There are front-line employees who have made technological innovations and saved more than 3 million yuan in costs for the company, but they have not been rewarded accordingly.

Whether the treatment, use and evaluation of skilled workers can be matched attracts attention——

[Innovation is on the front line] The "new eighth-level workers" are here, and skilled talents are eager for more incentives

　　The "new eight-level worker" system has arrived. While looking forward to improving the treatment level of skilled talents and extending the development channel of skilled talents, front-line workers also look forward to implementing the matching of skill levels and performance wages. Provide more incentives to carry out technological innovation.

　　"The 'ceiling' is too low, which has caused senior technicians to leave the front line. After the development channel is extended, this phenomenon will be greatly improved." During the two sessions this year, Lu Xindi, a representative of the National People's Congress and a senior technician of FAW Jiefang Dalian Diesel Engine Co., Ltd. The proposal to establish a "new eight-level worker" system at the national level has now become a reality.

　　On April 27, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued the "Opinions on Improving the Vocational Skills Grading System for Skilled Talents in the New Era (for Trial Implementation)" (hereinafter referred to as the "Opinions"), clarifying the occupational skill grade sequence of "new eighth-level workers" and further unblocking skills Talent growth channel.

　　This allows high-skilled talents, including Lu Xindi, to see more hope for improved treatment, career promotion, and innovation and development. At the same time, the matching of skill levels and performance wages, the loosening of enterprise vocational skills evaluation and employment conditions, and the development of skills for skilled talents There are expectations that technological innovation provides more incentives.

"Wages for jobs that haven't changed in 10 years should change"

　　"The 'new eighth-level worker' makes young technicians like me feel more motivated." said Zhang Wenliang, a maintenance fitter and the monitor of the machine repair class of Shenyang Mint Co., Ltd.

　　The 31-year-old Zhang Wenliang is a senior technician of tool fitter and assembly fitter "Double Material". He became famous when he was young.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of young technicians including him, the company evaluated and hired him as a deputy chief technician, enjoying the middle-level deputy position of the enterprise.

His industry has also set up chief technicians, but he prefers to have an "official status" recognized by the whole society.

At the moment, he is preparing to declare a super technician, and he is waiting for the notification of the evaluation of the new skill level.

　　"Old Grade 8 Workers" is a skill level system established along with the wage grade system.

"New Grade 8 Workers" is not a copy of the "Old Grade Eight Workers". The "Opinions" clearly establish a general establishment that is connected with the national vocational qualification system, compatible with the lifelong vocational skills training system, combined with use, and matched with treatment. Vocational skill level system for skilled talents in the new era.

　　"It's 1,800 yuan per month, and the salary for the position that hasn't changed in 10 years should change." Li Gang, a senior welder technician at an auto parts company in Shenyang, told reporters that even if he was rated as a senior technician, the salary of the post has not increased. He hopes to be a professional After the skill level is extended by two levels, the treatment will increase.

This is confirmed in the "Opinions", "The personnel employed in the post of super technicians shall enjoy the same treatment as those with senior professional titles; the remuneration of chief technicians can be determined with reference to the standards of the senior management personnel of the unit or determined according to the actual situation, and shall not be lower than that of super technicians. Remuneration".

　　In January this year, 63 people including Hong Jiaguang, a CNC lathe worker from China Aviation Development Shenyang Liming Company, successfully passed the professional and technical qualification review of Liaoning Province. Hong Jiaguang became the first skilled worker with a positive senior professional and technical title in Liaoning.

In recent years, the state has promoted the integration of career development, which has also provided a new channel for the growth of skilled talents.

More eager to be treated, used and rated to match

　　"Senior technicians only get 80 yuan more per month than junior workers, how can they have the motivation to practice skills?" Li Gang said.

The enterprise has always implemented a piece-rate wage system.

In September 2018, the company began to issue skill allowances, ranging from 0 yuan, 10 yuan, 20 yuan, 40 yuan, and 80 yuan for junior workers to senior technicians.

"The results of the skill level evaluation are not closely related to wages and salaries. More work is achieved, but there are not many people with high skills." Li Gang believes that no matter how perfect the vocational skill level is, the salary matching cannot keep up, and good policies will be difficult to "implement". root".

