In October, the luck of the textile industry seems to have suddenly improved.
First, textile companies in India and Southeast Asia were unable to guarantee normal delivery due to the epidemic, so orderers have The order was transferred to China. As we enter the end of 2020, the annual “Double Eleven” is approaching, and the cold winter fabric and textile market is also on track to enter the hot market.
With the advent of the peak season, some factories have encountered problems.
Due to the previous sluggish market, the factory gave workers a long holiday. Now it is found that these workers have returned to their hometowns for employment, resulting in a gap in some factory positions.
The only way now is to recruit new workers.
01 Difficulty in recruiting has become the norm
The topic of difficulty in recruiting has arisen in the past few years There was extensive discussion.
In the past few years, during the Spring Festival, everyone will find that in many private enterprises, especially production-oriented enterprises, the bosses are very polite to their employees. Many bosses buy tickets for their employees. There are also many bosses who charter cars to take their employees home and promise to charter a car to pick them up before going to work. However, more companies book their return tickets in advance of the fact that their employees want to go home. The boss is suddenly kind to his employees. The most fundamental purpose is to hope that you will come back to work next year.
If the time goes back more than ten years, during the Chinese New Year, the news we hear is basically Some bosses deduct wages and refuse to pay them, but now basically, there are not many cases like this. In addition to the state’s severe crackdown on such wage arrears, the most important point is that these bosses who delay wages, He may no longer be able to hire workers.
The editor has some relatives who work in factories outside. Every Chinese New Year, they will go home to recruit workers in the factory. As long as they go to work, they take one person with them. When you return to the factory, you will receive rewards ranging from 200 yuan. Some people have wide connections and will bring many people with them.
There are various signs that recruiting workers is no longer as easy as it used to be…
02 So, where have everyone gone?
In recent years, problems such as difficulty in recruiting workers, difficulty in retaining workers, and the aging of the workforce have been plaguing textile companies. This year, it has become increasingly difficult to recruit workers, which has seriously affected the sustainability of the textile industry. develop.
On the one hand, with the pace of large-scale industrial transfer in the past few years, some underdeveloped areas in central provinces or developed provinces have taken over the textile and clothing industry transferred from developed areas. , especially in the central provinces that export large human resources, workers returned to their hometowns and regained stable employment, resulting in labor shortages in textile and garment enterprises in developed areas.
On the other hand, the continuous emergence of emerging industries in recent years, coupled with the emergence of the Spring Festival epidemic this year, has further promoted the development of the e-commerce industry. According to Renmin University of China and According to the “China Job Market Demand Report for the Second Quarter of 2020” jointly released by Zhaopin Recruitment, sales, catering services and express delivery will be the three major industries that will recruit a large number of workers in 2020.
Today’s young people would rather deliver food than enter a factory. This is indeed the current situation of young people. One truth is already clear, that is, emerging industries are rising. Faced with such a fierce impact, if the traditional manufacturing industry wants to compete with emerging industries for people, it must make some changes.
03 “Retaining people” is more difficult than “recruiting”
Most people only realize “It’s difficult to recruit workers” in factories. In fact, the main reason is that factories “can’t retain people.”
In fact, the current labor shortage is not because there are no people, but because the people and positions do not match. In fact, there are still some people who are willing to do these basic jobs, but, Their skills cannot meet the requirements of production, and now that production is so tight, it is impossible to spend too much time training one person. Therefore, the real labor shortage is mainly reflected in skilled workers and hard-working types.
The business of textile factories can be divided into peak season and off-season. The peak season is before May 1st every year. There are many orders and many workers are needed; During the off-season, the demand for labor drops sharply along with the number of orders.
China’s textile industry has thin profits, so it can only recruit temporary workers as much as possible. The result is that the vast majority of the textile industry competes at a low level, because if you spend three years training workers at high cost, they may all resign overnight.
The epidemic has fragmented this year’s production tasks, and the positions of skilled workers have become more frequent. When textile factories want to expand their recruitment, they don’t want skilled workers to be recruited by their competitors.
So the current inability to retain people is the problem with textile factories.
After all, if there is no way to retain people, even ifEven if you recruit people like this, in the end they will leave after a short time. In this case, in the end it will be “all in vain”! </p
