Last Updated: 2026/02/24, It sounds elegant to exchange books for coffee. Just last week, Gu Family Home Co., Ltd. launched such a campaign in the company to set up a cafe for employees in the family dormitory area. According to Hu Canliang, the corporate culture commissioner of Gu's household staff, there was originally a reading room in the main factory area of the company. However, the management of the company feels that there are fewer leisure areas for employees in the dormitory area.

"Book for coffee" sounds elegant. Just last week, Gu Family Home Co., Ltd. launched such a campaign in the company to set up a cafe for employees in the family dormitory area.

According to Hu Canliang, the corporate culture commissioner of Gu's household staff, there was originally a reading room in the main factory area of the company. But the management of the company felt that there were fewer leisure areas in the staff dormitory, so they came up with the idea of opening a cafe, and he was the main person in charge of planning the cafe.

"how can more employees know about it and make suggestions for cafes that better meet their needs? We came up with such an idea. Open a staff cafe after 100 books. " Hu Canliang said.

The activity initiative was not only sent out from the company's internal system, Hu Canliang also posted it on moments, causing many young employees to like and actively participate. By now, the threshold of 100 books has long been broken. Many departments and individuals of the company have delivered the books. Some people donate more than 20 copies. "these books are also very consistent with the temperament of the cafe, most of them are leisure novels, historical and cultural biographies, and some inspirational books. When donating books, people always consider that they are for employees to relax and read. "

While donating books, the staff also put forward a lot of suggestions. For example, can you put more small tables for about four people in the cafe so that everyone can sit down for a small range of games and chat during the break? Put a projector so that everyone can pick up the projector and watch a movie from time to time.

After taking full account of public opinion, the cafe first opened in a 50-square-meter room in the dormitory area to let the staff feel it first. Hu Canliang said that this is only a temporary "residence" for the cafe. Before long, we will find a bigger room in the dormitory area, and then after careful decoration and shopping, we will feel like our own cafe when we come over.
