Labor Shortage In Peak Season! Exposed To The Epidemic Situation, It Is More Difficult For Textile Enterprises To "Retain" People Than "Recruit People"!

In October, the textile industry's luck seems to have improved.

First of all, textile enterprises in India and Southeast Asia could not guarantee normal delivery due to the epidemic situation, so ordering companies have transferred their orders to China. With the end of 2020, the once-a-year "double 11" is coming, and the fabric and clothing market in cold winter is also entering the hot market track.

At this moment, the emergence of the peak season, some factories encountered problems.

Due to the previous downturn, the factory gave workers a long holiday. Now it is found that these workers have returned to their hometown for employment, resulting in a gap in some positions in the factory.

The only way to do it now is to recruit again.

01. Difficulty in recruitment has become the norm

On the topic of recruitment difficulty, a few years ago has caused extensive discussion.

Many employees are very polite to the employees when they get back to work in the Spring Festival. In particular, the boss has promised to send the employees back to work a few years ago. Next year, all of a sudden, the boss will be kind to you.

If the time goes forward for more than ten years, the news we hear about new year's Eve is that some bosses deduct their wages and do not pay them. But now, basically, there are not many such cases. In addition to the severe crackdown of the state on such wage arrears, the most important point is that the boss who defaults on wages may not be able to recruit any more workers.

Xiaobian has some relatives who work in factories outside. Every new year, they will go home to work for the factory. As long as they take one person back to the factory when they go to work, they will get rewards ranging from 200 to 200. Some people who have extensive contacts will bring a lot of people.

All kinds of signs show that recruitment is no longer as easy as it used to be

So, where are the people?

This year, it is more and more difficult for the textile industry to recruit and retain workers, which has affected the sustainable development of textile industry.

On the one hand, with the pace of large-scale industrial transfer in the past few years, some underdeveloped areas in the central provinces or developed provinces have undertaken the textile and clothing industry transferred from developed areas, especially in the provinces with large human resources output in the central region, and workers return to their hometown to realize stable employment, which leads to the shortage of labor force in textile and garment enterprises in developed areas.

On the other hand, emerging industries have been pouring out in recent years, and this year's Spring Festival epidemic has further promoted the development of e-commerce industry. According to the report on China's employment market demand in the second quarter of 2020 jointly released by Renmin University of China and zhaopin.com, there will be three major industries that will recruit a large number of employees in 2020, namely, sales, catering services and express delivery.

Today's young people prefer to take out rather than enter the factory. This is indeed the situation of young people, and one truth is already clear, that is, emerging industries are emerging. In the face of such a fierce impact, if the traditional manufacturing industry wants to compete with emerging industries, it must make some changes.

It is more difficult to retain people than to recruit them

Most people only realize that the factory is "difficult to recruit workers". In fact, the main reason is that the factory "can't keep people".

In fact, the current labor shortage is not because there are no people, but because the personnel and positions do not match. In fact, there are still some people who are willing to engage in these basic jobs, but their skills can not meet the requirements of production, and now the production is so tight, it is impossible to spend too much time training a person. Therefore, the real labor shortage is mainly reflected in skilled workers and hard work.

The business of textile factories can be divided into peak season and off-season. The peak season is before May 1 of each year, with a large number of orders and more workers. In the off-season, the demand for labor decreases sharply with the number of orders.

China's textile industry has a thin profit margin, so it can only recruit temporary workers as much as possible. The result is that the vast majority of the textile industry is competing at a low level, because you spend three years training workers at a high cost, and you may resign overnight.

However, this year's production tasks have become fragmented due to the epidemic situation, and the positions of skilled workers have also moved more frequently. When textile factories want to expand recruitment, they don't want skilled workers. The competitors have already taken the lead.

Therefore, the problem of textile factories is that they can't keep people at present.

After all, if there is no way to keep people, no matter how many people are recruited, they will not stay long. In this case, it will be a waste of money in the end!
