Should company culture be employee-centered?

The construction of workers' culture is an important part of enterprise culture and an important means for trade unions to perform their maintenance functions. It is of great practical significance to carry out colorful workers' cultural and sports activities, advocate a healthy and civilized lifestyle, meet the growing spiritual and cultural needs of workers, improve their quality and promote the construction of harmonious enterprises.

As the first super-large iron and steel complex built after the founding of New China, WISCO, as an important state-owned backbone enterprise directly managed by the Central Committee and the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, has always attached great importance to the construction of staff culture. Especially in recent years, WISCO has always adhered to the direction of advanced culture, closely focused on the overall situation of enterprise reform, development and stability, and regarded the construction of employee culture as an important content of building a harmonious enterprise. By carrying out colorful cultural and sports activities, the cultural quality of employees has been improved, the spiritual life of employees has been enriched, and the cohesion of enterprises has been enhanced.

The practice of WISCO workers' cultural construction proves that only by using advanced ideas, excellent culture and healthy and progressive workers' cultural activities to enliven and enrich workers' spiritual and cultural life and meet their multi-level, diversified and multifaceted spiritual and cultural needs can we continuously stimulate workers' labor enthusiasm and creative vitality, thus continuously promoting the process of building a harmonious enterprise and promoting its sound and rapid development.

1.WISCO's employee culture construction develops in innovation, and the concept of "making employees harmonious, healthy and happy every day" has become an important connotation of WISCO's corporate culture.

The cultural facilities of WISCO employees have been continuously improved, and the cultural activities of employees have been continuously innovated and developed, forming the cultural concept and brand of employees with WISCO characteristics.

-The construction of cultural and sports facilities for employees has been gradually improved. With the strong support of the party and the government, the construction of WISCO cultural and sports facilities has made great progress, and a large number of venues and facilities with reasonable layout and welcomed by employees have been put into use. In recent years, Governor's Cultural Activity Center, Governor's Reading Center, Bai Yushan Cultural Activity Center, Wuhan Iron and Steel Gymnasium, 1 16 Street Swimming Pool, Workers' Theatre and Workers' Congress Hall have been built and renovated one after another. At present, WISCO owns 1 1 company-level staff cultural palace, theaters, gymnasiums and community activity centers. Mines and other units have their own theaters, gymnasiums, libraries, staff cultural activity centers and other facilities.

-Four traditional cultural activities to build the brand of "happy culture" of WISCO. WISCO insists on carrying out four traditional series of cultural activities: 10,000 employees' long-distance running to welcome the new, the Spring of WISCO, the Song of May Day and the Summer of WISCO, which condenses employees' spiritual and cultural needs into various civilized and healthy cultural activities and forms a "happy culture" brand with WISCO characteristics. Every year, the four traditional series of cultural activities bring forth new ideas from the aspects of scene, content, form and artistic expression, making the activities huge and colorful. For example, in the past two years, the "Happy Family" and "Happy Team" competitions written, directed and performed by employees have attracted tens of thousands of employees and their families from all over the company. Their long duration, wide participation of employees, diverse programs and far-reaching influence are all the most mass cultural activities.

-the literary and artistic creation of workers has achieved fruitful results. WISCO takes WISCO literature and art as the carrier, which reflects the real life of employees in the reform and development of WISCO and promotes and prospers WISCO's literary creation. Since the establishment of WISCO College of Literature, * * * has held 14 literary training courses, more than 30 people have joined provincial and municipal writers' associations and published more than 40 literary monographs such as Sun Dream. WISCO literature lovers publish nearly 200 novels, poems, essays and other works in newspapers and periodicals at or above the provincial and municipal levels every year. In the past two years, we have created the electronic version of WISCO Literature and Art, and jointly opened the WISCO Literature Forum with WISCO Online, which is closer to the times, employees and life. The prosperity of WISCO's literary creation has become a banner in the literary circle of national enterprises, which is called "WISCO literary phenomenon" by the media.

