Employee sharing program in vogue amid epidemic
    2020-02-27  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

WHILE a growing number of companies are resuming production, an employee sharing program in South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has helped to solve the understaffed problem for some enterprises.

The program, recently launched by Walmart in Guangxi, with local hotels and catering associations, aims to attract employees unable to return to work to find a part-time job at Walmart.

Gong Jianfeng is among thousands of employees who are struggling to maintain a steady paycheck, as the restaurant he works for was temporarily closed due to the virus outbreak.

“Thanks to the sharing program, I can work four hours a day as a deliveryman at Walmart,” said Gong.

“As many people stay at home, we receive more than 1,000 online orders per day, three times as much as usual. But we are short-handed amid the epidemic,” said Michael Wan, a district HR manager of Walmart China.

Apart from Guangxi, other provinces and regions in China such as Anhui, Fujian, and Zhejiang have also adopted similar employee sharing programs.

“As an extension of the sharing economy, employee sharing would be a new development trend in the future,” said Hu Chao, professor at the School of Economics of Guangxi University for Nationalities.(Xinhua)
