Aggregate collective intelligence
Explore the "three new" enterprise trade union work model
Walking into the home of the trade union workers of Xiaomi Company located on the north side of the Xiaomi Science and Technology Park, the "Xiaomi Trade Union" emblem on the bookshelf is the first to come into view. Pothos and potted phalaenopsis in full bloom decorate the house. The pink vertical sign is marked with the words "Xiaomi Love", and the Pick MI Xiaomi singles club is set up here to open up a friendship garden for employees. In between work, employees can come to the Workers' Home and Love Reading House to learn, communicate, rest, experience the automatic massage chair, and enjoy the "tea is tea" selected by the members' blind test and the latte art coffee "created" by the coffee robot. "On the eve of this year's World Book Day, the staff selected their favorite books and waist cover collage design, which is quite creative." Shi Yan told reporters about her relationship with the Xiaomi trade union......
"From being a 'layman' working in a union to becoming a trusted 'mother's family' of employees, I think the most important thing is to build trust with each other." In January 2020, the labor union of Xiaomi Technology Co., Ltd. was officially established, and Shi Yan continued to explore a trade union work model suitable for Xiaomi employees. At the beginning of the establishment of the company's trade union, I was thinking about how to explore and establish a trade union work model that conforms to the characteristics of the 'three new enterprises', and the first thing is to study 'what the employees need most'. "At that time, during the period of prevention and control of the new crown epidemic, the first batch of 646 employees of the company entered their membership information and joined the Xiaomi trade union, realizing the contactless application for the mutual aid service card of trade union members, and at the same time obtaining the Xiaomi party building cultural and creative original heart series gift package. In terms of the distribution of souvenirs to employees, Shi Yan fully mobilized high-quality design resources, set up a special design department in the trade union, absorbed the design masters of the business department, and independently designed the trade union series products. In order to meet the needs of employees to bring meals during the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic, the Xiaomi labor union has developed special bento bags and lunch boxes. At the same time, in order to escort the health of employees, the first batch of member initiation gifts "Mi Fuxing" sandalwood soap and new crown daily protection kits came into being. Focusing on the "urgency, hardship and longing" of employees, and sending charcoal to employees, more and more Xiaomi employees gradually recognize and recognize the work of the company's trade union, and take the initiative to join the union.
Over the past four years, Shi Yan has led Xiaomi's labor union to innovate in multiple dimensions such as organizational structure, product design, brand building, and theme activities. "We try to apply the project management concepts accumulated by the business team to the work of the union and create a new model of union organization." Shi Yan said that all the trade union members of Xiaomi are part-time, and in addition to trade union work, there are different divisions of labor and positions within the company. In the trade union committee, "one room, one center, three committees, and six departments" were innovatively set up - one room, that is, the office; 1. The Center refers to the Member Service Center; The three committees refer to the trade union committee, the women's workers' committee and the economic examination committee; Among them, the trade union committee has set up an organization department, a publicity department, a production department for rights and interests, a digital development department, a design department, and an innovation business department. The work of each "department" is composed of a special team composed of more than two trade union cadres to improve the work efficiency of the trade union and promote the normalization of work in the form of "one post AB corner". The purpose of taking on their respective work responsibilities in the form of a team and expanding the strength of a single committee member into a team is to gather collective wisdom, give full play to individual strengths, prevent vacancies caused by personnel turnover, and cultivate more reserve talents for the work of the trade union.
In terms of product innovation, Xiaomi's trade union pays attention to establishing brand awareness and is technology-oriented in the service of union members. Under the brand "Mi Fuxing" project of the Party Labor League, the "New Labor Insurance Series" was extended. "The concept of Xiaomi Group's product development is the 'three iron laws that never change', namely: technology-oriented, cost-effective, and the coolest products. We must also implement the ultimate spirit to develop member benefits, and apply the 'three iron laws' to the work of the trade union. Starting from the actual needs of employees, Shi Yan improved the cost performance of member services, and mobilized the design department to develop products with both functional and aesthetic value. For example, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day "Double Festival" welfare, Xiaomi's 10th anniversary special "Mi Fuxing" baseball cap, New Year welfare baseball uniforms, etc., are all popular among employees. The in-depth promotion of the work of the trade union has also brought more ideas and directions to Xiaomi's business development, made up for the gap in the cultural and creative categories of the "Xiaomi Youpin" e-commerce platform, and become a high-quality business growth point of the Xiaomi e-commerce platform.
Shi Yan also combined the characteristics of the employees of the "three new" enterprises to actively promote the digital construction of smart trade unions, and independently developed the online workers' home trade union system from scratch. "This is a trade union applet developed by us that is embedded in Xiaomi's office system." Shi Yan introduced to reporters while operating with her mobile phone that at present, this applet has been iterated to version 4.0, realizing many functions such as online book borrowing, news release, event release and sign-in, and membership points management system, which has greatly improved the work efficiency of the organization. Shi Yan also made full use of the advantages of new media, learned from the experience of Xiaomi Group in creating a unique fan culture through network interaction and absorbing the experience of "rice noodle operation" at the beginning of its establishment, and successfully created the "Mi Fuxing" WeChat public account and video account.
