A corporate culture supported by a compliance

For decades, Chinese employees, under a sort of “iron bowl of protection”, spent their entire professional lives working for the same company.
As the need to consolidate and modernize operations has increased, the Chinese chemical industry has been forced to lay-off many workers thus breaking the strong bonds between employees and their jobs and demotivating employees in general. Despite the fact that a greater importance is placed on individual and small team performance, Chinese employees will surely have the opportunity to rebuild close relations within their companies in a redesigned Chinese chemical industry.
Over the last few years, the Chinese government has organized training programs designed to help employees affected by these unit shutdowns find technical jobs in the new Chinese chemical industry of the 21st century.

Corporate culture and code of conduct motivates employees in the long run.

Companies are beginning to adopt a “Company Spirit” based on principles such as taking responsibility, working together and having a winning spirit. Employees are asked to embrace and share these principles in order to ensure the success of their company. Thus :

- a variety of programs are often put in place to be sure that all employees receive the widest possible selection of information covering areas such as strategy, company events and business results.
- management often encourages individual initiative as part of a results-oriented culture featuring empowerment-based management.
- one of management’s main responsibilities is to ensure that each employee maintains his or her professional skills and is thus prepared for future organizational and technological changes.
