After The Spring Festival, "Labor Shortage", How Can Logistics Enterprises Solve The Problem?

The festive and peaceful festival is still continuing, and the spring breeze full of hope has brought the tide of returning to work. For China, where everything is recovering, many industries are looking forward to this surging tide "coming more violently".

After the Spring Festival every year, the phenomenon of "labor shortage" in enterprises is common, especially in the Yangtze River Delta and the Great Bay Area, where the industry is developed. When interviewed by the media many years ago, the relevant personage of China Regional Economic Association said that in the past 10 years, the Spring Festival has been the most prominent period of "labor shortage". Take the logistics express industry, which plays an increasingly important role in the economic operation, for example: at present, many front-line couriers have not returned to their posts, and some outlets of major companies have not officially started. Many logistics companies have increased incentive measures for returning to work, such as reimbursement of return tickets and improvement of welfare benefits.

An exception is the focus on enterprise customers and the main time-limited express transportation Cross express There is no "labor shortage" after the Spring Festival. Just after the official Spring Festival holiday, most of the trans express outlets have quickly resumed operations. In the logistics areas of production enterprises and in the streets and alleys of large and medium-sized cities, we can see the most "little brothers", that is, busy purple figures.

1. Nian Wei's affection and enthusiasm for returning to work

"I want to see my relatives quickly before the festival, and my friends quickly after the festival." This is the mental journey of a front-line employee who has started to work across express transportation during the Spring Festival.

This year's Spring Festival travel is the first after the central government optimized and adjusted the epidemic prevention policy. After two years of "celebrating the New Year on the spot", our nation's long-standing family culture has finally been released, and the flow of the crowd has been reproduced in an epic way. Although the cross express has opened the "Spring Festival does not close" service, many employees who miss their loved ones still choose to go to their hometown to reunite with their loved ones.

Many people in the industry will take advantage of the Spring Festival as a buffer to find better job opportunities during this period, and some people will ask for more days off to extend the time spent with their relatives in their hometown. So it is not surprising that enterprises have structural labor shortage after the Spring Festival. But for most people who have crossed the border, it is also very urgent to return to their posts and fight side by side with their partners as soon as possible after a warm Spring Festival.

The enthusiasm for returning to work comes from the warmth brought by the team. The front-line employee of Cross Express said that during the Spring Festival at home, he often remembered the time when he worked hard with his partners, and "the sense of achievement is very addictive". Those who are happy after completing the tasks again and again, and those who are happy after receiving the hard work again and again, especially the big family of the company has brought warmth to everyone.

2. The warmth of spanning and the long-term passion of the team

Relatively speaking, Logistics industry The front-line staff also belong to the new employment group under the current economic environment. The industry has a great liquidity, especially after the Spring Festival, there will be a cyclical shortage of labor. A few years ago, relevant departments had made statistics that the average voluntary turnover rate of logistics couriers was more than 30%, and more than 80% of couriers worked in a network for less than one year. Some insiders said that in order to solve the problem of "labor shortage", it is not enough to rely on salary increase alone. What couriers need more is long-term welfare security, and what leapfrog express has done in these aspects is industry benchmark performance.

We have built our own canteens and dormitories across express transportation, provided shuttle services to and from work, and provided libraries, complete skills training and rich entertainment activities for employees. In the cold winter, the work of front-line employees will be affected by weather and other factors. Every year, cross express will provide cotton padded clothes and medicines in a timely manner to ensure everyone's health. No matter how low the temperature is, everyone's enthusiasm and spanning time will not decrease.

At the same time, Cross express It also pays attention to deepening the life of employees, caring for their sufferings, and giving care and help to employees in difficulty. As early as 2017, employees and their immediate family members (parents and children) who were announced to be eligible by Transrapid could apply for funding through the internal communication software "Transvoice - Transpublic". In 2022, on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the establishment of express transportation, two subsidy projects will be launched again for employees and their children. This donation has greatly alleviated the living difficulties of employees and improved the education of their children. It is the warmth across the express transportation, which has contributed to the employees' long-term love for the team. "Everyone for me, I for everyone" is such a force.

Conclusion:

According to the data released by the railway department, the spring transportation period in 2023 will be from January 7 to February 15. It can be predicted that the "labor shortage" after the Spring Festival will actually improve in the next half month.

After the Spring Festival, how can logistics enterprises solve the problem of "shortage of construction"? More enterprises with feelings and warmth like Cross Express are needed to bring tangible care to the hard workers working at the front line of service. It is also the unanimous recognition from customers and employees that proves the continuous success of cross express.
