After the festival, it entered the traditional “recruitment season”, and some key industries in Jiangmen also had different employment needs, and the “recruitment shortage” also appeared.

China's classical mahogany furniture base, more than 2000 companies are located in Xinhui, Taishan and other places, forming a new club Renyi classical mahogany street, Daze, Xiaoze mahogany furniture corridor. After the festival, Jiangmen classical mahogany furniture industry also had the problem of “recruiting the shortage of labor”. The small-scale or newly-established enterprises faced severe recruitment pressure. Some mahogany furniture workshops could not even recruit a technician. Get a high salary, or enter the raw materials overnight, pile up the factory to attract skilled workers to seek employment.

According to the analysis report on the supply and demand situation of the human resources market in the fourth quarter of last year released by the Municipal People's Social Security Bureau, the current supply of furniture in the classical furniture manufacturing industry in Jiangmen is much less. For example, the supply-demand ratio of the assembler is 1:0.77. Also around 1:0.86. Obviously, mahogany furniture industry technicians are hard to find.

Difficulties in recruiting: the boss looks at the face of the mechanic

Returning to the factory in advance for recruitment

The reporter came to the Lianhong Redwood Factory in Liantang, Xinhui, yesterday. Boss Abo told reporters that he returned to the new club from his hometown on the sixth day of the year and looked for carpentry who had not returned to his hometown. After a few days, he found seven or eight carpentry. But these woodworkers are almost identical, asking for a monthly salary of 7,500 yuan per person! This is 20% higher than last year. “This is equivalent to increasing the cost of the product. If the mahogany furniture is in a downturn this year, the cost of wages will increase and the company will lose money!”

"No way, no recruitment at this time, until the Spring Festival is over, when there are more workers coming back, but we can't compare these big workshops with big companies, and the skilled workers will run to them." Abo can only promise Their conditions.

In order to recruit technicians into the raw materials overnight

Lao Zhang, who is in his 60s, runs two mahogany furniture factories in Xinhui. He mainly produces African huanghuali and Burmese rosewood, and produces all kinds of antique furniture. Lao Zhang originally had more than 10 technicians. After the Spring Festival, he plans to expand production. More than 10 technicians were recruited. "Who knows that the Spring Festival has passed, half of the mechanics have said that they are no longer coming to work, because other companies have dug them out at high prices."

When the Spring Festival is over, Lao Zhang is looking for fellows and friends everywhere. He hopes to recruit more technicians. For this reason, Lao Zhang has paid a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan. "There were several batches of technicians who came to see the factory, but no one was willing to stay. "It turned out that the mechanics had seen the factory in Lao Zhang and thought that the old Zhang factory had less raw materials and no strength, so they were not willing to stay."

Yesterday, Lao Zhang had to go to the Guanlan Redwood Wholesale Market in Shenzhen and purchased 30 tons of Burmese rosewood. "Whether the price of raw materials has risen and fallen this year, as long as there are raw materials, they are procured and shipped back to the factory, so that they feel that we are a strong enterprise, and the raw materials are purchased for recruitment."

"The lack of skilled workers in Jiangmen traditional furniture enterprises is not only ours, but most of them are unable to recruit technicians. Many family workshops can only work for one family." Lao Zhang said.

Due to lack of skilled workers can not pay the goods

Lao Lei of Taishan Dajiang Town Fashion Redwood Furniture Factory has the same experience. Yesterday, Lao Lei told reporters that before the Spring Festival, customers ordered several sets of mahogany sofas. Originally, Lao Lei promised customers to deliver before the Spring Festival, but at the end of the polishing process, several sanders said 20 days before the Spring Festival. Going home early, saying go and leaving, no old mines to stay, several mechanics pick up the luggage and go home, the customer chasing the goods every day, the old mine can only drag and drop, Lao Lei calls every day to remind these workers to come back, but finally The mechanics proposed a 20% salary increase after the Spring Festival, and Lao Lei agreed to their request.

"Now the boss wants to see the face of the mechanic, when the mechanic is not happy, let go and go!"

Talking about the dilemma: talent training is not easy to jump

Lao Lei told reporters that in recent years, the lack of skilled workers in the Jiangmen mahogany furniture industry has always existed. However, it is more difficult to recruit technicians this year. It is necessary to invite skilled workers with higher skills, both to raise salaries and to solve all aspects of the mechanics.

Lao Lei introduced that due to the popularity of mahogany furniture in recent years, Xinhui, Taishan and other places alone, in recent years, the number of large and small mahogany furniture enterprises has increased by at least 1,000, and mahogany furniture is made by engraving, woodworking, polishing. Mainly due to the increase in the number of enterprises, these types of work are in short supply. The traditional mahogany furniture enterprises generally suffer from “technical bottlenecks”, and the enterprises are surprisingly attracted to attract skilled workers and retain talents.

"But it takes at least a year to train a skilled woodworker. The engraver has a longer time. With the emergence of a large number of mahogany furniture companies, these technicians are in short supply, and it is not easy to train talents!" Lao Lei said.

“Now the mechanics in this area are moving very fast. They often work in this company for a few months and are dug up by other companies. Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary small workshops to recruit technicians and it is even more difficult to retain talents!”

It is understood that there are currently more than 2,000 large and small mahogany furniture manufacturers in Jiangmen. According to the average of 10 technicians in each company, the number of employees is 20,000. Therefore, the masonry furniture industry is currently lacking.

Finding a way: the sense of belonging retains talent

In view of the current lack of skilled workers in the mahogany furniture industry, Master Li, who has been engaged in the production of mahogany furniture for 30 years in Xinhui, told reporters that the difficulty in recruiting workers in the mahogany furniture industry is very prominent. Some powerful companies prefer to hire skilled workers with high salaries, but relying on “high salary” alone will not only increase the cost, but also fail to meet the needs of skilled workers. Some family-owned enterprises often fail because they cannot recruit technicians.

Master Li introduced that his company gave the skilled workers the right shares, so that the employees felt that they had to make a piece of furniture, have a score for them, and also received the family members of the employees in the factory to cultivate their families to do some simple labor. In this way, Master Li’s business has never left an employee for more than 10 years.

Mr. Yang from the Xinhui District Redwood Furniture Association introduced that the traditional handicrafts are constantly being lost, and the society lacks educational institutions to train talents in this field, resulting in the lack of success in the mahogany furniture industry.

At present, the skilled hands of carpentry and polishing workers are even more scarce. Many furniture companies have dragged down the pace of enterprise development because they cannot recruit people. However, the employment space of traditional industries is very large. Taking Jiangmen as an example, after graduating from college students, the monthly salary in ordinary jobs is about 2,000 yuan. However, the monthly salary of skilled workers in Xinhui mahogany furniture industry is more than 7,000 yuan. Therefore, It is imperative to train skilled workers in this area. Some vocational schools in Jiangmen should assume this responsibility.
