What Should A Boss Do When His Wages Rise?

When we had a management consulting project in the first phase of the project, the assembly workshop had a very good effect. It not only increased efficiency, but also increased the wages of the workers. But confusion also came.

The boss called me and said, "I didn't expect that the wage of the assembly workshop would be increased so much that many of the employees in the assembly workshop got more than 3000 or even four thousand or five thousand, and the rest of the workshop staff would go there." He asked me what to do.

He means that he can adjust the unit price. He said it was not impossible to get the money, the staff. wages Go up, doubled, but the benefit they created for me also went up, but the problem is I can't go up in the whole factory.

The company has nearly four thousand people, ranking the top three in the industry. He said, "I can adjust the wage of the assembly and not drop it. I can bear it, and I am very happy, but the question is what should I do with the injection?" What about my printing? What about my former work procedure? Some of our workshops, such as injection molding, have a lot to do with equipment. I can double their wages. I can't afford it, because efficiency can not be doubled.

The situation of this enterprise is representative, many of our enterprises have this problem, that is, the wages of employees have gone up, and the boss does not know what to do.

I told him, first of all, credit must be given. what do you mean? I promised my employees this. Unit Price At least, during the period of commitment, it can not be changed. Any one thing has two positive and negative effects. If you don't drop it now, of course, it will affect the enthusiasm of other workshop staff. But now it has dropped, it will not affect everyone's enthusiasm, but trust. As long as "the boss of the enterprise does not count", the whole enterprise's management has lost a foundation, that is credit. Therefore, we must not reduce the price.

However, when the new product is pushed out, the unit price of the new product will be adjusted according to the actual situation. He is launching a large number of new products. Because the new products are different from the old ones, the unit price adjustment is reasonable.

In fact, the rise in wages of employees is partly due to individual employees. efficiency A large part of the promotion is due to the changes and improvements in our management. For example, we did a lot of preparatory work in the early stage. When we were producing, we didn't lack materials and production was smooth. For example, we turned it from individual homework to pipeline operation. These are all changes brought about by management, not all of them.

But if the unit price of the original product is adjusted, the workers can not understand and think the boss is not trustworthy. So what? It is possible to make some adjustments to the unit price of the new product after the original unit price expires, so that it does not involve the credit problem.

The most important thing is to turn bad things into good ones, so that other workshop staff can see that the wages of our assembly workshop workers have gone up and doubled, because we have done a lot of improvement work, such as technological improvement, control card making and management improvement. If other workshop staff can realize that improvement can bring so many benefits, it will raise a climax of improvement in the whole factory, which is what we want to see.

After listening to my advice, the boss suddenly saw the light and made adjustments according to my opinion. The enthusiasm of the staff was very high indeed. The next second changes will make our transformation more successful and more effective.
