Thinking about what is the reason for the shortage of valve companies?

Summary of contents: “Labor shortage” is not new in China. As early as in the eastern coastal areas and developed regions in 2004, there was a situation of “labor shortage” and “recruitment difficulties”. This year’s “labor shortage” is earlier than ever before. Meng, 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.

From Wenzhou Yongjia's individual valve companies, we learned that in order to retain employees, make every effort to solve problems, and play "warm card" and "friendship card", the most common practice is to invest funds for employees, but these measures cannot be fundamentally resolved. The "labor shortage" problem.

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 labor in 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 increases, coupled with relatively low cost of living and local complexities, etc., 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 the city and fast-paced lifestyle; most companies lack Humanistic care, ignoring the basic social welfare of workers, does not give a certain sense of corporate belonging, resulting in the loss of labor.

How to treat the "labor shortage" impact on the valve industry? The author believes that everything has two sides, and it is necessary to look at the issue dialectically. 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 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 are only long-term measures to increase workers' salaries, and the introduction of advanced machinery and equipment to increase 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.
