(2) Enterprise welfare: welfare measures taken by employers to attract talents or stabilize employees. Such as working meals, work clothes, group insurance and so on.

Enterprise welfare can be divided into the following two types according to the scope of enjoyment:

(1) Benefits for all employees: benefits that all employees can enjoy, such as working meals, holiday gifts, health checkups, paid annual leave, etc.
