It is forecasted that in the fourth quarter of this year, the labor market will continue to develop in the direction of increasing labor recruitment. Many businesses operating in the fields of electricity, electronics, garments, etc. are still recruiting many unskilled workers, including seasonal workers, to meet production and business needs before Tet.

Add long-term policy

Many workers have thought about changing jobs, but a clean working environment and good welfare are the factors that "retain" workers and keep them attached to the business.

Ms. Bui Thi Tham, an employee of Autel Robotics Vietnam Co., Ltd. (VSIP Industrial, Urban and Service Park) said that she has to travel about 20 km to get to work every day. Because of the hardship and time-consuming commute, she once intended to transfer her job to a company near her home. What makes her worried and nostalgic is that the current working conditions are very good. The factory is clean and cool. Although the business owner is a foreigner and there is a language barrier, he often greets and encourages the workers and rewards them with bonuses, so Ms. Tham decided to continue working with the company.

Not only creating a friendly working environment, special caring mechanisms will keep workers, especially workers from other provinces, in Hai Phong, attached to the Port City.

Ms. Phi Thi Loan, Head of the Dinh Vu Industrial Park Trade Union Presidents Club, informed: Currently, enterprises in Dinh Vu Industrial Park employ more than 21,000 workers. Of which, the rate of workers from other provinces working here accounts for 42.2%, the rate of workers renting accommodation accounts for 11.3%... Enterprises from now until the end of the year need to recruit about 4,200 workers. To continue attracting workers, many union Presidents have proposed that functional sectors continue to pay attention to and develop social security infrastructure (kindergartens, swimming pools, sports areas, hospitals...) to serve workers in and around the industrial park.

Representatives of the City Labor Federation inquired about the employment and living conditions of employees of Global Material Handling Company Limited.

Mr. Nguyen Van Quyet, Permanent Vice President of the City Labor Federation, said: Based on the suggestions from workers, especially workers from other provinces working in Hai Phong, the City Labor Federation advised the City People's Committee to strengthen coordination with relevant departments, branches and units to remove obstacles in procedures for workers to buy social housing, and supplement auxiliary works near industrial parks and worker dormitories.

The Hai Phong City Labor Federation also continues to support grassroots unions in connecting, cooperating, and organizing free training classes to improve workers' vocational skills and foreign languages, contributing to building a fast, dynamic, and professional workforce.
