Don't Leave The Pay Increase: The Four Big Gateways Raise The Salary To Keep &Nbsp;

It is not only migrant workers who want to raise wages, but also high wages in the field of Internet technology. The four portals have raised salaries for employees this year, not just inflation, but also the lack of talent in the whole industry.

In the early, when the wages of migrant workers in the Pearl River Delta were led by Foxconn, another wave of pay rises took place in Internet companies. This is the most generous history of the Internet's four largest portals.

After the Spring Festival in 2011, the Sohu almost raised staff salaries by around 10%, and Tencent in April. Per capita raise 9.3%; Sina's salary increase in May was around 14%; NetEase portal's salary adjustment in June covered about 60% of the staff, the average salary range was 25%.

In August 9th, the statistics released by the National Bureau of statistics showed that CPI rose 6.5% in July and hit a new high. Previously, the four major portals have raised their collective wages. They all mentioned inflation. But in fact, the more important reason is that at present, the portals are in the second round of expansion, and many of the channels of the portals must be split and listed.

In order to attract and retain talents, the four portals, apart from the competition in salary, are also welfare treatment, equity incentive, intern treatment, and even compete in the way of school enterprise cooperation.

"Internet professionals are scarce and valuable. There are not many really good talents, and they all go to start their own businesses. The new talents who enter the field will be retained in an ultra normal way. Xi Dan, senior vice president of human resources at Tencent Inc, told the Southern Weekend reporter.

Depend on what to keep people.

From the financial statements of the first quarter of 2011, Tencent ranked first in terms of total revenue, NetEase second. Sohu third Sina fourth. The revenue of Tencent is 4.1 times that of NetEase, 5.5 times that of Sohu, and 9.6 times that of sina.

The wealthiest Tencent have the most talent in attracting talent.

In addition to raising salaries, Tencent announced the launch of the "housing plan" at the end of June. As long as three years of work in Tencent and the purchase of first suite, the grass-roots employees can apply for an interest free loan with a quota of 200 thousand -30 yuan and 6 years of repayment. The total interest free loan will amount to 1 billion yuan. At present, the first batch of applicants has already received the loan.

Tencent's salary and welfare system is also very jealous of the industry. The phrase in the circle is that Tencent staff Annual income includes 15 months' salary, of which the year-end bonus is above 40 thousand yuan. Because the year-end bonus is directly linked to performance appraisal, Tencent's most lucrative gaming Department has the highest income. It has even been handed out to the Department for 48 months' salary.

In addition, according to the staff of Tencent, they have an annual subsidy of 1500 yuan per year, and they also issue 30 Q coins a month. Tencent also insured Group employees for commercial supplementary medical insurance. In addition to the original social insurance, employees also enjoy accidental medical insurance, major illness insurance, maternity insurance and group life insurance.

Even as a kind of welfare, Tencent employees still have the opportunity to go to the local counties and cities sponsored by the Tencent charity foundation to become "county magistrates".

In terms of equity incentive, the Tencent stipulates that when employees' capabilities and performance reach a certain level, equity incentive can be applied. In 2010, the Tencent board decided to award 3 million 660 thousand shares and award 1454 employees, with a reward of over HK $400 million at the closing price of HK $130.4.

By contrast, other portals have more pressure to retain talent. As a result, they raised more than Tencent.

Since the establishment of the portal branch of NetEase in March 2010, NetEase has begun to independently calculate its finances. Whether or not eager to spin off the market, the NetEase portal Department has the greatest pressure on the four major gateways. In the first quarter of 2011, NetEase's online game service revenue reached 1 billion 400 million yuan, while advertising revenue was only 127 million yuan. The staff of the portal business department complained a lot about the "clean water gate".

Li Kuankuan, director of Public Relations Department of NetEase, told the Southern Weekend reporter that the gateway is the most important department of NetEase. The salary increase is the fixed mechanism of the NetEase portal department. Every year in January and July, there are two opportunities to raise salary for NetEase portal, but this time the salary increase is larger.

A NetEase insider revealed that the official statement was inflationary pressure, which was actually a forced act to prevent digging. In the NetEase, most of the salary increases are technical personnel, and portal editors pay less. Technicians accounted for 60% of the salary increase.

However, NetEase will not take part in the salary adjustment within one year, and 25% will be the overall salary adjustment range, not to everyone. For many ordinary employees, because the base is not high, a pay increase of 25% is not exciting. Ding Lei said in 2010 that the average annual salary of NetEase employees is around 200 thousand yuan. But NetEase frontline employees are far from the data.

