What is the reason for thinking about the shortage of labor in valve companies?

The "labor shortage" is not new in our country. As early as 2004, there was a situation of "labor shortage" and "recruitment difficulties" in the eastern coastal areas and developed areas. This year's "labor shortage" has been earlier, more fierce than before, and it has become large. Most valve companies are guilty of this. Therefore, those entrepreneurs who have taken the lead in completing "changing concepts, upgrading industries, and improving technology and management levels" may become leaders in the future industry.

Inter-Pool Valve Network reporter learned from individual valve companies in Wenzhou Yongjia, in order to retain employees, to make every effort to solve the number of big play "warm card", "friendship card", the most common practice is to invest in staff, but these measures It still cannot fundamentally solve the problem of "employment shortage."

So, what are the reasons for the "labor shortage"? Is it a blow to the valve industry or an opportunity?

First of all, the direct reason for the "labor shortage" is that after the socio-economic development, labor-intensive enterprises have caused a large demand for the labor force due to the expansion of production scale. Second, with the continuous economic development in the central and western regions, the demand for skilled workers and skilled workers has increased, coupled with relatively low cost of living and local complexities and other factors, so that workers choose to leave high consumption costs and basic social rights are not guaranteed. Eastern coastal city.

The most direct way for companies to solve the "labor shortage" is to increase salary treatment, but to find the root cause to solve the problem, it is necessary to "prescribe the right medicine."

According to the analysis of the valve industry, most enterprises have relatively backward production technology, low product profits, large demand for workers, and backward business philosophy. After the mid- to high-end products gradually become the future market demand, they seriously affect the operating profit of enterprises and the space for survival and development. Therefore, some valve companies that use price war as a competitive advantage have no more energy to consider the rights of workers.

At the same time, a new generation of migrant workers is generally “three highs and one low—high level of education, high professional expectations, high material and spiritual enjoyment, and low work tolerance.” They are accustomed to the prosperity of cities and fast-paced lifestyles; most companies lack Humanistic care, ignoring the basic social welfare of workers, does not give a certain sense of belonging to the company, resulting in the loss of labor.

How to treat the "labor shortage" impact on the valve industry? Jitong Po Valve Network Xiaobian believes that everything has two sides, we must dialectically view the problem, and in a sense, at least "labor shortage" is not necessarily a bad thing for the valve industry.

“Using labor shortage” is like a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it squeezes the profit of production and operation of valve companies, increases the cost burden and improves the salary of employees, but on the other hand, it will also force SMEs to improve their labor efficiency and shift to less labor and production. Higher value-added companies with higher yields. "Recruit labor shortage" of the valve industry, in fact, the most fundamental thing is not to force wages, but to force the reform of the profit model, forcing industrial upgrading.

With the rising cost of enterprises, most small and medium-sized valve companies that rely on low-profit margins to survive will not be able to retain people for a long time by raising workers' salaries. The introduction of advanced machinery and equipment, and the improvement of automation and intelligent production levels are the operators. Need to think about the fundamental issue.

Those entrepreneurs who have taken the lead in completing "changing ideas, upgrading industries, and improving technology and management levels" may become leaders in the future industry.