　　The vocational skill grading system is not only an evaluation system for skilled personnel, but also a system for skilled personnel that takes into account training, use, and treatment.

The 38-year-old Li Gang has worked in the company for 16 years. He has successively applied for two utility model patents and obtained 10 technological innovation achievements, saving the company more than 3 million yuan in total cost.

Today, Li Gang receives an average monthly salary of 4,100 yuan.

However, equity incentives, technology investment, annual salary system, and job dividends have nothing to do with him.

There is a problem with the incentive mechanism for skilled talents in the enterprise, which made him have the idea of ​​leaving the front line and turning to work.

　　More importantly, it is necessary to break through the "evaluation without hiring".

Li Gang's apprentice Li Xiaoli has been hired as a technician for 10 years. According to the company's current regulations, Li Xiaoli is only eligible to hire a senior technician if Li Gang transfers or retires.

The company stipulates that the setting of the vocational skill level of senior technicians and below, from senior technicians to junior technicians, shall not exceed 5%, 10%, 15%, 30%, and 40% of technical jobs respectively.

There are 20 welders in the branch where Li Xiaoli works, and only one senior technician can be hired.

If the proportion remains the same, even if there are super technicians and chief technicians, Li Xiaoli has no chance, let alone enjoy the corresponding level of treatment.

　　Skilled talents can evaluate professional and technical titles, and their identities can be converted and innovation conditions are equal.

Li Gang was deeply touched by this.

It is also in the enterprise to solve major technical problems. Front-line workers are recognized as "five small" achievements and rewarded with 200 yuan, while technical staff are recognized as process improvement rewards of 5,000 yuan.

Li Gang said that if you still look at your identity, instead of performance and results, you will still not be able to attract young people with skills.

Expect good policies to "take root"

　　"I hope that the country will pay attention to the status of compound and integrated occupations in the classification." Zhang Wenliang said that as a fitter, if you touch the equipment on the production line once, you will know that with the improvement of automation, the fitter's operation, circuit principle and process flow are correct. Integrating with each other and seeking high-quality and sophisticated in a single type of work can no longer meet the needs of enterprises for compound talents.

After Zhang Wenliang learned to be a lathe, he also learned and mastered the skills of 6 types of work including electrician and milling.

He expects that the country will pay more attention to the evaluation of skilled talents for "generalist" positions.

　　He also believes that the evaluation elements of vocational skills should be multi-dimensional and multi-faceted.

Junior workers and intermediate workers are still engaged in specific jobs in a single position, while technicians above senior workers must not only have stronger skills, but also must be able to use technology to organize teams to solve complex problems, while technicians and senior technicians need to solve design problems. They even undertake the task of imparting skills, make outstanding contributions to the cultivation of skilled personnel, and play a key role in the technological progress and development of local and industrial enterprises.

　　The new "Vocational Education Law" stipulates that the implementation of vocational education should be based on the needs of economic and social development, combined with occupational classification, occupational standards, and occupational development needs, formulate education standards or training programs, and implement academic certificates and other academic certificates, training certificates, and vocational qualification certificates. and vocational skill level certificate system.

Chen Lixiang, vice president of the China Association of Vocational and Technical Education, said that a good policy "takes root", and it is necessary to sort out the correlation between the original skill level structure and relevant policies and systems such as employment services, education and training, labor management and social insurance, and cooperate with them. Adjust, supplement and refine.

　　In January 2021, the "Guidelines for Salary Distribution for Skilled Talents" issued by the General Office of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security pointed out that the effective operation of the career development channel needs to be assessed, that is, to clarify the assessment methods for various types of personnel to enter the rank channel, according to the assessment results. Organize appointments to achieve the ability to go up and down; the salary structure of skilled talents can be composed of post salary units reflecting the value of the post, ability salary units reflecting the ability difference, and performance salary units reflecting the performance contribution.

　　Li Gang believes that the introduction of a large wave of policies, regulations and guidelines shows the country's determination to increase the training of skilled personnel.

In the near future, a skill will be able to "fragrance".
