In the last days of February 2022, many businesses in industrial parks and clusters in the province still posted to employ more workers. In the other direction, the situation of production workers at large enterprises has stabilized. In order to retain workers, businesses have had their own ways of employing, supporting accommodation, and increasing basic salary to increase income and other offers.

Employment from the countryside, accommodation offered
Since February 8, Tan Nhat Wood Company in Nam Tan Uyen Industrial Park has imployed 400 new employees from provinces and cities to ensure enough workers for the business to be back into stable operations. It can be said that, in the context that the province is currently short of tens of thousands of workers, it is not easy to employ hundreds of workers in a short time. Enterprises must have flexible employment methods and take good care of workers' lives.
Mr. Nguyen Van Dung, Chairman of the Trade Union of Tan Nhat Wood Company, said: “After the epidemic, the company received many new orders and needed hundreds of additional workers to ensure production. To ensure production, the company needs to recruit 400 new unskilled workers. This is not an easy job in the context of the current shortage of human resources. Therefore, the company's leadership is very flexible, offering many solutions in recruiting workers, along with employee caring."
The way of Tan Nhat Wood Company is to keep in touch with the workers who returned to their hometown before the epidemic, and partially offer the salary and bonus during the Tet holiday, and provide financial support for them to return to the business after Tet holiday. Seeing the care and attention, hundreds of laborers who returned to their hometown before the epidemic fully returned to work. Regarding the recruitment of new workers, the company actively contacted leaders of many provinces and cities in the North and Central Vietnam and sent employees to the recruitment site, providing financial support to go to the South to work. A part of employees directly rents inns, supports the first month's rent for new employees, and provides transportation for workers when there is no means of transportation. Company leaders give VND 500,000 a person, and the union VND 100,000 a person when workers come to work. After 3 working days, workers who have difficulties will receive an advance of VND 1 million to 1.5 million.
Compared to previous years, the basic salary at Tan Nhat Wood Company increased by nearly VND 5 million a month. Plus other allowances, the company can ensure employees to have an average income of VND 10 million a month. Those are just immediate supports. In the long term, the company is considering many other support options for employees such as pregnant women, young children, sick people, and long-term accommodation. Depending on orders and business profits, the company will deduct funds to take good care of employees' lives.
“Many think that my business is competing for human resources. However, I don't think so as in general, the life of workers in Binh Duong is higher than in other provinces and cities, but there are still many difficulties. Taking good care of workers will keep them and also improve their lives compared to before. I think this is necessary, because now the price of gasoline, oil or commodities is higher than before," Dung said.
Workers will stay with higher income
In the days after Tet, many businesses in Song Than 3 Industrial Park of Thu Dau Mot city struggled to recruit and find human resources, but Pro Actitve Global Co. Ltd. (DDK), specializing in the production of bicycle parts quickly recruited hundreds of new employees. In addition to the basic salary of about VND 5 million a month, plus allowances and overtime, the company ensures an income of not less than VND 10 million a person a month. In fact, many senior workers at the company have very high salaries from VND 15-25 million a month. Mr. Nguyen Ngoc Huu, a native of Ha Tinh province, a worker who joined the company in the early days of the year said: "Everyone wants to stay with their businesses, not "jumping jobs". However, the reality is that many businesses with very low income, it is difficult for employees to stick around for a long time, but business leaders have not changed the way they manage and take care of employees. I saw that DDK offered pretty good salary and allowance, so I applied for a job. I find the working environment quite good, the income is high, so I decided to do it. If the company can maintain the current level of income, there is no reason not to stay for a long time."
Mr. Nguyen Van Luong, General Director of ESquel Company (VISIP Industrial Park 1) said that taking care of employees' lives has always been taken care of by the company for many years, so the company has not had any shortages. labor shortage. However, in the context that many businesses are short of labor, the company must have a better care regime for its employees such as: Encourage workers to achieve high productivity, thereby having a salary increase and bonus regime. , increase salary. This year, although the state did not increase the regional minimum wage, the company still increased the basic salary for workers after the epidemic. In addition, the company encourages employees such as introducing people to work, there will be a bonus for the referrer; salary, bonus paid on time, never late salary workers.
In addition to the fact that businesses actively increase the basic salary, creating stable jobs to increase employees' incomes, businesses also pay allowances and advance money for new employees to work in the first week to have money spending and paying after a long Tet holiday instead of keeping 10 days' salary after the first month of work, which some businesses used to apply in the past. It is also the concern and care for employees to stay with enterprises in Binh Duong.
According to Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, the demand for labor recruitment in the beginning of the year of enterprises including the need to recruit new workers and to compensate for the number of employees who do not return to work about 40,000 employees. In which, the demand for unskilled labor accounts for about 20%.
