"Re-employment" of BOCOG Workers

In the new and deeper relationship between the government and the market, China's national system is quietly changing its form. From the Asian Games Organizing Committee to the Olympic Organizing Committee, the changes in the source and destination of personnel well illustrate this point.

On August 8, 2008, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Zhou Hua? A little depressed and a little excited? . Excited because the goal of fighting for it for five years has finally come true; Because the opening of the Olympic Games means that she will face the problem of re-employment.

Enter the Olympic organizing Committee

Zhou Hua is one of the first openly recruited staff members of the Olympic Organizing Committee. At the end of 2002, the Olympic Organizing Committee held its first public recruitment. Such open recruitment is rare in previous large-scale competitions in China, and the competition is fierce. ? More than 3,000 people applied for more than 40 positions? .

After written examination and interview, Zhou Hua became one of 40 employees in early 2003. ? As soon as the organizing Committee released the recruitment information, I wanted to attend by myself. ? Zhou Hua told the reporter of China Newsweek. To this end, she gave up her job in a public institution of the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation.

It's not just the Olympic complex that makes Xiaotian choose the Olympic Organizing Committee. In 2006, just out of school, he found his first job in a well-known electrical appliance company in Guangdong. At the end of February, 65438, he quit his job and went back to Beijing for development. For Yu whose registered permanent residence is not in Beijing, it is his long-cherished wish to stay and work in Beijing.

Looking for job opportunities, I caught up with the new round of social recruitment of the Olympic Organizing Committee. Both springboard and opportunity? . In 2007, Yu took the recruitment examination and officially became a staff member of the Olympic Organizing Committee. In April, the headquarters of the Olympic Organizing Committee was assigned to Laoshan Bicycle Hall as the business manager.

Of the more than 4,000 staff members of the BOCOG, more than 3,000 were selected and employed by the BOCOG 1000. Recruited by the society and Yu are called? P 1？ . Correspondingly, there are also secondments from various units? P2？ And the interns of the Olympic organizing Committee? P3？ . In the past, the organizing committees of large-scale events did not have such a division of labor: the organizing committees of the Asian Games and Universiade did not conduct similar open recruitment.

Wei Jizhong, the 72-year-old chairman of the Sports Committee of the Olympic Council of Asia, participated in the whole preparation process of the Asian Games. Wei Jizhong said in an interview with China Newsweek. There was basically no recruitment during the Asian Games, but all of them were seconded by various units, including the Beijing Municipal Government, the State Sports Commission and some large enterprises. ?

The planning system dominated the preparatory work in that year, and various specific projects were also assigned to various government departments. For example, the affairs related to accommodation are assigned to Beijing No.1 Commercial Service Bureau; Food and beverage matters are assigned to Beijing No.2 Commercial Service Bureau. Then the Beijing Municipal Commission of Commerce manages the two as a whole. ? It was under unified leadership at that time. ? Wei Jizhong said.

At the Universiade in 2000, this system was replaced by a more market-oriented model: the operation mode of state-owned enterprises contracting related work appeared. Is the personnel work of the Universiade Organizing Committee still going on? Secondment? Main mode.

He, the current vice-president of Beijing Sport University, was seconded to the Press Center of Boxing Hall of the Press Department of the Asian Games Organizing Committee as the director. ? The salary is paid by the school, and the Olympic Organizing Committee gives some subsidies symbolically. ? The staff of the Press Center of Boxing Hall are all transferred from various units.

Since then, whenever there is a big competition, He will be seconded to the competition organizing committee. Today, in addition to seconding personnel, OCOG also employs a large number of people from the society. ? BOCOG BOCOG Project Department has 16 people, some of whom are recruited by social workers. ? For this change, he thinks: one reason is that the Olympic organizing Committee is too big: it is impossible to choose the tone; More importantly, the mechanism of our country has changed, and the employment system has also undergone great changes. First of all, there is a market; There are such people in society, and they have sources; Employing people is not limited to people in small circles in the past, but more is to use social resources. ?

Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee will continue this combination of secondment and social recruitment. ? We have all these methods. ? The staff of the Personnel Department of GAGOC told the reporter of China News Weekly.

? Feel the older unemployed youth?

? Some of the secondees of the Asian Games could not go back, so a Beichen Group was formed at that time. The people who participated in the Olympic bid for the first time were mainly seconded by various units, and the second time we organized the Austrian delegation. ?

1990 Asian Games closed, and the wholly state-owned enterprise Beichen Industrial Group Company was formally established. The main business is real estate development, conferences and exhibitions, property management and retail business. Wei Jizhong said in an interview with China Newsweek. Some people were seconded from the government, but we didn't let them go back to the government, so we made them the backbone of Beichen Group or Aobei Group. At that time, the problem was solved by setting up a large comprehensive group to arrange these people. ?

As for the personnel arrangement for the 2008 Olympic Games, Wei Jizhong, as a senior consultant of BOCOG, once suggested setting up a similar group company to absorb and utilize these trained talents. Lao Wei's suggestion and Athens' practice: implement market-oriented operation. The contract between OCOG and social recruiters clearly indicates that they will choose their own jobs after work.

? Choose your own job after the game? Among the staff of previous Olympic organizing committees? Accustomed to it? . The Olympic Organizing Committee was established in the form of a company, and the government only gave municipal support. After the work, the CEO lost his job? . ? I think it is normal to be abroad. ? Yu said.

Is this model different from the past? Does the government have the responsibility to the end? The pattern is very different. In an interview with China Newsweek, Wei Jizhong concluded: They are completely different social models. Simply put, the 1990 Asian Games is completely a political and social model. By the time of the Olympic Games, it had begun to become a model of civil society.

September 10, the last race of Laoshan Bicycle Hall. When the national flag was raised for the last time in the venue, many staff felt a little lost, and the busyness in the early stage would slowly stop with the slow rise of the national flag.

On this day, let colleagues in the department order a cake. Colleagues had their last party in the office, and everyone took a group photo as a souvenir. Colleagues from different places will go their separate ways. Yu's colleague Lu Liang returned to his original job. Lv Liangyuan, a teacher from a university in Beijing, was seconded to the Olympic Organizing Committee as the volunteer manager of Laoshan Bicycle Hall. Other colleagues have also returned to their original units.

I felt that my things suddenly disappeared, and so did those people around him. ? You will never be asked to do anything again. It's really hard to stay at home. ? Yu said. How to find a new job is a problem that he has to face again. In Xiaotian's own words: Feel the older unemployed youth. ?

Special civil service examination

? P 1？ At the beginning of recruitment, students are prepared to face unemployment after work. But many? P 1？ They also believe that the Olympic Organizing Committee will help them solve their work problems.

? What is the solution to the work? Is it a recruitment platform, or is everything arranged for you? Nobody knows. ? Yu told the China reporter.

? It used to be said that everyone's whereabouts in April this year were arranged in advance, but in fact they were all gossip. ? Before the formal resettlement plan came out, colleagues were also circulating different opinions. It was not until the end of September that I received the formal arrangement.

? I must have thought about looking for a job when I first came here, but I must be optimistic at this time, because there is still a year and a half left. With such a good platform, won't you be full of hope for the future? ? Yu said.

On March 28th, 2008, the post-match placement of BOCOG employees was officially launched. On this day, BOCOG signed an agreement with Sinopec Group, China Offshore Oil Corporation, State Grid Corporation, State Power Development Corporation and Beijing SASAC on post-games personnel placement.

In order to sign this agreement, the Olympic Organizing Committee took the initiative to contact these units. ? An agreement signed on the basis of mutual communication and consultation. ? Xu Zhijun, Deputy Director of BOCOG Personnel Department, introduced. According to the agreement, these units will recruit a group of BOCOG staff according to their work needs.

