< p > Xu Ling also said that mature enterprises should pay close attention to their families in addition to maintaining good communication with their employees.

At the same time, enterprises should ensure that the treatment of employees is stable.

"Organizing employee training and learning on such a basis will be an effective way to relieve staff pressure."

Xia Zhongqun said.
