Most of the workers who come to Binh Duong live far from their hometown and have the need to communicate, have fun and have fun. After hard working hours, they need to exercise and relax with music. They want to have community living spaces where they can participate in cultural, sports and health activities.

If they want to retain or attract more workers to the area, businesses and localities need to pay attention to the above issue to create adequate living conditions for workers both materially and spiritually. Investing in building cultural and sports centers in industrial parks is necessary. Libraries, playgrounds, and sports areas will be places for workers to relax, learn and develop themselves.

Trade unions play an extremely important role in taking care of the spiritual life of workers. Trade unions are not only a bridge between workers and businesses but also a place to protect the legitimate rights of workers. In recent times, many grassroots trade unions have organized cultural and sports activities to improve the spiritual life of workers such as competitions, art exchanges, and sports. These activities not only help workers relieve stress but also create cohesion and solidarity in the working community. This April, most agencies, units, and businesses in the area organize cultural, artistic, and sports programs to help workers have a useful playground.

Mr. Cuong, currently a cashier at Co.opmart Binh Duong Supermarket, shared: "After work, my colleagues and I often play soccer on artificial turf fields near the workplace, convenient for everyone to travel. The supermarket also often organizes internal tournaments or exchanges with other branches to create more playgrounds for workers. Not only is it an opportunity to exercise, this is also an opportunity for everyone to exchange, expand relationships as well as relax after tiring working hours."

Talking about the need for physical exercise and entertainment after work, Mr. Khang, a frozen food counter employee at Co.opmart Binh Duong Supermarket, also said: “In addition to sports activities, there are also many coffee shops near the workplace for employees to sit and chat during lunch break. The supermarket also arranges a number of food stalls with reasonable prices, convenient for employees' living and working.”
