Alibaba ramps up benefits for employees
Employees could have seven days paid family care leave per year.
Alibaba has expressed plan to raise paid time-off, implement a flexible work arrangement, and offer commuting subsidy for employees to improve employee benefits, the company said in a press release.
The company said employees could have seven working days of paid family care leave annually, as well as 10 working days of paid childcare leave and 20-day paid leave for employees who have been at the company for a decade or more.
Employees can work from home one day a week and access monthly commuting subsidies up to $188 (RMB1,200), according to the announcement.
Alibaba rolled out its family care programs earlier, giving employees’ parents free annual health checkups and medical insurance for employees’ children. The company said it will continue to expand its employee care and explore flexible working arrangements to fit the digital age.
