Major SOEs to improve quality of employees
( 2003-12-21 11:17) (People)
China's watchdog of
state-owned assets will encourage the state-owned enterprises (SOEs) under its
supervision to initiate various training programs for their staff beginning from
2004, so as to improve the workers' educational level substantially and
cultivate a group of skilled workers.
Wang Ruixiang, deputy director of the State-owned Assets Supervision and
Administration Commission of the State Council (SASAC), made the remarks
Thursday at a mobilization conference aiming to spread the successful experience
of some SOEs in this field.
"SASAC is drafting guidelines to help the SOEs to initiate training projects,
and the document will be delivered to the 189 SOEs in early 2004," Wang said.
The SOEs should make the training project part of their development strategy
on the basis of their actual situation, and try to establish an effective system
for exploring human resources in two years, he said.
Adequate funding is of importance for the training program, Wang said. All
SOEs should use an equivalent of 1.5 percent of the workers' total salary for
their further education, and personal ability and working performance should be
stressed in the evaluation and promotion of the working staff.
There are nearly 10 million people working in the SASAC-supervised SOEs, with
about 80 percent working in the front lines of manufacturing, trade or
management. The SOEs as a whole, according to Wang, are still short of senior
skilled workers and high-quality talents, and most workers are not
well-educated.
"We should change the situation by providing more training opportunities to
the workers." Wang said.
