People First Strategy

The health and well-being of PVH associates remain our top priority. In 2020, we launched the Employee Pulse Survey to collect associates' feedback and suggestions on how the company better supports them to deal with the pandemic. As part of the following-up actions, the company provided the associates with Work from Home allowances to purchase the needed equipment or resources. Also, the company introduced the annual leave extension policy to help associates cope with travel restrictions during the pandemic.

Moreover, PVH launched the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in China to support associates' emotional well-being, help them manage stress, anxiety, work and life needs, and more. All associates and their family members have access to this benefit.

Thrive with our core values

We build on our core values as we navigate through the pandemic and create PVH’s next chapter. Partnership is one of our core values and we uphold the one-team spirit in fighting against the pandemic. In 2020, we held a Stand Strong Together Campaign, allowing our associates to share their stories on partnering with each other to stay strong during the pandemic. We also held a Thank-you campaign on Thanksgiving Day and encouraged our associates to express their gratefulness to their colleagues.

In 2020, PVH China launched PVH Value Ambassador Campaign to recognize the associates who demonstrated the company’s core values: Individuality, Partnership, Passion, Integrity, and Accountability.

Also PVH China launched the Successful Cross-department Collaboration Projects award to recognize the teams who demonstrated great partnership across functions and departments to drive business results.

PVH is committed to strengthening our culture by creating an inclusive and diverse environment that continually gives back to the communities in which we work and live. In China, PVH collaborates with NGOs including Save the Children, Shanghai Baby Home, as well as local communities to roll out voluntary activities with a focus on women and children.

As a responsible fashion company, PVH is committed to creating a more circular and inclusive future of fashion. In 2020, PVH China launched the Green Office initiative and reduced the use of electric power by 6% and paper by 27%.

Hear from associates to drive associate experience and workplace efficiency

Make Your Ideas Shine
PVH encourages associates to share their ideas and feedback for building a great place to work. In 2020, PVH China launched the Make Your Ideas Shine program to collect office associates’ ideas and suggestions via the Suggestion Box. The management's feedback and action plans were closely monitored and shared with associates on regular basis.

PVH Listens
Hearing PVH associates’ voice is an essential part of making PVH a great place to work. The PVH Listens survey (The employee satisfaction survey launched by Corporate) collects associates’ feedback and inputs for making consistent improvements. Thanks to China’s People-First strategy, China's 2021 survey results lead in many focus areas such as Meaningful Work, Associates Engagement, Vision and Priorities, Health and Wellbeing.

Quarterly Update Meeting and You Ask We Answer
The COVID-19 pandemic brings dramatic changes to the way we live and work, so does connect with associates and rally them up. During the pandemic, PVH China launched online Town hall meetings (QUM) and PVH Asia Pacific rolled out You Ask We Answer (YAWA) sessions that have been instrumental to connect associates for better understanding and alignment as well as enhance the workplace morale in challenging times.
