said, "At present, the multi-health leadership team has a total of 16 members, half of which are women, the company's manager level or above, the proportion of women is higher, reaching 51%, this data is far higher than the standard required by the award."
Growing in the workplace can ensure the stability and continuity of talents
In the enterprise, the contribution of female employees is becoming increasingly prominent, and it has become a "her power" that cannot be ignored. Allowing young women to continuously break through themselves and help them achieve sustainable growth is one of the keys to IPOSS' diversified health to gain the favor of female professionals.
Jin Ying proudly said that Diversified Health is a learning workplace with an equal and inclusive workplace culture, and all employees, including female employees, can grow and develop fairly in the company. Work is not only to achieve self-worth, in the workplace female employees can make friends, get growth, share happiness, learn together, is this not the workplace ecology that every employee dreams of?
As a pharmaceutical company, medical department employees share with colleagues how to eat healthily, how to control their blood sugar and lipids, and what nutrients women of different ages should supplement. All employees with their own skills have the opportunity to share with everyone as lecturers in the company, which can not only tap the potential of everyone in many aspects, but also promote colleagues to understand each other and establish friendships, bringing color and warmth to the workplace.
Small and powerful micro is also enough, employee micro action
The sharing and help between colleagues stems from a workplace culture of diversity and health - "micro-action". Jin Ying believes that in the workplace, even small actions can have a great impact on colleagues. Epson actively supports and assists female employees in enjoying a fair and positive work experience.
On Goddess Day, companies organize celebrations or intimate games every year to give everyone a way to relax. On this year's Goddess Day, employees held the best female workplace celebration in the morning, everyone had a happy lunch at noon, and all female employees took a holiday in the afternoon.
In today's talent competition and incentives in the pharmaceutical industry, the achievements of the innovation and development of pharmaceutical companies are inseparable from the support of outstanding people. Looking at the shortage of talents in the domestic pharmaceutical industry, the mobility of talents in the industry has been exacerbated to a certain extent. Diversified health adheres to a positive corporate culture, and only by making employees happy to work and see long-term development prospects can we better maintain the stability and continuity of talents.
A fair and equal promotion environment, "she power" to help enterprise performance improve
In diversity and health, equal and fair treatment of employees is the cornerstone of corporate success. All employees and candidates are treated equally fairly.
In the communication with Jin Ying, it is not difficult to feel that the company insists that employees have the opportunity to work and develop their careers in an environment free from discrimination, harassment or any other form of unfair behavior, and has been working hard to create a gender-equal workplace environment, where female employees can have very fair development opportunities, and many women have taken up senior management positions.
No matter what period a woman is in, it is possible to reap the joy of promotion. Jin Ying shared a real-life example of a person who received a promotion notice during pregnancy. There was once an employee who was pregnant and on maternity leave, and according to the company's annual promotion mechanism, her results were excellent, and when she took maternity leave, she was notified of promotion.
"I was really moved, I didn't expect that employees on maternity leave would also be included in the promotion assessment, and they also passed and were recognized by the company, which is unimaginable in other enterprises." The female employee said.
Jin Ying introduced that many large companies have talent inventory once a year. Multiple health is the middle of the year, the end of the year inventory twice, last year the company's promotion ratio of more than 10%, in the entire pharmaceutical industry, this proportion is also very rare, but the turnover rate is relatively low, not only continue to have fresh blood injection, there are a large number of excellent old employees willing to stay in the company for a long time.
An ideal workplace and fair development opportunities are the basis and reward for employees to provide high-quality services, and will ultimately bring excellent performance to the company, just as having star products can also attract more talents for the enterprise.
There are not many people who may know about Yipusheng Multi-Health, but when it comes to smecta ®, one of the company's star brands, it is familiar to many consumers, especially mothers, and Yipusheng Multi-Health has come to China with this brand for 30 years. Because of its cornerstone status in the treatment of diarrhea, it has become a common medicine for many families. "Every time I do internal and external activities related to Smecta ®, there are always people who will sigh that the original Smecta ® is your product, and my family also has it," Jin Ying said vividly, "When recruiting talents, candidates often close the distance with the company because of their understanding of this product," she added.
The 45th anniversary of The Global Listing of Smecta ®, ingenious and undaunted by time
"Smecta's ® marketing department also happens to be full of female professionals." Jin Ying believes that the creativity, imagination and affinity unique to women in the workplace can empower the workplace and ultimately translate into productivity. The Smecta ® team also has a strong retail gene, and has always maintained a leading position in the category in related channels, which is also one of the important factors that we can always attract excellent talents, and the growth of Yipusheng's diversified health China business will reach 19.7% in 2021.
"Turn ideas into action, and turn talent into impact." As a multinational "time-honored" enterprise that has been founded for more than 90 years and has been deeply involved in China for 30 years, it is convinced of this and put into practice.
Smecta ® is not only Smecta ®, brand power is also a "magic weapon" to attract and retain talents
Smecta ® is not just Smecta ®, a good employer brand needs the dual support of the company brand and the product brand. "In fact, a good employer brand is the combination of corporate brands and product brands, and Smecta's ® brand power is really proud of many colleagues" Jin Ying introduced, in the past 30 years, Smecta's ® brand iteration has not only not left the brand outdated, but has won the trust of consumers and the love of mothers, which is deeply grateful to the colleagues who are struggling for it behind the scenes, including our excellent female employees, who have given more love and warmth to the brand.
IQVIA survey shows that among consumers who have used Smectar ® (montmorillonite powder), 88% of consumers are loyal users of smecta ® (montmorillonite powder), and the unique fruit flavor also solves the mother's "difficult to feed" concerns. In 2021, Smecta won the ® "2021 Mom Trusted Brand" award.
In terms of corporate social responsibility, Ipson Multi Health has always done its best to care for children and pay attention to social needs, which is also one of the most proactive and enthusiastic activities for employees every year.
In 2020, employees participated in the "Vibrant Community" mobile children care plan, actively participated in the Mobile Children's Games with their babies as a family unit, and donated health gift packages, hoping that children in the world can grow up healthily and happily on an equal footing; last year, in cooperation with the Green Development Association, the "Water Safety Plan" was cooperated with the Green Development Association to donate water purifiers and thermos cups for the three Hope Primary Schools under Guizhou Bijie, because the epidemic employees could not go in person, but personally drew water cup covers for these lovely children, and many employees said" Such activities are so good that we hope that in the future we can take our children to these areas in person, so that children can know how to love and help from an early age. ”
Practice corporate social responsibility
It can be seen that in the best female workplaces, high salaries are definitely not the only way to attract talent. Women harvest growth and achievements, feel meticulous and humane care and support, fair and just promotion mechanism, cohesion of the corporate culture, etc., these are the "best women's workplace" should look like.
