Job hopping and identity crisis
China's growth is unlimited, launched toward ever more ambitious goals and nothing appears to be an obstacle. Aside from an often overlooked but essential: the difficulties of the people to keep pace with these changes, both in terms of skills, much studied phenomenon, but also - I might add - the construction of individual identity.
The most striking phenomenon is the job hopping, jumping or frequent from place to place of work, a sign of a question that seems insatiable and a chance for individuals to decide how and when to accept a job.
course no mention of new graduates in China are struggling to find a first job, but those people with some skills and, above all, already experienced.
These are disputes, especially between the foreign companies who are looking for people who know English well beyond their work. After a brief slowdown caused by the crisis, the difficulty to retain people is still increasing, particularly in light of a growing domestic market supported by Chinese companies.
not talking about a case of poaching (poaching) as a strategy of local firms "hunt" between those who are good people accupati in foreign companies.
An underground war, in short, which deals with the skills.
The other side of this phenomenon is that individual: people are the subject of new attention, strategies of "retention" as never before happened. Easy, then, especially for young people, let groped by increasing wages, benefits from, and so on. Yet several studies, it appears that the best way to retain people is not only to pay the run, but to give elements of "sense". A sense of belonging, a sense of growth. In short, those identity elements that are essential to build a balance.
Beyond the war for talent there is, therefore, a war within, I repeat especially the younger generations. Torn too quickly from a context that has been building for decades, are now closer to Western models of consumption and unbridled desire to root characteristics. If young people around the world is difficult to construct the coordinates of sense for the young Chinese urban, educated, it is even more.
There will be an additional challenge for companies that trovaranno to operate in Chinese territory: that of trying to "take" the people in new ways, taking responsibility for something more and different than a package of benefits.
