New policy from China Mobile: Employee exit mechanism implemented, planning to reduce staff by over 10%.
Once the new policy of China Mobile was introduced, it instantly caused a strong shock in and outside the industry. This time, China Mobile plans to lay off more than 10% of its employees, creating a huge wave in the entire communication industry. This reform not only made the employees of China Mobile anxious but also brought considerable pressure to other communication companies. What does this employee reduction mechanism reform signify? How will it affect the entire communication industry? Let us explore the details.
One, China Mobile's "slimming down" plan
According to the announcement, the mobile company in a certain province has issued a notice on employee exit management measures! The total employment target for the province is 21,232, with a reduction of 2,336 employees. The province's employment growth rate should not exceed -11%, and each unit will set corresponding reduction targets based on their own employee numbers. This large-scale personnel adjustment undoubtedly demonstrates China Mobile's determination to enhance the company's core competitiveness by optimizing human resources allocation. In a fiercely competitive market environment, streamlining the workforce has become a key strategy for China Mobile to maintain its leading position in the market.
Referring to this province, similar plans are also being implemented in various places.
It can be seen that China Mobile is taking real action this time.
2. Employee Exit Mechanism: Strict Screening Criteria
The employee exit mechanism launched by China Mobile includes several major categories:
1. Incompetence in performance appraisal: Employees who fail to meet the standards for two consecutive years will be forced to leave.
2. Probationary assessment failed: Employees who do not perform well during the probation period will be eliminated.
3. First signing labor contract expiration without renewal: Employees who are not able to secure a renewal opportunity after the expiration of the contract will also exit.
The employee is unable to work after the expiration of the medical leave: The employee is unable to continue to perform their duties after the medical leave period ends.
Violation of discipline and regulations: Employees who commit serious violations of discipline will be dismissed from the company directly.
These exit standards fully demonstrate that China Mobile, while enhancing enterprise efficiency and competitiveness, is also strengthening management efforts towards employees, truly implementing the principle of promoting the capable and demoting the mediocre.
Three, the silent revolution of the telecommunications industry.
China Mobile, as an industry giant, taking the lead in introducing such a strict employee exit mechanism will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for the entire telecommunications industry. Upon seeing Mobile adopting this measure, other telecommunications companies are likely to follow suit and optimize their own human resources structure through similar strategies. This will lead to an unspoken "talent revolution" in the telecommunications industry, with more frequent talent mobility and the imperative need for personnel optimization and restructuring within companies.
4. Employees' Survival Pressure and Career Development
This reform poses a huge impact on the employees of China Mobile and indeed all practitioners in the telecommunications industry. Every employee must face even stricter performance standards, undoubtedly intensifying workplace competition. In order to avoid being "optimized", employees must continuously enhance their abilities to adapt to rapidly changing market demands. Updating and upgrading skills, as well as continuously improving capabilities, will be crucial for survival in the future workplace.
Five, Continuous Learning and Adaptability Improvement
In the future workplace environment, continuous learning and self-improvement will become a compulsory course for every practitioner. The communication industry is evolving at a rapid pace, with emerging technologies such as 5G, Internet of Things, and big data developing rapidly. Employees must maintain a keen learning awareness, timely grasp new knowledge and skills, in order to stand firm in the fierce competition of the workplace.
Six. Insights for Other Communication Enterprises
The reform by China Mobile is not only about "trimming down" but also about preparing for the future talent layout. When facing such intense market competition, other communication companies also have to consider how to enhance their competitiveness through optimizing human resources and improving talent quality. This means that in the coming years, there will be more frequent personnel mobility in the telecommunications industry, leading to further intensification of competition within the industry.
China Mobile's reform of the employee exit mechanism this time is not only an internal adjustment of the enterprise, but also a "silent revolution" in the communication industry. It will reshape the talent structure of the communication industry and drive the entire industry into a more efficient and competitive era. For practitioners in the communication industry, this is both a challenge and an opportunity. Only by continuously improving one's own abilities can one stand undefeated in this era of change.