-Art Troupe has expanded the popularity of WISCO staff culture. As a professional literary and art group in the enterprise, WISCO Cultural and Art Troupe has always integrated the touching stories of model workers, the exploration spirit of scientific researchers and the pioneering spirit of the broad masses of workers into art forms such as dances, songs, sketches and short plays, and insisted on performing 70 performances for the workers and staff every year, sending fine literary and art programs to factories and mines and to the doors of community workers. Many outstanding works of art, such as Song of the Yellow River and Feelings of Steel, created and interpreted by the Art Troupe, have won awards frequently in various exhibitions in China and provinces and cities, winning honors for WISCO. At the same time, we also actively explore the cultural performance market and the industrialization of cultural products. Participated in CCTV "Heart to Heart" Art Troupe performance, and went to the United States, Canada, Thailand and other countries for cultural exchange performances. In the past two years, the large-scale dance drama Yayiyi has been created and put on the market, and its popularity has been further enhanced in the fierce cultural market competition.

-Mass sports and fitness activities have flourished. WISCO has successively invested and installed more than 50 sets of fitness equipment in the living quarters of employees, and set up many fitness activity points to facilitate employees to participate in physical exercise. 10 Company-level individual employee sports associations, such as ball games, chess and cards, and martial arts, established according to employees' hobbies, organize more than 100 sports competitions every year, with more than 10000 employees participating. More than 200 workers' interest associations in factories and mines make full use of their spare time and weekends to organize activities that workers are willing to participate in. The annual staff table tennis and badminton competitions, chess and swimming competitions, and the biennial staff football and basketball "double cup" have attracted a large number of employees to participate. Especially the four-year WISCO Workers' Games, the scale and the number of participants are more than one. WISCO also organized a delegation to participate in a series of high-level large-scale comprehensive sports meetings and individual sports competitions, such as provincial and municipal sports meetings and national metallurgical workers' games, which received good response.

Secondly, WISCO's employee culture construction is innovative in practice, and the concept of "making employees harmonious, healthy and happy every day" has added inexhaustible spiritual motivation to improve the quality of employees.

WISCO's employee culture construction is also based on serving employees' self-development ability, meeting employees' independent innovation needs and promoting the overall improvement of employees' quality.

-vigorously carry forward the spirit of model workers with workers' culture, and create a public opinion environment of "great workers, glorious labor, harmonious WISCO and running towards a well-off society". WISCO insists on training and selecting a group of model workers with distinctive characteristics of the times and spiritual outlook as an initiative to encourage employees to learn to catch up with the advanced and make great achievements, and has trained and selected a large number of advanced model figures, so that the concept of "respecting labor, knowledge, talents and creation" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. In newspapers, television, websites and other media, columns such as "Pioneer of Steel City" and "Songs of WISCO People" were set up, and more than 1000 advanced model workers at all levels with the spirit of WISCO people were publicized. A good atmosphere of learning from, caring for and striving to be a model worker has been formed among employees.

-Insist on educating the staff and workers about the situation, tasks and responsibilities, arouse the enthusiasm of the staff and workers, and promote the sound and rapid development of WISCO. In recent years, in the face of the severe market situation, WISCO has extensively carried out the activities of "stressing the situation, tasks, objectives, responsibilities and contributions", making full use of various forms such as situation reports, body movement propaganda, blackboard newspaper windows, newspapers and television, billboards, job motto collection, etc., and successively relying on the publication WISCO Trade Union, Selected Loose-leaf Works of Team Learning and the website of WISCO Trade Union. Discussions on "uniting people's hearts, wisdom and strength" and "not afraid in times of crisis" were held, which set up a new communication bridge between enterprises and employees, guided employees to understand the situation clearly and clarify their responsibilities, and greatly stimulated their consciousness and firmness of loving their jobs and being dedicated.

