Why is it difficult to recruit workers in today’s manufacturing industry?

First, because today’s young people have fundamentally changed their outlook on career choices; second, because the current employment environment is also different, and young people have more choices.

The labor shortage in Guangdong’s manufacturing industry some time ago has once again demonstrated that if the current manufacturing industry does not change its management model, employment environment, and welfare benefits, it is reasonable to be unable to recruit workers. No matter how much labor there is, it cannot solve the labor shortage in the manufacturing industry.

Each of the three major problems prevalent in the manufacturing industry is an insurmountable gap for workers.

1. The work is boring

The working environment in the manufacturing industry is very boring. In addition to the rumbling sound of machines, workers also have to face rigid assembly lines every day. , one stop lasts all day, and the work content is extremely boring and repetitive. Just imagine, among the colorful young people nowadays, who can stand this kind of environment? Many people leave after less than a week.

Foxconn’s Terry Gou used robots to replace assembly line workers many years ago, firstly to save more labor costs, and secondly because it will be difficult to retain people in such boring jobs in the future. factors causing instability to the enterprise.

So, our current manufacturing bosses should not just think about saving costs to make money. We must think about how to create a good working environment and atmosphere for corporate employees. This is the top priority. thing.

2. Salaries are not high

Nowadays, many manufacturing companies still rely on manufacturing to make money, and do not rely on brands to create profits. In this way, the company's profits are not high, and employees' salaries will inevitably be low.

In order to recruit employees, some companies advertise a salary of 5,000-6,000 yuan per month in job advertisements, but the actual salary they receive is only 3,000-4,000 yuan. Including various overtime expenses.

There are also some manufacturing companies that have rigid management and poor efficiency. The management often deducts penalties or delays wages, etc. In the current employment environment, these will discourage workers. Make another choice.

So, our current manufacturing bosses should not just think about being made in China. We should become a Chinese brand and create profits for employees instead of relying on profits from exploiting employees.

3. Limited growth space

Manufacturing companies’ daily work is repetitive and mechanical, and employees do not get better growth opportunities, even if they have worked in a certain position for ten years , eight years later, I am still a novice in the workplace after I come out, and I still have to start all over again when I go to another unit.

Today’s young people are definitely unable to calm down, lose their composure, and are even less willing to do this kind of work where you can see the whole thing at a glance.
