Less than 8 a.m. on the seventh day of the lunar new year, the drums and dragons and lions danced at the Shunde headquarters of Galanz Group, and the production line resumed its previous booming scene.
As soon as the construction started in the morning, Galanz's major manufacturing units have fully entered the state of full production. At present, most employees have returned to work. At the same time, before Galanz Festival, the recruitment of new spring 2022 has been started, and dozens of technician posts have been launched for the whole society. The relevant person in charge of Galanz told the first financial reporter that at present, the biggest demand is the technicians in the microwave oven industry, with an estimated demand of 2100 people.
According to the statistics of the Department of human resources and social security of Guangdong Province, Guangdong, as the largest economic province in China, the largest province of employment and industry and the largest province of migrant workers in other places, more than 8 million migrant workers from other provinces returned home for the festival before the Spring Festival. It is expected that more than 90% of them will return to Guangdong and return to their posts from the festival to the Lantern Festival.
First finance found in the interview that, like Galanz, a number of manufacturing enterprises in the Pearl River Delta had started the spring recruitment before the festival. Most of the required posts were general workers and technicians. Each family tried their best to offer generous salary conditions and benefits. However, with sufficient production orders, most enterprises still have a gap in employment.
manufacturing enterprises are busy recruiting
Before the Spring Festival, Nanxing Machinery Co.Ltd(002757) has published a post of "recruiting talents", which covers dozens of positions such as electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, Siasun Robot&Automation Co.Ltd(300024) welder, CNC lathe worker, apprentice and general worker.
Nanxing equipment is an equipment provider and intelligent manufacturing solution provider for home manufacturing enterprises. It is a national specialized and new "little giant" enterprise. Ms. Liu, deputy manager of the human resources department of the company, said in an interview with China first finance that about 100 people are expected to be recruited in this recruitment. At present, there is a large demand for technicians and engineering technicians.
"We started on the 10th day of the Lunar New Year (February 10), and the recruitment situation and situation are not very clear. On the whole, due to the epidemic, it is still difficult to recruit in the offline talent market, mainly relying on online recruitment and internal introduction." Ms. Liu believes that the recruitment difficulty this year should be similar to that of last year.
Fulikai medical supplies (Dongguan) Co., Ltd. resumed work and production on February 9, with a total of about 600 employees, and the return rate has reached 85%. Fulikai also has a relatively large employment gap. The recruitment of general workers is already in progress before the Spring Festival holiday.
Ms. Wang, the company's human resources administrative manager, said in an interview with China first finance that at present, the most lacking is general workers, with a gap of about 200 people. "Up to now, there are more external recruits than job seekers". The recruitment of the company is generally carried out through the introduction of old employees, the promotion of recruitment information on social platforms and offline recruitment near the industrial zone.
Fulikai borrowed more than 100 "shared employees" with the coordination and help of Dongguan municipal government last year, which once solved the urgent need. However, this year, "shared employees" have also become scarce. Ms. Wang said that there is no need to "share employees". At present, after the sporadic outbreak of the epidemic in China, it can be controlled quickly, and the production of enterprises can recover rapidly, so every enterprise is relatively short of workers.
Facing the increasingly severe problems of "recruitment difficulty" and "post stabilization difficulty" in recent years, enterprises have taken countermeasures from the aspects of improving employee welfare and strengthening the training of internal talent team.
Ms. Liu said that on the one hand, it is to strengthen the reward of recommendation, on the other hand, it is to train the talent echelon of reserve. For example, technicians will start with students, apprentices and general workers, give them training and train them internally. In addition, the government has held many activities of famous enterprises and schools in the past two years, as well as relevant talent introduction policies, which still have great support for enterprises. At present, the return rate of workers in Nanxing equipment has reached 91%, and production has begun to recover in an all-round way.
In order to ensure the return rate of employees, Galanz took many measures to stabilize the post, including installing central air conditioning in the general assembly workshop to improve the working environment, fully supporting air conditioning in the dormitory, further improving the staff canteen environment, issuing measures such as "taking the old with the new" and "helping the new workers" and internal introduction and reward schemes. In terms of staff training, the first-line technicians will take up their posts after full training, receive the technician training from Galanz business school through the implementation of the "full technician" strategy, and develop towards the path of "general workers - key posts - Industrial technicians - engineers".
more than 70% of enterprises hold orders for production for more than 1 month
Behind manufacturing enterprises' efforts to attract workers is the steady growth of production orders and the demand for expanding production and efficiency.