One day after the news came out, I received a phone call from my family. The family members who saw the news thought they would appear after the game. Are you sure? Working in these large state-owned enterprises. An intern of the Olympic organizing Committee also heard similar rumors: It is said that 80% of their P 1 will go to PetroChina and CNOOC. ?

In fact, at the job fair, PetroChina provided more than 100 jobs for the Olympic Organizing Committee, while CNOOC provided more than 10 jobs, which was far from 80% of the10.5 million people.

However? Organizational and institutional advantages? Still plays an important role. On June 65438+1October 65438+June 2008, Beijing Vocational College of Labor and Social Security held a special civil service selection examination for the staff of the Olympic Organizing Committee. In this selection, Beijing provided 100 civil servant positions for BOCOG staff, and 600 people took the exam. In 2008, the number of national civil servants registered has exceeded 1 10,000.

I didn't get the chance to take the exam. According to the Civil Service Law and the relevant regulations of Beijing, I have no Beijing hukou or master's degree, so I don't have the conditions to apply for the exam.

On the second day of the civil service examination, Yu got an opportunity to apply for a job in an enterprise. 10 June 17, Beijing Talent Building held a special job fair for BOCOG employees. ? Basically, my colleagues have seen everything they can see. ? At this job fair, 64 enterprises and institutions such as PetroChina and Sinopec provided 1500 jobs for 1753 BOCOG employees. The ratio of 1: 1. 17 is hard to see at other job fairs.

Xu Zhijun, deputy director of BOCOG Personnel Department, said in an interview with China Newsweek. One of the purposes of this is to give full play to the organizational and institutional advantages and help these staff to better choose jobs and find jobs after the Olympic Games. Another purpose is to fully and effectively allocate these high-quality international talents honed and trained by the Olympic Games to civil servants, enterprises and institutions. ?

Many companies are optimistic.

? Selection is a two-way process. ? After passing the interview, I was informed by the bank to have a unified physical examination. This means that Xiao Tian will move towards a new job.

Staff who have been screened by the Olympic Organizing Committee and have Olympic experience are valued by many enterprises. Wei Jizhong said in an interview with China Newsweek. When I founded BOCOG, I said: BOCOG is a big school to train talents. ?

? Put forward suggestions and hopes. We attach great importance to this matter from top to bottom We think this is also a very good way to attract high-quality talents. We will try to recruit some people when the position is right. Miss Li from the Personnel Department of China Offshore Oil Corporation told China. We also believe that these people are very competitive in the market. ?

? The average age is 35 years old, more than 50% have a master's degree, and more than 20% have returned from studying abroad or working overseas. ? Many enterprises and institutions are interested in the staff of the Olympic Organizing Committee. Xu Zhijun, deputy director of BOCOG Personnel Department, told China Newsweek: China Development Bank alone recruited 2 18 employees from BOCOG. Zhou Hua is one of them.

In addition to enterprises and government departments, the Guangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, the 9th National Universiade Organizing Committee and the 6th East Asian Games Organizing Committee will also be the choices of these Olympic talents. This kind? Organizing Committee? It is common for staff to change jobs to different organizing committees for their own careers.

In preparation for the 9th National Universiade and the 6th East Asian Games, Tianjin Personnel Bureau specially recruited professionals in opening and closing ceremonies, investment promotion and planning for the Olympic Organizing Committee. Mr. Liu, the relevant person in charge of Tianjin Personnel Bureau, said: Tianjin's recruitment model is that the organizing committee is recruiting, but the identity of the staff will fall to specific departments. If you used to be a cadre at or above the division level, you can enter the education commission, sports bureau and other government departments; If you are not a cadre at or above the division level, you can join universities and other institutions and then join the organizing Committee in the form of secondment. If the staff do not want to stay in Tianjin, they can also take the form of flexible mobility: after the relevant work is over, they can leave and stay on their own.
