Recently, I noticed a piece of news that made people feel very surprised. A company in Henan Province selected a model worker, but according to his job profile, this so-called "model worker" was actually a blatant violation of the mainland's Labor Law.
It is reported that the company stipulates that ordinary employees work 10 hours a day, but this "model worker" requires employees to work more than 12 hours, 30 days a month, and complete it with full attendance. It's unbelievable.
Such an approach should never be considered exemplary, either from a legal point of view or from a human point of view. So, what kind of behavior should we be clear about what kind of behavior is a real model worker?
As an important law to protect the rights and interests of workers in mainland China, the purpose of the Labor Law is to protect the legitimate rights and interests of workers and prevent overwork. The Labor Law clearly stipulates that the working hours of a general workplace shall not exceed 8 hours per working day, and the average working hours per week shall not exceed 44 hours. At the same time, it is necessary to ensure the safety and health of workers.
In real life, in order to pursue efficiency and profit maximization, many units often force employees to work overtime, violating relevant national regulations. This will undoubtedly bring harm to workers. A truly excellent enterprise should not be blindly directing overtime like this. And a model worker whose true value is recognized by society should not openly promote and advocate illegal overtime.
So, what is a real model worker? Xiaobian believes that a truly excellent model worker should have the following characteristics:
Comply with national labor laws and regulations and enterprise rules and regulations. Employees are not arbitrarily asked to work longer hours and everyone is given a break time.
Actively create an atmosphere of care and growth at work. Use meaningful ways to help and encourage team members, rather than simply going for quantity.
Guide teamwork and problem-solving. To be trusted and learned.
Constantly improve yourself and improve your work efficiency. Identify bottlenecks in the workflow and make reasonable suggestions for improvement.
Pay attention to the development direction of society and the company, and make positive contributions to the company.
The personal character and professional ethics are noble, and a good work style is established.
A truly excellent model worker should be the pursuit of caring for people and contributing to society, rather than simply digital achievements. He should protect the legitimate rights and interests of every employee and drive overall progress. Only in this way can enterprises and society be truly harmonious and sustainable.
The legislative purpose of the Labor Law is to fill the loopholes that may exist in the implementation of the law, and to protect every sweating worker who creates wealth for society to the greatest extent. At this stage, the continent remains a developing country in economic transition.
For a long time, some enterprises may violate labor laws and regulations in order to maximize economic benefits, bringing unnecessary physical and mental pressure to employees.
With the continuous improvement of the mainland's legal system and social protection system, the Labor Law is giving full play to its important role in regulating the management of companies and protecting the rights and interests of employees. Every citizen and enterprise should be guided by the law, earnestly fulfill their social responsibilities, and jointly create a harmonious and orderly working environment.
As workers, we should protect our legitimate rights and interests, and as enterprise managers, we should also be people-oriented and earnestly embody corporate social responsibility.
Government departments at all levels should also strengthen the interpretation and supervision of the Labor Law, and strictly punish any illegal overtime work or other violations of employees' rights and interests. Only when the whole society forms a consensus and jointly protects the right to employment and rest of every citizen, can enterprises and employees achieve long-term coordinated development. Each and every one of us citizens should enforce the law in accordance with the law and uphold the authority of the law.
Only by strengthening the awareness of the rule of law and improving the relevant norms can the Labor Law truly take root in the hearts of the people in various industries and work fields, and provide a solid guarantee for the legitimate rights and interests of employees in all walks of life.
