Investigation on the Difficulty of Recruitment for Some Parts Enterprises

In recent days, Shandong and Guangdong provinces on the southeastern coast have raised their respective minimum wage standards. Statistics show that since last year, 30 provinces in China have raised the minimum wage standard. The adjustment rate in most provinces is about 10%, and some even reach over 25%. In spite of this, the ever-increasing "labor shortage" still appears in enterprises in the Pearl River Delta, the Yangtze River Delta, and the southeast coast, and auto parts companies have not been spared.

As for the labor shortage and recruitment difficulties of auto parts companies, this reporter conducted an investigation.

Phenomenon: There is a large number of auto parts and components in the company's vacant workers. There are thousands of auto parts. The parts companies surveyed by the reporter cover a wide range of products. The products include super capacitors, automotive air conditioning compressors, bumpers and related exterior parts, molded parts, in-vehicle navigation and precision parts, wipers, oil pumps, automobile parts, and parts. Pressure, tires, etc.

In terms of geographical distribution, it is mainly located in Hunan, Guangdong, and southern Jiangsu, and also has parts and components companies in Harbin and Shaanxi.

In terms of corporate nature, 15 private enterprises, 5 foreign-funded enterprises, 2 state-owned enterprises and 1 Hong Kong-owned enterprise in Hong Kong.

Among the 23 parts and components companies surveyed by the reporter, 19 companies said they were relatively short of staff and the type of shortage was first-line workers. Among them, there are 3 companies and there are also gaps in technical personnel.

What are the levels of shortage of these companies? Statistics show that the majority of companies (about 70% of the total number of surveys) are under 10% of the total number of missing and the proportion of those who are in serious cases is 15%-20%. For example, if the number of employees in a company is 1,000, and the proportion of missing people is 20%, 200 people will be missing. This is indeed a headache for businesses. The number of companies surveyed by the reporters is 800 or more.

The survey reporter found that the company lacks seasonal performance. In general, companies have relatively tight manpower in the spring and winter, and there are no obvious shortages in summer and autumn. Business people believe that this is related to the characteristics of the automotive industry and parts industry. Summer is the off-season of the automotive industry and the off-season of certain parts and components industries. Before and after the Lunar New Year, companies are working overtime and are busy rushing orders.

Reasons: Low wages and improper management. The survey reporter found that the most common reason for the shortage of parts and components companies and the difficulty in recruiting workers is that they have lower wages and improper management. Among the 23 companies interviewed by the reporter, 15 companies attributed the lack of staff to lower wages, and 18 companies attributed to improper management (Note: These 15 companies and 18 companies have duplicates). In addition, there are other reasons such as unreasonable job placements, and foreigners taking vacations during the Spring Festival.

During the interview, the reporter consulted with some business people and industry experts on the reasons for the shortage. A company person who produces wiper wipers told reporters that the company is relatively short of manpower and it is difficult to recruit people. The lack of staff is caused by the unreasonable job placement, and it is still a management problem.

Nanjing Aotejia Refrigeration Co., Ltd. is a manufacturer of automotive air conditioning compressors in Nanjing. In recent years, the company's performance has been developing well. According to the company’s personnel, it has been more difficult for companies to recruit people recently. He attributed the lack of staff to the “increased number of people returning from the field”.

After repeated questioning by reporters, it was learned that the original parts and components companies lacked first-line workers, mainly because of wage problems. “The salary of front-line employees in parts and components companies is generally low, especially in private enterprises and foreign-funded parts and components companies. The annual salary of front-line workers is only 10,000 to 20,000 yuan, and there is no rest on Saturday and Sunday. Many companies do not have overtime pay. A business person who declined to be named told reporters.

Li Dakai, chairman and party secretary of Fast Group, helped the reporter analyze the reasons for the difficulty in employment. He told reporters that in the southeast coastal areas, private enterprises are mostly occupied, and the difficulties in finding jobs and recruiting workers are more common there. “Some private enterprises, the boss is bent on making the company bigger, increasing the market share, treating the employees in a more demanding manner, rewarding incentives and incentive mechanisms are not enough. In addition, the state has increased the basic construction of the central and western regions, and the western development Infrastructural construction requires a lot of labor, and some resource companies in the middle and western parts of the country now have higher wages than Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They earn more money and are closer to home. Why do migrant workers go out?”

Measures: It is not terrible to raise employee benefits, strengthen corporate management, and promote industrial upgrading. What is terrible is whether or not the problem can be viewed correctly.

Difficulties in the employment of auto parts companies are more common nowadays. After interviews and interviews with reporters, business personnel said that to solve the problem of employment difficulties, it is necessary to strengthen corporate management, promote industrial upgrading, and improve employee treatment.

The person in charge of a special vehicle and auto plastics company in southern Jiangsu told the reporter that the lack of staff caused the company's manpower shortage, working overtime, slowing production schedules, failing to complete orders on time, reducing R&D, technical management capabilities, and improving product quality. Limitation phenomenon. Despite the headaches of these problems, the person in charge clearly knows how to solve these problems. "Strengthen management, increase efficiency, upgrade industries, increase pay, and vigorously introduce technology and management personnel," she told reporters.

The person in charge also hopes that the government, industry, and news media will pay attention to the difficulty of recruiting workers and the difficulty in finding employment. We hope that the government can effectively supervise the implementation of the Labor Law, strengthen the management of enterprises, and use administrative means to slow this down. phenomenon. At the same time, she also called for and hoped that the news media could pay more attention to the workers' working environment, work intensity and rest, and advocate positive, healthy and upward development of the industry. The relevant staff of Guangdong Huayang Electronics expressed that he hopes the government can pay more attention to the rights and interests of migrant workers.
