Improving the quality of human resources in the private economic sector

After the merger, Phu Tho province has a population of more than 4 million, of which more than 1.9 million are of working age. The proportion of trained workers is about 73%, with degrees and certificates accounting for 35%. The labor structure has shifted in a positive direction: Industry accounts for 53%, services 34%, agriculture - forestry - fishery 13%. This is an advantage in attracting investment to the province. However, many enterprises are still facing difficulties in recruiting key staff and highly skilled workers. This affects productivity, product quality and competitiveness, especially for enterprises in the private economic sector.

The private economy is identified as one of the most important driving forces of the national economy, a pioneering force promoting growth, creating jobs, improving labor productivity, national competitiveness, industrialization, modernization and restructuring the economy towards green, circular and sustainable. However, in the context of international economic integration, private production facilities and enterprises are facing many difficulties and challenges. In particular, the issue of human resources and high-quality labor has emerged as a difficult problem for many enterprises.

Mr. Nguyen Van Chung - Director of Chung Thao Co., Ltd., Yen Lang Commune said: With many preferential policies such as fuel allowance, diligence, lunch allowance, etc., in recent years, the labor situation at the enterprise has been quite stable. However, it is still inevitable that the labor force "stands on this mountain and looks at that mountain" so there is still the case of "job hopping", causing labor shortages for a certain period of time.

Mr. Phung The Manh - Director of MenDo Production and Trading Joint Stock Company, Vinh Yen Ward shared: As an enterprise operating in the field of mechanical engineering, the Company pays special attention to training, attracting and recruiting high-quality, highly skilled human resources... However, in reality, the Company is also suffering from a "brain drain", because after recruiting and training, many workers move to work in other units and businesses. This is unhealthy competition of some businesses, they offer many preferential policies in a short time to attract workers. Therefore, in addition to the preferential policies, in the past time, the Company was forced to balance and increase salaries for many highly skilled workers to retain them.

Talking to us about the issue of human resources, Mr. Phung Anh Tuan - Head of the Job Introduction Consulting Department, Vinh Phuc Employment Service Center said: The situation of fluctuations and labor shortages, especially labor in private units and enterprises is not new, because the psychology of workers often wants to work in large companies, with good income, stable life; enjoy many social welfare regimes that private enterprises have not yet implemented. On the other hand, due to the lack of labor, there is unhealthy competition between enterprises; some enterprises offer salaries, bonuses and many preferential regimes to attract skilled workers from other enterprises to their units. Or simply according to the psychology of workers, the new job will be more satisfactory, with conditions to learn, improve skills or promotion opportunities.

According to Mr. Tuan, to attract and retain employees, businesses should have good treatment policies, creating motivation for employees to work such as: reasonable salary, bonus, and benefits to create long-term attachment of employees to the business; create a dynamic and friendly working environment, promote and reward excellent employees; organize periodic tours, sports , cultural and artistic movements, create conditions for employees to exchange, learn, and regenerate their labor force; create healthy competition right from each position and job so that employees can maximize their own capacity...

To improve the quality of human resources to meet the needs and recruitment requirements of enterprises, recently, the Provincial People's Committee has directed the Department of Home Affairs to regularly conduct surveys to assess the employment needs of workers and the recruitment needs of enterprises in the area. From there, promote the work of directing, propagating, training, and career orientation in accordance with the capacity, qualifications, conditions and capabilities of workers. Direct vocational training institutions to coordinate with enterprises to develop plans, organize, train, and bring students to visit and practice to improve skills and training quality... At the same time, closely coordinate with localities and job introduction centers to support enterprises in recruiting workers.

It can be affirmed that abundant and high-quality labor resources are one of the important factors contributing to increasing investment attraction and creating success for businesses investing in Phu Tho.
