“This year, many workers went back to their hometowns without even saying hello. I don’t know whether they will come next year. The policy is relaxed, but the recruitment problem after the new year will be more serious than in previous years.” A textile boss said.
The problem of labor shortage in the three years of the epidemic is not as big as next year. First, there were not many orders and there were not many workers needed, so the textile bosses simply gave up recruiting workers. Second, many workers celebrated the New Year on the spot during this period and went to work directly after the New Year. There is no problem of not being able to recruit workers, but this year the policy has liberalized recruitment. Most migrant workers who have not been home for three years have chosen to go home early for the New Year. It is still unknown whether they will return next year, and textile bosses are also very troubled.
The orders are coming, and so is the labor shortage.
From New Year’s Day to now, many textile bosses have received orders. The orders placed half a month ago can be completed in time for the year, but the orders placed in these days will definitely be scheduled for production after the year. Some time ago, a The order for 3 million meters of pongee was signed two years ago and will be produced in the next year. Assuming that workers are getting later and later in returning to work, and the normal start-up time of the factory will continue to be delayed, wouldn’t it be difficult to meet the order within the delivery date? out, all progress will be delayed.
At the beginning of previous years, companies often faced labor shortages, and skilled workers such as car operators and security workers were even more popular in the eyes of companies. It is foreseeable that the situation will be more serious this year. As the labor shortage intensifies, the “war for people” among enterprises in various places will become the main theme for some time after the new year.
The end of the year is exactly the time when workers are in urgent need. Textile bosses start production in February and hope to get orders out as soon as possible. In previous years, even if the market is not good, the first month is extremely busy. Assuming that the peak season for three, silver and four products arrives, there will be no time for production, so many manufacturers send out recruitment notices early during the Chinese New Year.
There is no need to recruit workers early, treatment is king.
Speaking of issuing recruitment notices in advance, it is actually not a good idea. Some workers who went back to celebrate the New Year years ago did not know whether they should come back to continue working or stay in their hometowns. What can really attract workers is good treatment.
“Poor working environment, long working hours, and few rest and vacations” is almost everyone’s common impression of textile factories. This impression gradually makes young people resist factories. Therefore, most of the general textile factories are middle-aged people between 40 and 50 years old, and there are very few young people, especially those born in the 00s and 90s.
Salary is no longer the first choice for textile workers. You must know that the salary of textile workers has always been at a relatively high level in the textile industry, but they are more willing to do office clerical work, such as following orders, handling orders, salesmen, etc. . Even though the salary is not as high as that of skilled workers, it is better because of the good working environment and free working hours, so they may value treatment more than salary.
From a management perspective, working hours can be relatively reduced to meet the 8-hour working requirement. In order to meet the needs of the construction period, a two-shift working system or a three-shift working system can be adopted. Secondly, increase employee compensation so that employees have appropriate returns for their labor. Pay five insurances and one fund for employees. Textile factories use water air conditioning and other measures in summer. Furthermore, give small gifts to employees during holidays and birthdays; before going home for the Spring Festival holiday, make arrangements with employees in advance for a salary increase next year, even if it is 100, employees will be happy; pay wages on time, etc. Only when employees have a stronger sense of belonging can the company retain workers and talents, and inject fresh power into the company.
“Human resources will become the greatest wealth of an enterprise.” No matter whether the market is good or bad, the problem of labor shortage will continue.
