Improving discipline awareness

In many cases, the fact that workers are not aware of compliance with company rules and regulations as well as labor laws, especially labor safety regulations, is one of the causes directly affecting their health and life. According to the statistics of the Department of Labor - Invalids and Social Affairs, in 2019 the whole province had nearly 700 occupational accidents, in which the number of causes due to lack of awareness accounted for 21%.

Construction activities and production of construction materials are considered as potential areas with high risks of unsafety and hygiene, causing higher damage to people than other industries. According to Mr. Dang Thanh Nam, Deputy Head of the Quality Control Department of Construction Department, in recent time, besides some construction contractors who have not really paid attention to labor safety, the fact that the majority of employees in the industry is seasonal employees with very few vocational training, so their awareness of compliance with regulations on labor safety and hygiene is not high, etc. Chairwoman of the grassroots trade union of Johnson Wood Joint Stock Company (Tam Phuoc Industrial Park, Bien Hoa City) Nguyen Thi Thanh Xuan said that every exported shipment is strictly inspected by our partners, just small faults or any labor violations will result in goods return by the partners. Therefore, in order to ensure the work quality of to meet requirements, before admitted for official employment, employees must undergo training in rules, regulations, company policies, and basic training and guidance, etc. to improve their qualifications and sense of discipline in the production process.

Encouraging and rewarding employees promptly

According to the Vice Chairman of the Provincial Confederation of Labour Tang Quoc Lap, the industrial revolution 4.0 is taking place, bringing many new job opportunities for employees, but also requires the quality of labor needs to be raised. In particular, the sense of professionalism in labor, along with the higher requirements for skills and expertise, are indispensable requirements. Emplyees can be definitely eliminated from their jobs if they do not meet the requirements. Therefore, employees need to voluntarily improve their awareness, responsibility, and professionalism at work; and actively learn to improve qualifications and skills to meet requirements in the current development trend.

CEO of Chien Vietnam Furniture Mfg. Co., Ltd (Tam Phuoc Industrial Park, Bien Hoa City) Nguyen Thi Thanh Tin said that before requiring employees to work responsibly and closely, businesses have to regularly improve welfares and care for their employees' wishes. Employment is always associated with fair rules of bonus and punishment. In doing so, employees will always be highly aware and responsible for their work.

Ms. Tran Kim Lien, Chairwoman of the grassroots trade union of Binh Tien Dong Nai Co., Ltd. (Bien Hoa City) shared that in addition to implementing regimes, policies and concerns to improve the lives of employees, the company also set out specific regulations on rules, and regular and timely reward policies. Therefore, each employee is always well managed from working hours to labor productivity and creativity in labor. This is the basis for evaluation, and monthly, quarterly and yearly reward. As benefits are always associated with responsibility, so employees' sense of discipline is very high.

Mr. Phan Toi Tho Hiep, Head of the Safety Department, Tokin Electronics Vietnam Co., Ltd. (Long Binh Industrial Park, Bien Hoa City) said that in order to contribute to raising the awareness and behavior of employees, one of our measures is focusing on improving the operational efficiency of the safety and hygiene crew.

Accordingly, every day, members of the crew urge, remind and guide employees in their teams and workshops to strictly abide by the regulations on labor in production and maintenance of machinery and equipment; and regularly propagandize and guide employees to improve their understanding of labor protection and to abide by the company's regulations. Every month, the company organizes training courses on occupational safety and health as well as labor regulations for the safety crew and employees. Once a quarter, the company rewards the safety and hygiene crew and employees with good achievements in their work. Since then, it has not only contributed to raising the awareness of compliance with labor regulations and labor discipline, but also motivated employees to compete themselves enthusiastically in production.
