In the Spring Festival of 2024, Henan Fat Donglai Supermarket once again attracted widespread attention, but this time not because of the rush to buy, but because of its "rebellious" decision: it will be closed for five days during the Spring Festival. This move not only caused an uproar in the retail industry, but also gave people across the country a new understanding of the supermarket.
As an existence that is very different from the traditional retail industry, Fat Donglai Supermarket has always attracted attention with its unique corporate culture and management system. When many businesses are vying to open their doors during the Spring Festival, Fat Donglai chose the alternative approach of "taking a day off", which has aroused thinking from all walks of life.
Behind this decision, Fat Donglai attaches great importance to employee welfare and adheres to business ethics. Fat Donglai's employees enjoy the most paid annual leave in the industry, and the five-day Spring Festival holiday is a reflection of the care and respect for the physical and mental health of employees. In this supermarket, there has never been a culture of overtime, and the founder Yu Donglai is firmly opposed to any form of overtime.
This move is not only a case of Fat Donglai, but also a challenge and reflection on the business model. What is the trade-off between business interests and employee benefits? How to balance business competition and social responsibility? These questions deserve to be considered by all enterprises and society.
Fat Donglai's approach may bring inspiration to other enterprises, business is not only the pursuit of profit competition, but also to assume social responsibility, responsible for employees, responsible for consumers. On the road of business, more people are needed to dare to "rebel", dare to practice social values, and create a better future like Fat Donglai.
