As one of the signatories of the United Nations Women's Empowerment
Principles (WEPs), Yum China believes gender equality is a key
component of our diversity, equity, and inclusion culture. We pride
ourselves in being the leader of gender equality initiatives in the
restaurant industry. We have been named to Bloomberg Gender-Equality
Index for the 5th consecutive year. We are committed to supporting and
promoting gender equality in the workplace as well as achieving gender
equality at all levels by providing equal opportunities and platforms
for female employees. In 2023, we have achieved our goals that at
least 50% of our total workforce is female, and at least 50% of all
employees hired, trained, promoted, and retained are female.
We strive to provide comprehensive care for our female employees in
both the workplace and their family life. In addition to mandated
benefits such as maternity leave, extended leave, and care during
pregnancy and nursing periods for female employees as well as
paternity leave for male employees, we set up dedicated lactation
rooms in our workplace to offer privacy and comfort. To provide more
convenience for employees, we have introduced parent-care and
childcare leave policies. We also offer a series of female leadership
training programs to equip female employees with greater professional
capability and future employability to achieve self-actualization.
