Recently, it was reported that a company in Henan Province has awards for employees who have two and three children! "Employees will be rewarded with 30,000 yuan for having a second child and 100,000 yuan for having a third child. "Not only female employees, but also male employees' family members can also enjoy a certain percentage of subsidies when they give birth. Employee Xiao Zheng got a pair of dragon and phoenix babies last year, and the birth subsidy was also increased by 50%. On March 4, a staff member of the company told reporters that the matter is true, and since it has been implemented since January 1, 2022, five or six eligible employees have received the reward, "We have been executing." ”
According to the Tianyancha APP, the company has been listed on the stock exchange, with 554 insured employees.
The reporter's inquiry found that in 2022, it also announced the launch of the "baby" support plan. The plan clarifies that the reward will be officially implemented from January 1, 2022, and "female employees who have been employed for more than one year will enjoy a maternity subsidy of 30,000 yuan for the second child and 100,000 yuan for the third child during their employment".
In particular, it is stated that with reference to the plan, male employees' family members can also enjoy a certain percentage of subsidies if they give birth.
In recent years, many enterprises in many places have introduced similar fertility incentive policies, which mainly focus on cash incentives for childbirth employees
In 2023, the listed company Qiaoyin Co., Ltd. issued the "Notice on Improving Employee Maternity Benefits", which will reimburse the company's newly born employees for their children's daily expenses such as milk powder and diapers during the period from 0 to 3 years old, bear the tuition fees of public kindergartens for newborn employees with two children, and give employees with three children a one-time reward of 100,000 yuan.
On December 30, 2021, Kuaishou, an internet company, issued an internal letter announcing the adjustment of employee benefits. Specifically, it includes reducing room allowance, canceling free meals, and adding maternity bonuses, which are 1,000 yuan, 2,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan respectively.
In January 2022, Dabeinong, a listed company in agriculture and animal husbandry, announced that it would reward childbirth within the enterprise, and employees will receive 30,000 yuan for giving birth to their first child, 60,000 yuan for their second child, and 90,000 yuan for their third child. Based on this calculation, a three-child family can get a reward of 180,000 yuan from the company. In terms of maternity leave, one month is added to the national standard for the first child, three months for the second child, and 12 months for the third child.
In March 2022, another Guangdong company, Jianyi Group, issued an internal announcement and decided to give a reward of RMB 51,000 to employees who gave birth to three children. As for why the incentive program was introduced, the company said that on the one hand, the company itself has the concept of supporting childbirth, and on the other hand, it responds to the call of national policies and assumes social responsibility, "the enterprise itself is also an organ of society."
Shang Chongsheng, a professor of sociology at Wuhan University, once talked about his views on the introduction of birth incentive policies by enterprises. He believes that if it is not hype, these measures can be implemented, then it shows that the company has the strength, is sincere to employees, and also has a certain sense of responsibility and mission to the society.
Hou Mengting, an associate researcher at the Research Institute of the Jiangsu Academy of Social Sciences, told reporters that in the short term, enterprises actively introduce fertility incentive policies, which are effective for some age-appropriate and fertile groups with economic pressure.
