Great Wall Motors is very concerned about the difficulty of Hubei employees in returning to work. With the improvement of epidemic situation and the lockdown relief of Hubei, a number of buses were arranged to depart from Baoding to Hubei from March 29 to 30in five routes heading for Xiangyang, Enshi, Jingzhou, Xianning and other cities in Hubei to pick up 100 employees of Great Wall Motors stranded in Hubei.

Adhering to the concept of “people-oriented and caring for employees”, Great Wall Motors guarantees the balance between employees' career and life, and strives to improve their career and happiness.

Facing the sudden outbreak of COVID-19, Great Wall Motors’ top priority is to fully cooperate with the state in the prevention and control of the epidemic, and continue to pay attention to the safety and health of employees. During the epidemic period, Great Wall Motors donated money and cars (with a total value of 8.85 million yuan) to various regions in the country, started a care fund for 20 million users, and launched a support policy of “three burden alleviations and three enablings” for its distributors.

For employees who cannot return to work, Great Wall Motors keeps in touch with them regularly and is well informed about their psychological status. Great Wall Motors promotes AI-assisted self-diagnosis service for employees, and provides online public welfare consultation services such as Health 100, JD Health, and government psychological assistance hotline, etc. Meanwhile, Great Wall Motors also holds online theme meetings such as reading sharing, love and companionship to reduce the impetuousness and anxiety of employees.

As the epidemic situation mitigated, Great Wall Motors gradually resumed production. At present, the vehicle production bases in Baoding, Xushui, Tianjin and Chongqing have resumed production. HYCET, Nobo Automotive, Mind Electronic Appliance, EA Group and other parts companies of Great Wall Motors have also returned to normal operation. In the process of work resumption, Great Wall Motors implemented the working principle of “prevention first, hierarchical control, hierarchical management and timely disposal”, and built a safe and healthy factory environment based on the interests of employees in order to fully guarantee the health and safety of employees. Meanwhile, Great Wall Motors increased publicity on epidemic prevention and control to effectively improve the epidemic prevention awareness of employees.