Energize trade unions
Innovative themed cultural activities
In the work of the trade union, Shi Yan has continuously broadened the breadth and depth of services for trade union members. Set up the Xiaomi Labor Union Pick MI Xiaomi Single Club, hold the "Mi Fuxing Night", and carry out cultural theme and evening party member activities; Create a brand of "tea is tea", hold blind tea tests and tea parties, and promote and inherit tea culture; Guide the Women's Working Committee to organize a series of caring activities such as the Rose Scholar and the "She, Power" photo exhibition on International Women's Day to enhance the attractiveness and cohesion of the trade union; Cooperate with the Xiaomi Party Committee to "eat well" rural revitalization social welfare experiment, and plan the brand activity of "Good Eat Workers...... On April 23 this year, World Book Day, the Xiaomi Trade Union launched a public welfare book donation activity of "Flipping Books and Reading Lingling, Exchanging Books for Vegetables". "The green vegetables used for the exchange of books come from the Changping Yifendi Branch of the Millet Union's 'Good Food' Labor Society, which is an original ecological planting farm, and at the same time, we plan to donate the collected books from the workers' family collection to the Xiaomi Library in Hotan Primary and Secondary School in Xinjiang and the Liyuan Book House in Huairou District. Books are food for thought, and green food is for health. Through the donation of idle books and the exchange of green ingredients, we will bring more positive energy to the 'Xiaomi people'. Shi Yan told reporters.
On May 4, 2021, the "Xiaomi Youth Volunteer Service Team" was established. Volunteers went deep into the community to teach the elderly how to use mobile phones, volunteered to guide the elderly at transportation hubs, went to ecological farms to help weed, and participated in themed activities such as Winter Olympics city volunteer service and Lei Feng Day...... Employee volunteers incarnate a little glimmer of light in the vast sea of people, conveying warmth and strength. In addition, the volunteer activities of employees such as the "Image Nanping Nanshan Market" and the brand building of "Relatives in the Village" demonstrated the vigorous work style of young employees of Xiaomi, and assumed social responsibility in ecological environmental protection, civilized practice and rural revitalization.
Carry forward the "three spirits"
Empower the development of new quality productivity
In recent years, Lei Jun, chairman of Xiaomi Group, has been named a model worker in Beijing, and the Artificial Intelligence Voice Laboratory of the Technical Committee of Xiaomi Group has been awarded the title of "National Worker Pioneer". In order to vigorously promote the spirit of model workers, labor spirit and craftsman spirit within the group, unite and encourage the majority of employees to love their jobs and strive for first-class, the Xiaomi trade union set up the group's "May Day" series of awards and innovated the form of "walking awards". "On the eve of this year's 'May Day', 40 employees have been qualified for the May Day Labor Medal of Xiaomi Group through the recommendation of the human resources business partners of various departments in conjunction with the heads of the departments; Shi Yan said that the "walking award" highlights the sense of ceremony and gain, that is, two group executives are invited to walk to the workstation of the award-winning employee and personally present them with certificates and awards.
In March this year, Xiaomi's automotive factory in the Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone was officially unveiled. This is an intelligent factory with deep integration of production and research, with 6 core workshops, 29 laboratories, more than 700 robots, and 100% automation of key processes to ensure the high-quality delivery of Xiaomi cars. "In order to inspire more employees to devote themselves to intelligent manufacturing and promote the development of new quality productivity, we are applying to the group to select 20 'most beautiful workers' within the scope of Xiaomi's automobile factory."
Shi Yan said that the millet trade union attaches great importance to the reform of the construction of the industrial worker team. In April this year, the "Mifuxing Cup" Staff Vocational Skills Competition and the 2024 Xiaomi Service "Skilled Craftsman" Second Air Conditioning Engineer Skills Competition were successfully held. In the future, the Xiaomi trade union will also organize more labor competitions to build a platform for employees to grow and become talents in helping the development of new quality productivity.
Open the WeChat public account of "Mi Fuxing", the official platform of the Xiaomi Party and Labor League, and the trade union received such a welcome message - home is by your side, and you are not afraid of sailing. With many years of work experience in the Internet field, Shi Yan has always maintained a sense of curiosity, the courage to change, and continuous innovation. Shi Yan said that in the future, the Xiaomi trade union will explore the creation of a team building base of "recuperation + party school", while improving the theoretical literacy and providing high-quality training for employees, it will also provide them with more spiritual nourishment, so that trade union cadres can become the most reliable "mother's family" of employees.
