The superstar Jay Chou, known as "Jay," has been married to his beautiful wife Hannah Quinlivan for many years. He is not only a family-oriented good man but also a great boss. In 2007, he founded "JVR Music" with Yang Junrong and Vincent Fang. Every year, in addition to company annual dinners, year-end bonuses, and red envelopes, he treats his employees to a trip abroad, with the destination of their choice!
In June this year, he generously spent millions so that employees could vacation in Austria and the Czech Republic for 10 days, with all expenses covered by him, including accommodation and airfare. Moreover, he is attentive to the health of his employees, allowing them to customize advanced health checkup packages every year and submit receipts for reimbursement. Incredibly, Jay even cooks late-night snacks for employees working overtime, and Jay's mother often treats staff to high-end Japanese cuisine and afternoon tea. No wonder the company's employee turnover rate has been extremely low over its 17-year history; it’s because he pampers them straight to their hearts.
A good boss can take you to a paradise. Although Jay can't literally take employees to heaven, being one of the most successful earners in the entertainment industry, he definitely has the means to make the workplace feel like paradise. Besides thoughtfully preparing Christmas chocolates and birthday cash gifts each year, he opens voting for staff to choose their desired destinations for annual trips, usually rewarding them with a retreat after the Lunar New Year. However, he does not attend himself, worried that his presence would make employees feel obligated to entertain him instead of relaxing. This year, he treated employees to a 10-day trip to Austria and the Czech Republic, and in the past, has taken them to exotic vacation spots like Club Med in Phuket, Maldives, and Japan.
Moreover, during his global concert tours, the accompanying staff flies with the superstar to Thailand, Singapore, the United States, Malaysia, Australia, and more. In January next year, they will join him for a concert in Dubai, U.A.E. Although JVR employees are not flight attendants, the number of cities and countries their passports accumulate rivals the airline industry. Jay is extremely kind to his staff, and his mother, Yeh Hui-Mei, treats his employees as her own. Considering Jay is often away due to work, Mrs. Chou regularly visits to treat employees to lunch, ordering high-end Japanese meals for the staff to enjoy. She also stands in for her superstar son to distribute red envelopes and serve afternoon teas at the company.
Besides basic bonuses during the main three festivals, JVR offers free annual health checkups, birthday cash gifts, and Christmas chocolates. The office is stocked with endless snacks and a freshly-ground coffee machine. Previously, it was rumored that Jay handed out three months of year-end bonuses, although this has not been confirmed. It is understood that Jay Chou’s employees receive year-end bonuses based on performance reviews, with each employee receiving different amounts. Staff privately maintain confidentiality regarding their bonuses, akin to "nuclear secrets," and do not openly discuss them; only Jay and the individual employee know the amounts. Jay serves as a steadfast support for employees, and JVR Music has long been famous for its excellent employee benefits, with notably low resignation and turnover rates.
