During the epidemic season, Biti's Company opened more factories in Tra Vinh to attract workers and avoid passive production chains.
In order to solve the problem of labor recruitment, while reducing costs and creating jobs for local people..., many businesses in Ho Chi Minh City have invested in opening factories and setting up more production workshops. export in provinces and cities.
Although she left town to return to her hometown during the 2021 epidemic season, Ms. Cao Thi Nhu (36 years old, from An Giang) continues to stick with her old company in her hometown. “As a worker in Ho Chi Minh City, with an income of about 8 million VND/month, I and three colleagues invited each other to share a small motel room, but the house fee plus electricity and water each month also cost nearly a million VND. If you save and live as much as you can, it takes about 40,000-50,000 VND for food and drink every day, not to mention other living expenses; The train goes home for the holidays, New Year... so I don't have much money each month. Going back to the hometown, the money for the house is not lost, living expenses are only one-third of that in the city," Nhu calculated.
The trend of moving factories with workers to their hometowns of many city businesses is forecasted to become more popular after the labor shortage crisis in Ho Chi Minh City due to the impact of the Covid-19 epidemic. As an enterprise with more than 40 years of experience in the market, specializing in exporting products to the US and Western Europe, having a good brand name and remuneration regime... Biti's still cannot avoid common difficulties in recruiting workers. especially in the post-pandemic period. Therefore, bringing the factory to follow workers back to the province is considered an effective recruitment solution for Biti's today.
“In 2021, right at the time of the 4th outbreak in Ho Chi Minh City, we have opened another factory in Tra Vinh to receive workers here” - General Director of Biti's Company Vuu Le Quyen shared. Accordingly, the factory in Tra Vinh was built with an area of phase 1 of 100,000 m2, with a total investment of 600 billion VND, including three production lines with a capacity of 5 million pairs of shoes and 3 million fashion bags. each year for export and domestic consumption. Biti's leaders informed that at the factory in Tra Vinh, the recruitment of workers is very convenient and effective, with about 1,500 workers. At Bien Hoa factory (Dong Nai province), the recruitment is also very positive. However, at the factory in Ho Chi Minh City, enterprises have difficulty in recruiting workers because many workers have returned to their hometowns and have no intention of returning.
To cope with the shortage of labor, for many years, some manufacturing enterprises have moved their factories to the provinces or redistributed production stages. During the recent Covid-19 epidemic, the factory of Nha Be Garment Corporation in Ho Chi Minh City was heavily affected by the application of the "three-in-place" production model, the shortage of labor, and the lack of partners. embroidery, weaving, washing, dyeing stopped working... the factories of this unit, which were opened in 10 provinces in the western, central and Central Highlands regions, were operating effectively, recruiting labor for the home. machines in the provinces a lot easier.
Similarly, Phong Phu International Joint Stock Company (Thu Duc city) has more than 16,000 employees, but factories are spread from Long An to Tuyen Quang. Vietnam Samho Co., Ltd (Cu Chi district), specializing in manufacturing leather shoes, also has a factory in An Giang, the human resources department in the province will recruit laborers to help and move to the city to work... Chairman of the Board of Directors Thanh Cong Textile - Investment - Trade Joint Stock Company Tran Nhu Tung said: In addition to the factory located in Tan Phu district with 4,500 workers, this unit also opened two more factories in Vinh Long and Tay Ninh provinces with about 3,000 employees.
“The cost of paying workers in Ho Chi Minh City is increasing day by day, while recruiting is also more difficult, forcing the company to open more factories in the provinces. Factories in the province are easier to attract labor resources and the cost of paying workers is also about 30% lower than factories in Ho Chi Minh City,” said Tung.
According to businesses, they have to pay a salary of about 8-10 million VND/month to retain workers in Ho Chi Minh City, while the accepted salary in the provinces is only 6-7 million VND/person. /month due to the cost of housing, eating and drinking is only half of that in the city. However, there are still businesses that choose not to build factories, but instead arrange buses to transport workers from provinces to the city to work.
Communication Director of Quy Phuc Production-Trade-Service Co., Ltd., Van Thi Thuy Tien said: “What businesses hesitate when moving factories to the province is that it costs a lot, takes from one to three minutes. years to build, but it is not clear when the factory is completed, whether the local labor force will be abundant or not. Therefore, businesses still choose the fastest way is to recruit workers in the provinces to factories in Ho Chi Minh City to work with better support policies than before. In this way, after the epidemic, 90% of Quy Phuc's workers have returned to the factory."
Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City Textile, Embroidery and Knitting Association, Pham Xuan Hong, said that businesses opening factories in the province help solve the problem of human shortage in big cities, especially Ho Chi Minh City. At the same time, it also reduces the cost of wages and social insurance due to the lower regional minimum wages; Local workers who have jobs do not have to leave their hometown. However, factories in the province face many difficulties. That is, recruiting must be professional, not horizontal; traffic in some localities is not convenient, far from ports, airports... so transportation costs are high; How do customers rate the quality...
