Chapter 28 Unexpected Benefits
Lin Ruoyan hasn't thought about anything else these days. Apart from setting employee salaries according to the highest market price for similar positions, she also has to find ways to improve employee benefits.
She specifically told Qin Shuang that the company would be engaged in high-end real estate in the future, so the image must also be taken into consideration.
Therefore, after completing the entry formalities, high-end clothing must be tailor-made for each employee. A dedicated person in charge of customizing clothing will be asked to wait and measure the body data of each employee. At that time, the clothes and shoes that employees wear when they go to work will be uniformly issued by the company, with the standard cost of at least 10,000 yuan per set per person.
In addition, the company opened a VIP card at a high-end beauty salon near the company and deposited 100,000 yuan into the card. Company employees could go there with their work ID cards, and the money for their image care could be deducted from the company account twice a month.
Hearing this, Qin Shuang was so surprised that he didn't know what to say.
This is not the end yet.
According to Lin Ruoyan's vision for the company, a 9-to-5 schedule with an hour and a half break is mandatory, and overtime on Saturdays and Sundays is strictly prohibited. There's no need to punch a clock in, and lateness or early departures require a clear explanation. Flexible work schedules are permitted for reasons like picking up children or taking care of family, and a rigid 9-to-5 schedule isn't necessary.
Women can take two days of paid leave each month for their menstrual periods. The company also has a bar and a long row of tables and chairs, offering free coffee, drinks, and snacks. A refrigerator and microwave are also provided for easy dining.
We should also add some fitness equipment outside the changing area so that people can come here to exercise during lunch breaks and when they are not busy at work.
Qin Shuang had wondered before why Miss Lin requested such a large space be reserved for the water bar and the changing area. It turned out that it was for such a purpose.
Is this still a legitimate company? Why is it becoming more and more like a large leisure center?
No matter what Qin Shuang thought, Lin Ruoyan wouldn't change her mind. That was all she wanted for the company. It wasn't as outrageous as the kind of botanical gardens built into headquarters buildings that people often associate with overseas headquarters, where they're said to never want to leave. She still hoped her employees could have a normal life after their eight-hour workday.
On the day of the onboarding procedures, Lin Ruoyan arrived at the venue early, but found that Wen Erya, the director of the Human Resources Department, had arrived even earlier.
During the conversation, Lin Ruoyan realized that she seemed to have poached Li Yiqi's employees again. In the original book, Li Yiqi's company was initially facing many difficulties. It was this sister Wen who persuaded various talents to join and helped the company survive the most difficult period of the startup.
This HR director used to be an outstanding employee of the Lin Group. Later, she started a business with her friends but failed. Now she heard that the Lin family was going to open a real estate company and needed a HR director. So she asked the current HR director of the Lin Group, whom she had promoted, to help with the planning and she was successful in her application.
In terms of HR experience, Director Wen is even more experienced than the current HR Director of Lin Group. Even after leaving, she maintained good relationships with all departments of Lin Group. The subsequent failure of her startup can only be attributed to the poor track chosen by her partners, as she had done her best.
In the original book, when Wen Erya was depressed and confused, it was Li Yiqi who helped her and helped her prove that she was not incompetent, but had not found a good partner.
Lin Ruoyan also thought that Wen Erya's spirit had been worn down by his entrepreneurial failure. After all, he had been a contributing member of the Lin Group. Now she was offering Director Wen a job to relax and unwind. She wouldn't give Wen Erya the same pep talk as Li Yiqi.
But Wen Erya, returning to Lin's, was filled with gratitude, knowing how well her former employer had treated her. How could she not cherish and repay them? So, she swept aside her previous lethargy and arrived at the venue over an hour early to help with the setup, determined to build a strong team of talented individuals.
Although she didn't quite understand Lin Ruoyan's choice of people, it didn't matter. Perhaps that was Ms. Lin's unique talent? Otherwise, why was the Lin family thriving while her own startup collapsed? It must be a personnel issue. This time, she must learn from others and carefully observe how they run their companies.
When the first group of employees arrived at the five-star hotel, they were inevitably a bit hesitant. When they were notified to go through the onboarding process, the salary was their primary concern. The fact that the company was newly established and the location of the office were not particularly important to them.
So when they heard the company's office was still under renovation and they needed to start early, they didn't think much of it. They all considered their positions minor roles anyway, and they just wanted to ask the person in charge of the paperwork if starting early would mean they could get their salaries calculated sooner.
As a result, they entered a five-star hotel and walked into a high-end venue that looked magnificent, which was specially prepared to welcome them to the company.
It completely overturned their worldviews. To say they weren't moved would be a lie. This was the first time in their lives that they had been treated with such respect and honor.
In the past, they might only be able to enter such places as cleaners or waiters. They also envied those well-dressed men and women who ate snacks and discussed important matters. They felt that they were inferior to those people and that they might never be able to reach such a high level in their lifetime.
However, today, the company's boss Lin Ruoyan told them with facts that everyone will be a member of the company in the future. Position does not represent identity. Everyone is an employee and deserves respect for their contribution to the company.
Then they saw the well-printed contract and the incredible benefits listed in it, which were far more generous than they had imagined.
It's understandable that the front desk staff works from nine to five, but aren't the people in the CEO's office and the driver supposed to be around the boss, on call at any time? Lin Ruoyan said, however, that she wouldn't call in employees during off-hours, and if overtime was absolutely necessary, she would pay them multiple times the salary according to the labor law.
Is this for work? This is simply a place to enjoy life. It's incredible!
Only the heads of the Human Resources and Finance departments were a little worried, but when they saw the ambitious expressions of the new employees and their determination to devote themselves to the company, they felt that it was all worth it.
Anyway, the real estate company is just starting out and they haven't even bought the land yet. Everyone's workload is light, so it's okay to have a little relaxation.
After signing the contract and completing the employment procedures, male and female tailors were waiting at the door to measure everyone's body data and customize work clothes. With the reshaping of everyone's previous three views, everyone gradually adapted.
At this point, the new employees have completely accepted the company's definition as a high-end real estate company on a spiritual level. As a member of the company, they also represent the company's image. They must pay attention to their words and deeds and strive to improve themselves to be worthy of such a good company.
Lin Ruoyan used her own credit card in advance to buy a welcome gift for each employee. The women received a cosmetics set, and the men received the most expensive electric shavers, which they let everyone take away when they left.
Hua Mengmeng was deeply touched by the fact that these gifts were equally suitable for both men and women. She still remembered the embarrassment of not wearing makeup when she applied for a job at the Lin Group due to financial hardship. This time, she had specifically borrowed some makeup from the women, fearing she would be criticized again. Now that Miss Lin had given everyone gifts upon meeting them, she would definitely work twice as hard to justify the opportunity the company had given her.