During the Spring Festival this year, the sales of Galanz household appliances increased by 20% year-on-year. In terms of foreign trade, Galanz's orders increased by more than 30% in the first quarter of 2022, and microwave ovens, ovens, refrigerators and dishwashers increased rapidly. Among them, the shipments of independent brands that have been deeply cultivated for many years continued to rise, becoming the main force driving business growth.
The relevant person in charge of Galanz told the first financial reporter that driven by the domestic and foreign trade business, the orders of enterprises are very sufficient at present. The orders received in the fourth quarter of last year still need to be further digested, which also puts forward a test for the improvement of production capacity throughout the year. In 2022, Galanz will support the production capacity of 150000 microwave ovens / day, and comprehensively promote the capital increase and production expansion.
Orders for Nanxing equipment are also growing steadily. Ms. Liu revealed that this year's output value target is to increase by 35%. At present, a plan has been made and production is being promoted according to the plan. Similarly, fulikai's orders have been scheduled to April this year. The current capacity constraints are mainly related to the shortage of manpower.
According to public reports, the Guangdong Provincial Department of industry and information technology visited the industrial economic operation of key cities and found that from the perspective of enterprise production scheduling, enterprise orders were stable and production arrangements were carried out in an orderly manner. At present, 70.2% of enterprises can produce hand-held orders for more than one month, of which 25.2% can produce hand-held orders for more than three months.
From the perspective of enterprise expectation, the production and operation of the enterprise is generally good. During the visit, nearly 90% of the enterprises expect good production and operation after the Spring Festival and the first quarter, and 89.8% of the enterprises expect flat or good production and operation after the Spring Festival.
Guangdong expands the scale of organized labor import
As enterprises resume work one after another and the demand for employment continues to increase, Guangdong Province and cities have come up with suggestions to strengthen employment security.
On February 9, the d2803 train carrying 600 Guizhou migrant workers left Congjiang station in Guizhou and arrived at Guangzhou south station at 13:33 on the same day, marking the prelude to the orderly return of migrant workers from other places to Guangdong after the festival.
This is the first batch of "point-to-point" customized special train for returning to Guangdong jointly planned by the human resources and Social Security Department of Guangdong Province and the human resources and Social Security Department of Guizhou Province. The passengers on the train are returning employees who have been employed in Guangdong before the festival, from Qiandongnan Prefecture, Guizhou Province. The human resources and social security departments of Guangdong, Guizhou and Yunnan will also organize two special trains to transport about 1200 migrant workers to Guangdong and return to their posts.
According to a document issued by the human resources and Social Security Department of Guangdong Province, before the train left, the human resources and Social Security Department of Guangdong Province provided more than 60000 vacant posts to the human resources and Social Security Department of the place of export according to the arrangements for the resumption of work and production of key enterprises and projects. Through the demonstration and guidance of the human resources and social security departments of Guangdong, Guizhou and Guangdong and Yunnan provinces, at present, it has driven all localities to organize and arrange more than 2000 special trains, 10 special trains and 3 charter flights, effectively expanding the scale of organized labor import.
According to the Guangdong Department of human resources and social security, since the Spring Festival, Guangdong Province has organized 604 Wuxi Online Offline Communication Information Technology Co.Ltd(300959) recruitment activities, recruited 11500 enterprises, released 498000 jobs, and helped achieve 83000 employment intentions.
It is worth mentioning that the recruitment docking activities inside and outside the province will be launched at the same time. We will not only strengthen the development of labor force in Guangdong Province, deepen the human resources cooperation between Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, Dongguan and other major industrial and technological cities in Guangdong Province, but also promote the docking between cities in the Pearl River Delta and central and western regions with rich labor resources such as Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and Sichuan, vigorously carry out inter provincial labor cooperation and introduce labor force from other provinces. Guangzhou, Foshan, Dongguan, Jiangmen and other cities will organize enterprises to carry out roving job fairs in cooperation areas between the East and the West according to the situation of epidemic prevention and control in the near future.
The University of industry and technology also carried out targeted support measures in combination with its own industrial development. Recently, Shenzhen human resources and Social Security Bureau and Shenzhen talent service center issued a recruitment gift package to provide a variety of employment services, which is expected to benefit more than 10000 enterprises and provide more than 100000 effective jobs.
As a trillion strong industrial zone in China, Shunde District of Foshan City has a self-evident demand for employment. From February 12 to 21, Shunde District plans to hold 10 industry specific job fairs in a row. In combination with the "4 + 5" strategic industrial cluster, Shunde District will classify industries such as smart appliances, mechanical equipment, information technology and modern services, and open a corresponding industry specific job fair every day. According to statistics, there were 2790 jobs in 55 enterprises in the first job fair, more than 680 job seekers entered the site, and more than 270 people initially reached employment intention.
