The new welfare policy was announced by the robot vacuum cleaner manufacturer on 30/12/2025, just before the New Year. From 1/1/2026, the company will purchase health insurance for all employees and their immediate families.

Employees, their spouses, and children will receive critical illness insurance. Notably, their parents will also receive cancer prevention insurance. This policy applies equally to all ranks, from core engineers to security guards and janitorial staff, benefiting an estimated 50,000 people.

CEO Yu Hao calls this a "comprehensive care" policy. Instead of just giving cash, he aims to build a "financial safety net" to prevent employees from being overwhelmed by medical risks.

"For an individual to work with peace of mind, their entire family must be secure," Yu Hao stated.

This decision follows a 20-year sociological study on wealth accumulation by Professor Liu Guoen from Beijing University. The study found that the determining factor for lifelong wealth or poverty is not luck or talent, but health.

Many middle-aged workers today carry a fear: elderly parents above, young children below, and they, as the family's pillar, cannot afford to fall ill. They may endure daily financial pressures, but they dread severe illness. "The line between middle-class stability and middle-aged poverty can sometimes be just one medical bill away. Many families spend their life savings and still cannot cover a single hospital stay," Professor Liu noted.

Beyond the insurance package, the company's Lunar New Year bonus policy also drew attention. On 27/12, Yu Hao announced that in addition to the standard year-end bonus, each employee would receive a one-gram gold nugget. With over 18,000 employees, the total value of this bonus is approximately 26 million yuan (about 100 billion dong).

Earlier, in mid-2025, the company also paid out over 100 million yuan in bonus payments to outstanding teams.

Dreame Technology's actions come as young people in Trung Quoc are increasingly tired of the "996" work culture (9 am to 9 pm, six days a week) and empty promises.

At its headquarters in Suzhou, Jiangsu province, the workspace resembles a resort, featuring abundant greenery. The company offers a package of services: from shuttle buses and marriage and childbirth subsidies to an emergency relief fund for family incidents.

According to Zhaopin's "Good Work Standards 2025" report, Zhaopin being Trung Quoc's largest recruitment platform, 64% of workers prioritize work-life balance.

"The foundation of a business is its people. Investing in people is the most profitable investment," CEO Yu Hao affirmed.
