News from Hubei Provincial Labor and Social Insurance Department says that Hubei Province will offer four incentive policies to retain senior blue collar workers.
Hubei Provincial Commission and Hubei Provincial Government have jointly published a plan on further strengthening the work of senior technical talents in the province. By the end of the 11th Five-Year Period, skilled workers will account for more than 50% of the province's total workers and those with advanced skills will account for over 30% of the total skilled workers.
The plan stipulates that enterprises shall offer a certain amount of subsidies to workers who have joined in advanced skills training and obtained a qualification for demanding occupations; candidates who have achieved excellent results in the national or provincial level occupational skills contests shall be awarded and promoted to a higher technical post; employed senior technicians who have won national occupational qualification certificates shall enjoy higher benefits; technical talents shall be given various forms of awards like bonuses, futures, and shares in accordance to the contribution they make to the companies in which they work.
In addition, Hubei Province will set up a method to commend chief technicians, technical masters and skilled technicians and award excellent technicians. Meanwhile, inventions from senior technicians can be named with the technician's name, thereby giving them more incentive to create new things.
