Four Reasons Why "Labor Expenditure" Wraps Around Hardware Industry

Spring Festival 2011 is approaching, some hardware employers have started to fight for retentionists and recruiters. In order to retain employees, some hardware industries provide employees with round-trip tickets, increased overtime wages and incentives for overseas travel, and even some companies It is also the launch of the “Most Humanoid Vacation Notice”: In addition to the company’s prescribed time off, the workers’ leave will be deducted by three times before and after the Spring Festival.

The four major reasons for the shortage of labor tangled in the hardware industry are that industries with obvious traditional features such as hardware, every end of the year and the beginning of the year, the "labor shortage" demons will come and let the hardware business owners panic. However, what is the reason? Let the hardware industry get rid of the "labor shortage" of the claws?

Recently, the author through the industry QQ group, the forum and the general hardware practitioners across the country to carry out some simple exchanges, topics mainly for the labor shortage before and after the Spring Festival, the majority of people reflect the reasons can be attributed to four points: First, some of the company's working conditions Poor impact recruitment; Second, hardware companies belong to stream operations, work is monotonous, strict labor discipline; Third, the industry generally low wage levels; Fourth, the first generation of workers aging, new generation of workers mentality impetuous, disdain to the low-level labor, choose jobs The concept is not clear.

A netizen in Zhejiang reported that the wages paid by hardware companies are too low. With the rise in commodity prices in 2010, the consumer index has continued to increase. Under the slightest wage remuneration, some colleagues chose to change jobs or change jobs. He also said that the consequences of ultra-low wages are a serious vicious circle: In general, workers in their factories have no surplus except for daily consumption and breadwinners. For those so-called technicians, the situation is not much better. Low wages are a loss of many technical training and re-education opportunities. This led to the inability of the hardware industry to innovate, the low end of the product is serious, and the efficiency of the company is not high.

In addition to workers’ dissatisfaction with wages, the working environment is also an important factor. “Formerly working in a mold factory in an industrial zone in Nanhai, Foshan, the work is monotonous. It is surrounded by factory enterprises. It is far from the urban area. There is not even a cyber cafe in the industrial area. After work, nothing goes to sleep in the dormitory. It feels very boring. "Worker Ronaldinho, born 90 years ago, said that he has been working for two years, because he always felt that working in the same factory was too boring and he had already changed his job.

As the first generation of labor has entered an ageing population, structural changes have also taken place in the labor market in China. Most of the new job-seeker groups are dominated by 80s and 90s, accounting for 70% of the total. Because of the increased level of education, wages and salaries and the working environment are not the only conditions for job hunting. They pay more attention to the selection of career prospects. Relatively some new laborers are unwilling to engage in first-line general-purpose work in the assembly line, and their employment mobility increases, causing a shortage of employment in the hardware industry.

Although the hardware industry can take the fight to overcome the "labor shortage" before and after the Spring Festival, it is always a temporary solution. If you want to completely get rid of the labor shortage, it is recommended that the hardware industry provide employees with more career development space while improving the salary and working environment.
