QINGDAO, China, March 8, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Global employment losses for women stand at 5%, versus 3.9% for men in 2020,

according to the ILO Monitor. In particular, women are much more likely to drop

out of the labour market. Notwithstanding a more competitive pressure on women,

Hisense (600060.SH) adheres to empowering more women to achieve accomplishments

while taking up challenges.

Gender Equality in the Workplace

Hisense values respect, dedication, innovation, and efficiency as its corporate

spirit. "Respect" comes out on top of the list. The company advocates gender

equality and provides equal employment opportunities for female employees

worldwide. The proportion of women in Hisense's global employment is around

40%, higher than the global average of 38.89% (according to the World Bank).

Hisense encourages more females to pursue career paths, breakthrough bias and

accomplish higher workplace positions. At the Hisense factory in Atlantis in

2018, 80% of the team leaders in the TV production chain are female employees,

and a large scale of the factory's administrations are taken by women. The

strength of women's meticulousness and patience contribute significantly to

Hisense's growth.

Female Leadership in Hisense  

Across the globe, Hisense has many intellectual female executives who have

taken up challenges and led their teams to break down barriers posed by the

pandemic.

Ms. Tania Garonzi, Vice-President of Hisense Australia, led her team to work

from home during the lockdown in Australia, attaining impressive sales results.

In 2020, a TV sales volume of 510,000 with a year-on-year increase of 15% was

achieved by her team, ranking second in Australian market. 325,000

refrigerators were sold with a delightful increase of 28%, year-on-year.

Moreover, she concerns about her team members' wellbeing and work-life balance

in the new normal. She encourages and guides them to confront challenges in a

flexible way. "Our team's ability to adapt to new ways of working and stay

positive in the face of adversity played a critical role in helping us to

achieve this success," said Tania.

Supporting Women in Sports

Hisense also cares for women on the athletic fields. As the official global

partner of UEFA Women's EURO in 2017 and 2022, Hisense devotes itself to

encouraging women's professional sports and inspiring female athletes to chase

their dreams through the partnership with women's sports games. On the e-sport

field, Hisense is also contributing to a platform for female players to achieve

their dreams and values.

dilemma, take up challenges boldly and progress to be a better self in
