Returning to the company after returning to his hometown in Ha Nam to celebrate Tet with his family, Mr. Nguyen Van Dong, a worker at Unilever Company, Cu Chi Northwest Industrial Park, said that he was taken home by free buses from the "Love Ticket" program. Today, he arrived early to start work at the company.

“Once a year, we all have a ticket of gratitude. We are very grateful and will contribute more to the city and the company. Currently, the company's policy is high and good. Together with the Labor Federation, we will create motivation for everyone in the new year of Binh Than 2016.”

The program “Love Ticket” that workers like Mr. Nguyen Van Dong were awarded was implemented by the Ho Chi Minh City Labor Federation in coordination with the Trade Union of Export Processing Zones - Industrial Parks by mobilizing businesses to contribute 70% of the ticket price, the trade union supported the remaining 30%. This year, nearly 4,390 workers from Phu Yen to the northern provinces were given bus tickets and many gifts.

Not only Mr. Dong, but also in many industrial parks and export processing zones, the situation of workers returning to work after Tet is also stable. Mr. Hoang Van Giang, Deputy Secretary of the Party Cell of FtreeTrenda Limited Liability Company (Chi Chen), Linh Trung Export Processing Zone said: The company has had many activities to retain workers since before Tet, especially always focusing on salary, bonuses, and activities to take care of the spiritual and material life of workers.

On the occasion of the Lunar New Year, workers who have been with the company for 1 to 3 years will receive a bonus based on the basic salary coefficient that the worker is currently paid, from 3 to 5 years will receive a bonus of 1.2 times and double the bonus for workers with 5 years or more of seniority. In addition, after Tet, there are many exciting activities to create a more excited working spirit at the beginning of spring.

This year, the Tet bonus at enterprises is also higher than the At Mui Tet, the average bonus is equal to 1 month's salary. Mr. Nguyen Thanh Do, Chairman of the Trade Union of Export Processing Zones - Industrial Parks in Ho Chi Minh City, said that according to reports from more than 300 enterprises in export processing zones and industrial parks, this year, the total amount of money enterprises spent on Tet care for workers is more than 50 billion VND. Workers who benefit from the care activities have become more attached to the company.

According to Mr. Tran Anh Tuan, Deputy Director of the Center for Human Resources Demand Forecasting and Labor Market Information in Ho Chi Minh City, it is expected that in the month after Tet, the labor shortage of enterprises will be about 3% to 4%, lower than the same period last year and the average labor turnover in enterprises will be from 6-8%.

“We have also forecasted that the demand in February will be 19,000 workers, and in March it will be 26,000 workers. The first focus will be on business administration, economics, foreign trade, import and export, mechanical manufacturing groups, and especially the information technology sector, which will also supplement human resources for the integration period.

In the first working days of Spring 2016, employees at enterprises focused on starting production to soon complete goals and plans for a new year of bumper crops and development./.
