Abstract:
Employee training, safety practices, and health care are important factors influencing employee well-being and productivity in manufacturing companies. China’s rapid industrialization has resulted in a complex interaction of many factors, including government regulations, workforce demographics, and intense competition. These factors have significant impacts on the implementation and effectiveness of employee health care initiatives. A comprehensive understanding of these practices is essential to developing targeted interventions and creating a comprehensive well-being framework that addresses the unique challenges faced by employees in manufacturing sector. The study aimed to evaluate the employee training, safety and health care practices among manufacturing that was made the basis in developing an employee holistic well-being framework. A descriptive research design is employed in this study to comprehensively examine and document the current state of employee training, safety, and healthcare practices within manufacturing firms. A survey questionnaire was the most appropriate data collection tool for this study as it allows for systematic and efficient data collection from a large sample of employees in manufacturing companies. The respondents were 400 employees of five manufacturing enterprises in Guangdong Province. The results revealed that respondents have moderate agreement on employee training in terms of training contents, delivery method and training evaluation which indicates an effective training program in the manufacturing firms.
