Quality of life gains growing importance

Improving the quality of life for employees is gaining growing importance among most of China's corporate leaders.

According to a recent poll conducted by Sodexo - a global on-site services, benefits and rewards services provider - a resounding 98 percent of the surveyed Chinese business leaders supervising more than 2,000 employees said it is important to improve the quality of life within their organizations.

The survey of 50 leaders was the first of its kind to examine the impact that the workers' quality of life can have on corporate performance. A total of 780 business leaders and decision-makers in the corporate, healthcare and educational sectors were surveyed in Brazil, China, France, India, the United Kingdom and the United States.
