of acquired companies
• Inventory management and phased approach to equipment standardization
• Compliance is a moving target, especially when acquiring companies in new
regions and countries of business

acquired offices
• Conducted H&S gap assessments and working on actions
needed for closing the gaps
• Completing Emergency Response Plans for all newly
acquired offices

Create an elevator pitch:
No matter where you work or what you do, you can do something to ensure your personal safety and the safety of those
around you. Our CAREforce program is based upon the principle that everyone cares to a certain extent about their
safety and it provides you the means to engage in creating a healthy and safe environment.
It’s can be as simple as letting us know when you are injured and when see a hazard in the workplace. Or lending a
helping hand to an employee who is going through a hardship so they can focus on their recovery. Of course, it includes
volunteering on our emergency response team so we can act in times of peril. And lastly, it provides you the knowledge
and tools to reduce risk as well as well as prepare for and respond to emergencies.
Taking these simple steps will make you a hero to yourself and the Salesforce Ohana.

3. Enforcement Trends in China
158
 China punished 25,164 environmental offenders in the first half of last
year, fining them more than Rmb230m and transferring 740 cases to the
police for criminal investigations, according MEP
 Over the last three years, the Chinese government has punished 33
multinational corporations for violating the nation’s environmental laws
and regulations, according to Ma Jun, director of IPE
 Multinational companies in China should be aware of increased
enforcement of EHS laws, monitoring requirements and fraud, violations
of Chinese EHS laws will be difficult to operate into China, they will face
severely punishments, pulled into “Black List” and restricted in other
business. (Fine is calculated on daily basis without ceiling)

4. Cultural Nuances in China
159

4.1 Women in the Workplace
160
• Private sector employers are reluctant to hire women
because Chinese law requires that the employer cover
maternity leave and childbirth costs; However, certain
industries prefer female workers for assumed benefits.
• According to national statistics, the ratio of male to
female migrant workers averages 2:1, and an estimated
30-40 million of the migrant women work in the cities;
• In China last year, women held 44 percent of senior
management roles in companies, according to a report
released by LinkedIn

4.2 Maternity and Paternity Leave Policies
161
 “National Special Rules on the Labor Protection of Female
Employees (2012)”, Order No. 619 of the State Council,
stipulates that:
 The maternity leave: 98 days. An extra 15 days in case of
Cesarean. Twin birth granted an extra maternity leave 15 days.
 Paternity leave for husband: from one to two weeks.

4.3 Military Requirements
162
“Military Service Law of the People's Republic of China (2011)”,
Order No. 50 of the President, Oct 29, 2011, stipulates that:
- The People's Republic of China practises a military service system which
combines conscripts with volunteers and a militia with a reserve service.
 Due to China's huge population, more volunteers than needed ones,
universal military conscription has never been enforced.
 Taiwan law provides for compulsory military service. Men between the
ages of 18 and 36 who were born in Taiwan or who have ever held a
Taiwan passport should be aware that they may be subject to
compulsory military service in Taiwan, even if they are also U.S. citizens.
