About

The word 员工 is formed by combining two meaningful characters: 员 (yuán), which broadly signifies a person engaged in some role or membership, and 工 (gōng), which means work or labor. When joined, the characters conceptually merge to denote a "working member" or a person who is part of an organization and performs labor, effectively creating the compound term for "employee" or "staff".