The welfare benefits that NetEase is worth mentioning is that in the "five risks", the state pays part of the company's payment and all the expenses paid by the company.

The Sohu's approach was to raise a large salary in early 2011, while many employees were promoted. In the past, a pay increase was not necessarily a promotion.

Scramble for reserve talents

The use of interns is a major feature of the Internet industry. Many years ago, the purpose of using interns by portals was basically to look at the cheap labor force of interns. Especially in the game Department of the portal, the interns do not employ them one after another.

In the past, some Tencent's low-level managers also used volunteer workers to save costs. Many university students strive to become a volunteer college student in order to get Q coins. Later this method was stopped by the company headquarters.

In recent years, with the shortage of talents, the attitude of the portal to interns who reserve resources as a talent has also been transformed from crushing to training. The treatment of interns has also been improved accordingly.

According to a rough survey by Southern Weekend reporter, Sina and NetEase interns earn almost every month, which is around 1500 yuan. Sohu is calculated according to 90 yuan per day, and some departments of sina are paid by the day and 120 yuan per day for interns.

Tencent can give interns a subsidy of 150 yuan per day. In addition to salaries and subsidies, trainees are also provided with tutors for personal counseling.

The Tencent also stipulates that for summer interns, if the location of the internship is located in the same city as the location of the home or school, it will enjoy the transportation subsidy and accommodation subsidy provided by the company. At the same time, the interns also enjoy the public recreational facilities in the office environment, and the welfare of overtime night snack and shuttle buses. The company also buys accidental injury commercial insurance for interns.

In 2011, Tencent recruited nearly 800 interns, who will become the seeds of next year's Tencent 2500 graduates recruitment plan.

In fact, the competition for talents in the Internet industry has extended to universities. The Tencent even worked with colleges and universities to launch a directional training program. For example, the Tencent innovation class of South China University of Technology selects 15 to 20 students a year. The Tencent Inc selects engineers with professional theoretical level and teaching ability, responsible for the teaching of Internet frontier technology and other courses, and instruct innovative class students to participate in Tencent product research and development.

In August this year, Tencent announced that it plans to produce 300 million yuan and create an open platform for school enterprise cooperation in the next three years.

Tencent has recruited graduates every year in Colleges and universities. It has always been a model of teachers and younger brothers. Every year before the recruitment of Tencent, employees will be organized to return to their alma maters for publicity. For key talent, Tencent adopts top management tactics.

A few years ago, Xi Dan, vice president of Tencent, saw a student in the junior college of the Chinese University of science and technology, but the other side wanted to start a business. Xi Dan did not give up. He invited the student to visit the Tencent every year. Later, the student went to a video website as a technical director, and eventually he came to the Tencent.

Screw on machine

Although the remuneration of the Internet industry is at a higher level than other industries, behind the high salary is the fact that the intensity of work is very large. Many people in the industry have dubbed themselves "IT migrant workers".

The turnover rate of the entire Internet industry is very high. The General Editors of general portals will only stay for about two years. If you can work steadily for two or three years, you will be the oldest employee in the enterprise.

An internal employee of sina told the Southern Weekend reporter: "sina is too focused on the hard and fast indicators of content and speed. When employees are stressed, they feel that they are machines, and the competition is fierce inside."

For example, a football editor of sina will get more than 8 manuscripts early in the morning. Because many football matches have jet lag with China, football editors need to stay up late to watch the ball.

"Portal is a machine, you are a screw on this machine, and it will go wrong if you move it." A Sohu employee said. Many of his colleagues jumped to the official website of the people's network. Because of the integration of the people's network, the staff can compile and collect, and play a bigger role.

Because of a narrow field of view and narrow vision, many portals have little chance of transformation, resulting in the idea of making money by using the company platform. Some web editors will collect gray income such as fee for drafts, while Sina even has internal staff involvement in selling micro-blog pay plus V services.

The newly expanding sector has greater mobility. In the game sector, many people quit after less than 1 years of work. The first day and the second day of the attendance system in many company's game departments are at 6 in the morning, that is to say, before 6 o'clock in the morning, it's the first working day. Therefore, the employees in the game industry are called "cannon fodder groups". In order to catch up with the progress of the company, the continuous operation of "cannon fodder" has become normal.

This has caused many practitioners to go to the same company instead of a competition agreement. For example, Tencent's so-called competition prohibition compensation is actually more than 200 yuan per month's salary, and the corresponding requirement is to avoid Tencent's field within two years of leaving office. But the problem is that at present, Tencent is almost involved in every field of the Internet, which will mean that they can no longer get involved in the Internet.