—— Making use of employee culture to carry out the activity of "striving for Excellence" in depth, which has accelerated the process of employees' knowledge. WISCO has extensively and deeply carried out the activities of self-taught workers and "establishing learning enterprises and striving to be knowledge workers", and implemented the plan of "10,000 learning workers, 1,000 learning innovations, 100 learning teams (teams) and 10 top knowledge workers". A large number of learning teams and knowledge workers have emerged, and the process of knowledge workers has been accelerating. The workers' technical games are held every two years. Through full participation, full training and full exercise, 10 14 technical champions and 2364 technical experts have been produced in the "fast lane" of job success. WISCO rewards employees who have made outstanding contributions every year, and rewards 50,000-50,000 yuan to the proponent of rationalization proposal "golden idea" and the creator of advanced operation methods of front-line workers. WISCO's experience and practice in establishing a learning organization have been exchanged many times in the whole country, provinces and cities.

Thirdly, the enlightenment of WISCO employee culture construction and the thinking of deepening enterprise employee culture construction.

On the basis of long-term practice, WISCO Trade Union has creatively put forward the concept of "four days" in recent years, that is, organizing employees to do a good job every day, highlighting rights protection and caring every day, being harmonious, healthy and happy every day, and innovating trade union work every day.

As an important part of WISCO's "four-day" working mode, the concept of "making employees happy and healthy every day" has become an important connotation of WISCO's employee culture. WISCO's practice embodies the characteristics of the times in the construction of enterprise employee culture, and has the following enlightenment for further improving the construction of employee culture under the new situation:

First of all, the construction of employee culture must focus on comprehensively improving the spiritual and cultural quality of employees. As a cultural group environment, workers' culture exerts a subtle influence, education, shaping and transformation on people. Colorful cultural activities can effectively cultivate employees' sentiment, create an advanced cultural atmosphere, stimulate employees' labor enthusiasm and creativity, and improve their spiritual and cultural quality. Practice has proved that taking improving the spiritual and cultural quality of workers as the foothold of workers' cultural construction can mobilize the enthusiasm and creativity of workers to a greater extent, condense the wisdom of workers and make contributions to the production, operation and reform and development of enterprises.

Second, the construction of employee culture must be based on improving the professional skills and quality of employees. Strengthening the construction of workers' culture and improving the quality of workers' professional skills is related to enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises and is an important guarantee for promoting the sound and rapid development of enterprises. Through employee training, employee technical games, employee self-management, self-learning and "creating a learning enterprise and striving to be a knowledge-based employee", we will speed up the cultivation of knowledge-skilled, technical-skilled and compound talents, guide employees to work, study, practice, contribute and become talents in their posts, and promote the process of employees' knowledge and skills. WISCO's series of effective measures have become an important measure for enterprises to accelerate the cultivation of high-quality skilled talents and implement the strategy of "strengthening enterprises through talents".

Third, the construction of employee culture must constantly seek innovation and breakthrough. In the new era, the construction of enterprise employee culture is facing many new situations and problems. Only by actively adapting to the new requirements of enterprise reform and development, adapting with innovation, developing with innovation, constantly studying new situations, and constantly exploring and creating new ways and methods of employee culture can employee culture keep its vitality forever.

Fourthly, the construction of employee culture must realize the organic combination of popularization and improvement. Workers' cultural activities must highlight extensive participation, continuously expand participation, continuously increase participation rate, continuously explore new fields, attract more workers and their families to participate in colorful activities, and promote workers' cultural activities to be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. At the same time, it is necessary to continuously improve the level and quality of key projects of corporate cultural activities, form characteristics, build a "brand" and achieve good results in relevant national, provincial and municipal competitions. Only by organically combining popularization and improvement can the foundation of employee culture be more solid, more dynamic and more promising.

Fifth, the construction of workers' culture must better perform the functions of trade unions. Workers' cultural organizations and workers' cultural positions are one of the best ways for trade unions to carry out mass work and keep close contact with workers, and are also the concrete embodiment of trade unions' performance of maintenance and education functions. To deepen the construction of workers' culture, we must combine upholding the leadership of the Party with the independent and creative work of trade unions according to law, combine obeying the overall situation of service with fully performing the basic duties of trade unions, and unify the requirements of the Party, administrative needs and workers' wishes. Only in this way can we give full play to the role of staff culture construction.

