Why Does This Textile Enterprise Send Thousands Of Gold Medals To Thousands Of Employees Every Year?

For more than 10 years, a grand ceremony will be held to reward a gold medal with pure gold.

Guangdong Yida Textile Co., Ltd., located in Gaoming District, Foshan City, Guangdong, in recent years, thousands of employees have been smashed by this ritual full of happiness every year.

Although in recent years, due to many factors such as industrial gradient transfer and international situation changes, manufacturing enterprises in the coastal areas of the Pearl River Delta and other coastal areas are generally faced with "recruitment difficulties" and the phenomenon of employee turnover is serious. But in Guangdong, the large textile enterprise with more than 20 thousand employees is running a "warm current" in the "winter of employment": not only the staff turnover rate is far below the average level of the industry, but also the number of employees returning more and more, and the number of employees who have been employed for more than 10 years increase year by year.

"Overflow warm current" in "employment and cold winter"

7 years ago, 22 year old Fang Rui graduated from Wuhan Textile University and went to Guangdong to work in Yida. 5 years later, he suddenly decided to quit job and go to see the outside world. After the "turn to the outside", Fang Rui thinks, "it's still good enough to pay timely, and there is a lot of room for staff to learn and improve." Last year, Fang Rui returned to Guangdong Yida, now is the quality assurance director of accessories packaging plant.

Liu Ximei, 32, resigned to work in the supermarket in 2006 because he was not used to the three shifts in Guangdong. After that, he continued to job hopping and returned to Guangdong in 2014. "Because it gives me a sense of stability." Liu Ximei said, in the supermarket, her income is only 2000 yuan; in Guangdong, the deduction of five risks and one gold, the monthly salary comes to more than 4000 yuan, and now only on the day shift.

In Guangdong, many employees like Fang Rui and Liu Ximei have "returned" in recent years. Take front-line staff as an example. In the first 7 months of 2019, 1746 employees were recruited, of whom 502 were reemployed and accounted for 29%.

"We are always welcome if our employees are willing to come back." Huang Kunyu, managing director of human resources in Yida China, says that employees who return heavily to employees have a deeper sense of belonging and a stronger sense of belonging.

Pure gold medals gather employees' sense of belonging

In Guangdong, reporters found an interesting phenomenon: the average age of employees is large, the average age of employees is 34 years in the bayberry branch factory, and the average age of employees is 36 to 37 years in the Gaoming branch.

This shows that Guangdong has a large proportion of old employees who have been in a longer time. The annual turnover rate of employees is about 30%, which is the affirmation of Guangdong's corporate culture.

Long term stable wage income and comprehensive welfare care make Guangdong employees feel a great sense of belonging.

The average salary of the first-line employees who deducts five risks and one gold can reach 4000 yuan to 4500 yuan, higher than that of other factories in other parts of the Pearl River Delta region.

Every year, Yida will hold ceremonious ceremonies to award the gold medal to the old staff who have been in the employment for 10 years, 20 years and 30 years. In 2016, a total of 1228 people; in 2017, a total of 1580 people; in 2018, a total of 1172 people, "each card is embedded in pure gold, full of sincerity."

Every year, Yida sends a farewell ceremony to the retiring old staff, bringing flowers to them.

Since 2014, with the Open University of China, we have invested about 8000000 yuan to provide education services for nearly 1300 front-line workers. Set up 16 stylistic clubs, every year, tens of thousands of employees are involved in various activities.

The reporter saw at the cafeteria cafeteria cafeteria on the third floor of Yida Gaoming factory, where there are more than 10 dishes in each dish, and all kinds of dim sum and fruit are dazzling. "All employees are allowed to eat here, with a uniform standard of 13 yuan per person. There are more cheaper options on other floors. " Ma Weiping, general manager of Guangdong Yida Textile Co., Ltd., pointing to a busy young girl, told reporters: "this is the manager of the catering management department of the company, the undergraduate and master degree of Tsinghua University, and the doctor of Hongkong University of science and technology. Currently, he is responsible for the catering of more than 8000 employees. All of our meals are handled by ourselves, not to the third party, to ensure that our employees are safe to eat, nutritious and healthy.

Data show that over the past 5 years, the annual turnover rate of employees in Guangdong has reached an average of around 2%, far below the industry average.

Old employees do not want to go, and new employees are fighting for it. Guangdong's employment is forming a virtuous circle.

Employees and enterprises grow with each other.

A full sense of belonging inspires the creative potential and dedication of employees and grows together with enterprises.

Zhang Xiong, an old employee, was only educated in junior high school when he arrived in Guangdong in 1991. Later, she was admitted to the National Open University in the company and obtained a college diploma. Encouraged by the company, she constantly groped for research and developed the three generation of three point automatic machine, which increased the production efficiency to more than 3 times of the previous manual production, and the passing rate increased to about 99%. At present, Zhang Xiongyan has obtained two national technology patents, and has won two awards such as the China Science and technology progress award awarded by the Federation of Chinese textile industry and the three prize of Guangdong provincial science and technology award. Chen Jianfeng, a veteran employee for 23 years, has a similar experience with Zhang Xiong Yan. Only junior high school educated, he has earned an undergraduate diploma and has grown into an excellent technical worker.

Over the past 5 years, the "Zhang Xiong Yan" and "Chen Jianfeng" of Guangdong have independently developed 41 kinds of automation equipment, increasing the automation rate of weaving and knitting to 77% and 39% respectively. Huang Kunyu said, "Yida is no longer a labor-intensive factory in the traditional sense, but a high-tech textile enterprise."

At present, Sino US economic and trade frictions have had a certain impact on Guangdong. However, reporters learned that although foreign orders declined, Guangdong's production and operation were still steady: in 2017, the output value reached 1 billion 300 million US dollars; in 2018, the output value reached US $1 billion 360 million.

"In the face of challenges, we are confident that we will tide over the difficulties through developing new markets, adjusting the proportion of customers, upgrading and upgrading our industries and talents, rebuilding and optimizing production processes, improving product quality and high added value." Huang Kunyu said.
