In dealing with the problem of unqualified employees, most state-owned employers dismiss them and recruit new staff while foreign enterprises offer training to bring employees up to the required standard, the Shanghai Morning Post reported today.
According to a survey of five domestic companies, most of them would contracts will employees the found to be un- or under qualified.
Unlike domestic companies, foreign enterprises pay a lot of attention to training. The human resources supervisors of four foreign enterprises surveyed all had their own training plans. They have drawn up three to five year product development plan and train each of their employees as part of that plan, said a spokesman with a US company in the Minhang District.
Though domestic companies offer less training to their employees, they have piles of training plans, most of which are left on the shelf, according to the survey.
It is shortsighted of domestic companies to do so, said an industry analyst. Many state-owned enterprises are not capable enough of drawing up long-term development plans so it is hard for them to establish mid and long-term training plans, the analyst said.
