Kong Mengsen had also heard about what the group did on the other side of the river, Jiangzhong. They built a special staff community, complete with property management and a supermarket.
And a kindergarten!
The dormitories had single rooms and suites, which could meet the living needs of single young people and couples.
I heard that the community was built particularly well.
'Boss, Mr Zheng, if the dormitory community is built outside the factory, then employees will spend a long time on the road if they go back to rest at noon!'
A trip takes ten minutes, which doesn't seem like a lot.
But it takes half an hour each way.
Han Songlin: 'It's fine. Considering that employees have a need to take temporary breaks inside the factory, we will also build special multi-person dormitories inside the factory, so that employees can stay temporarily in the factory.'
Kong Mosen can't say anything else, he can't say anything else!
He can only sigh, his boss is really generous.
Zheng Lin: 'In addition, the previous dormitory building in the factory will have to be demolished.'
Kong Mosen is afraid of this.
'Well, there are quite a few old workers living in the dormitory building, what will happen to them if the dormitory building is demolished?' Kong Mosen has worked at Changxing Machine Tools for more than ten years, and he has also asked many questions from the older workers.
If Kong Mosen doesn't mention this problem today, he will definitely feel bad about it.
Han Songlin: 'Don't worry, the old dormitory building will not be demolished until the construction of the staff quarters is complete. Once the staff quarters are built, the old workers will be moved into the new houses. Xinghai Group, which has taken over Changxing Machine Tool, will also take over these old workers, who are the past of Changxing Machine Tool. By taking them in, we are showing that we have not forgotten our past.'
Zheng Lin sat beside him, smiling but not saying a word.
Xinghai Group could have said that it would let these retired workers move out.
But Han Songlin did not let this happen.
An enterprise is like a person, it also has a past, present and future. To forget the past is the greatest betrayal of oneself, and one does not deserve to have a future.
Han Songlin had to do things this way. The machine tool industry is a very important industry that values inheritance.
We now mostly hold a critical attitude towards the artisan household system of the Ming Dynasty, but this system had a very important characteristic that allowed the Ming Dynasty to never run out of artisans.
Highly skilled artisans, in particular, were never in short supply.
The Ming Dynasty began to lag behind the West in terms of technology, but it was still able to imitate Western technology.
Why?
Because the Ming Dynasty craftsmen passed on their skills from generation to generation without interruption.
Of course, we can't do what the Ming Dynasty did, and the Ming Dynasty household system also had many problems, but there are things we can learn from it.
For example, the passing on of skills.
Han Songlin needs to show everyone that he values retired workers and address their concerns, so that people can feel at ease working in the factory.
This generation of people working in the factory, and the next generation, if they are suitable, can also work in the factory, and even the third generation.
These workers, who have been exposed to the industry since childhood, are not as inferior as those who are exposed to industrial things at the age of 17, 18, or even in their 20s, right?
After all, people who will inherit their parents' occupations in the future generally do so because they like the occupation themselves.
If they don't like it, they definitely won't do it.
Of course, Changxing Machine Tools will continue to attract new blood.
The influx of new blood is what ensures the vitality of the enterprise.
The worst thing would be for the enterprise to become like a pool of stagnant water, and that would really be the end.
Kong Mengsen stood up excitedly: 'Boss, on behalf of the fifty-one retired veteran workers, I thank you!'
At this time, there were not many retired workers living in the dormitory building.
After retirement, many workers returned to their hometowns and did not live in the factory.
Most of these 51 retired workers were from Yandu, or had settled down in Yandu, and now their entire families were in Yandu.
Han Songlin waved his hand: 'No need to thank you, let's get back to business.'
'Changxing Machine Tool currently has too few R&D personnel, and must recruit more. Whether it's by offering high salaries or playing on emotions to lure people from other companies, I have one request: the R&D personnel must increase month by month.'
Without talent, how can the set goals be achieved? At this time, Changxing Machine Tool's R&D strength is too weak, and it is necessary to vigorously recruit talent.
The reason why the country of China is so terrifying is because we have so many people; and when there are many people, it means there are many talented people.
We can invest a large amount of intellectual and other resources into a single research project, and then improve a certain technology in a short period of time.
Kong Mengsen was a bit at a loss. It was not easy to recruit R&D personnel. In the past, quite a few university students were assigned to Changxing Machine Tool.
However, very few of them were able to stay.
It was even pitiful.
It's quite good if you can keep two people after a year.
Changxing Machine Tool can't say it's not recruiting people, so it recruits students from technical colleges and technical schools; of course, it also recruits a lot of junior high school students and high school students.
If a company can't attract talent to stay, then no matter how good the company is now, its future is doomed.
'In June, a large group of university students will graduate. From April onwards, the human resources department of Changxing Machine Tool will have to work closely with the group's human resources department to recruit enough talent from the relevant colleges and universities. It is better to recruit too many than to recruit too few.'
By recruiting more people, you can naturally select the best from the best.
Some large companies vigorously implement an elimination system and then recruit a considerable number of people into the company every year.
But before these newcomers join the company, the human resources department has already decided their fate.
They are there to be eliminated!
In this department, if some old employees cannot be eliminated, then the newcomers will be.
In any case, newcomers are dispensable in the project.
Xinghai Group also adopts a system of elimination at the end of the line to a certain extent; they will not directly say that they will be fired, but they will be transferred to other positions, although there may be exceptions.
However, if you want an exception, you have to go through an application process.
This procedure ultimately requires the signature of Han Songlin to approve the exception.
Why go through such a troublesome procedure just to prevent people from casually applying for exceptions?
There are not that many exceptions in the world!
As for the R&D department, there is no end-of-cycle elimination system, but there is an assessment.
If the continuous assessment is very poor, it will be given special attention, and then it will be reviewed to see if it is suitable for work in the R&D department.
The review report must be submitted to Han Songlin.
If Han Songlin feels that there is a problem with the audit report, he will simply send it back, and he may even want to meet the person being audited directly.
Recruiting people from school?
Can you recruit people?
'Kong, is there a problem?' Han Songlin asked, surprised to see Kong Mengsen's doubtful face.
What problem is there with recruiting people from school?
Kong Mengsen: 'Boss, before, the factory also recruited people from school, and these students all ran away after just a couple of days when they came to the factory!'
When Kong Mingsen mentioned this, he felt very helpless and a little angry; of course, he was angry that the factory did not have the conditions to retain these students.
Wait, the conditions to retain students!
Han Songlin thought Kong Mingsen was considering something: 'I dare not say nationwide, in the entire southwest region, and the central provinces, our Xinghai Group is still very famous. There is really no shortage of people coming to recruit from colleges and universities.'
The Xinghai Group is now very famous.
For example, outstanding seniors and juniors who return to the school to host a sharing session or the like are strongly supported by the Xinghai Group.
This kind of sharing session is very helpful for promoting the Xinghai Group.
The Xinghai Group is not well-known among the general public, but it is well-known among groups of students majoring in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, computer software, electrical automation, etc.