The report of the 15th National Congress of China Trade Union pointed out: "The construction of workers' culture is an important carrier for workers to improve their professional skills, enrich their spiritual and cultural life, stimulate their enthusiasm for work and create vitality". This puts forward new and higher requirements for the construction of enterprise employee culture. To this end, I deeply feel that the innovative development of enterprise employee culture needs to further improve the leadership mechanism, operation mechanism and innovation mechanism of employee culture construction, and the concept of "making employees harmonious, healthy and happy every day" is more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, providing inexhaustible spiritual motivation for promoting the sound and rapid development of enterprises.

-Raise awareness and improve the leadership mechanism of enterprise staff culture construction. It is necessary to clarify the leadership responsibility and fully understand the profound significance of promoting the construction of employee culture from the height of improving the overall quality of employees. The construction of workers' culture is the common responsibility of party and government workers in enterprises, the fundamental move to promote the internalization, externalization and solidification of corporate culture, and the urgent need to realize the core values of corporate culture. The process of employee culture and enterprise culture construction is the process of educating employees with advanced ideas, inspiring employees with lofty spirit, inspiring employees with clear goals, restraining employees with standardized systems, inspiring employees with the power of example, and arming employees with leading technology. Strengthening the construction of employee culture and improving the overall quality of employees is related to strengthening the soft power of enterprise culture, improving the competitiveness of enterprises and maintaining and developing the advanced nature of the working class. It is necessary to strengthen organizational leadership and continuously promote the construction of employee culture in light of reality. It is necessary to establish a leadership system for workers' cultural construction that pays equal attention to party and government workers, and form a working pattern of party Committee leadership, administrative responsibility, trade union promotion and cooperation from all parties; Incorporate employee culture construction into the overall planning of enterprise culture construction, design and implement together, and create more activity carriers and forms with characteristics of the times and rich connotations.

-Scientific management to improve the operating mechanism of enterprise staff culture construction. It is necessary to establish a daily work evaluation operation mechanism such as an employee cultural target management evaluation system and a continuous improvement system, and form a work pattern of employee cultural construction layout, implementation, inspection and evaluation. It is necessary to increase the propaganda of staff culture construction, give full play to the role of corporate media positions, and create a strong staff culture atmosphere. It is also necessary to sum up the experience of promoting employee culture construction, and discover, cultivate, publicize and promote outstanding examples of employee culture construction in time. In particular, it is necessary to do a good job in the integration of employee culture in enterprise restructuring. For example, in the process of implementing the southwest development strategy, WISCO should use the vision of * * * to unite employees, use the values of * * * to motivate employees, establish an integration mechanism for the construction of employee culture, and closely link the future and destiny of reorganized enterprises with group companies. We should do a good job in the management of workers' cultural positions, constantly improve the work level and service quality, and innovate the service content.

-people-oriented, establish an innovative mechanism for the construction of enterprise employee culture. Only by putting people first can we fully mobilize the active participation of all employees, and then promote the continuous innovation of employee culture construction. It is necessary to embody the advanced nature, grasp the times and creativity, create an innovative atmosphere of employee culture, and innovate the methods and carriers of employee culture construction. Under the new situation, WISCO employee culture will continue to deepen the four brands of traditional cultural activities, constantly bring forth the old and bring forth the new, attract more employees to participate extensively, and strive to achieve the popularization rate of employees' cultural and sports activities above 80%; Strengthen the construction of associations and interest groups, and promote the development of workers' cultural and sports activities in the direction of full staff, autonomy, amateur, diversification, miniaturization and community; Relying on the association, strengthen the construction of amateur literary and art teams of employees, improve the professional level of the team, and strive to create a new brand of employees' cultural and sports activities; To do a good job in the construction of cultural positions, the Wuhan Iron and Steel Sports Center is being built according to the requirements of employees, creating conditions for further improving the quality of spiritual and cultural life of employees. At the same time, we will deepen the activities of "building a learning enterprise and striving to be a knowledge-based employee", vigorously promote the activities of "staff bookstore", "staff lecture hall", "staff forum" and striving for "pioneer of staff", so that the cultural life of the broad masses of staff and workers will be more colorful, their mental outlook will be more high-spirited, and the achievements of corporate staff and workers' cultural development will be effectively shared.
