The sharing employee suddenly became a popular part of the sharing economy model because of the epidemic situation. Of course, this sharing employee is not exactly the same as the sharing in the traditional sharing economy model. It is not the sharing of a commercial product, but A more direct understanding of the sharing of human resources in commercial production is the sharing of human costs. The hottest thing about sharing employees this time is the exchange between the catering and retail industries.
After the delay of resumption of work and home isolation became the main theme of the epidemic, it should have been the peak period of the catering industry in the past, but this year’s Spring Festival was extra deserted, with a large number of catering employees staying at home. With the company’s income almost zero, These catering companies still have to bear higher labor costs. This is not the case for some retail and retail industries. The tide of buying items is one wave after another, and people’s fear of the epidemic has caused everyone to snap up essential goods and supplies in their lives.
At the same time, orders on the Internet are also issued intermittently 24 hours a day. There is such a slogan on the Internet: “At 12 in the morning, set an alarm clock and grab food on a certain APP on time.” The author believes that this is not only It is just as simple as a “segment” on the network. The actual situation is indeed the case. Compared with the increase of several times the usual business pressure, the labor shortage is naturally in front of these enterprises.
On the one hand, it is a catering industry that needs to pay huge wages because it cannot start work, and on the other hand, it is a commercial supermarket and a fresh food distribution company that lacks labor. The flexible movement of personnel seems to be doomed. After sharing employees, the catering company can greatly reduce the burden and greatly reduce the risk of bankruptcy and bankruptcy due to high wages. Employees have also found new jobs in special periods to ensure income, and the supermarket and fresh food industry have eased themselves. Awkward situation where no job is available. This is a win-win cooperation case.
In Baidu Encyclopedia, this evaluation: “The cooperation of shared employees has become an innovative initiative for domestic enterprises to actively respond to the epidemic.” After the epidemic, can shared employees really become a new type of employment? Can it solve the fluctuating labor demand at the lowest cost? All these questions are waiting for the new labor mode to answer.
The author believes that sharing employees does allow some companies to survive the “black swan” crisis, but it may not be easy to achieve normalization.
First of all, in this cooperation between employers and employees, the common understanding established by everyone is to reduce losses, not profits. Under normal circumstances, the catering industry does not have too much manpower. The people in the industry know very well that under the law of the three high and one low catering industry,Whether the expenditure is appropriate is an important indicator to determine whether the catering business is operating well. In other words, the efficiency of manpower determines the life and death of the chain restaurant industry. This is not an exaggeration.
Now the catering industry has transferred these unexpectedly rich people to the nearby retail supermarket and fresh food distribution industry. Although the salary income has been protected in the short term, but because of industry familiarity, Enterprises cannot produce corresponding efficiencies. In the gap between the front and back, both the employees sharing the staff and the employees themselves may have a disapproval of this model.
After both parties have completed the stop loss, returning to the original job will become inevitable, and the mode of sharing employees will no longer exist.
Furthermore, the shared employee competition is not just a flexible and short-term increase in demand for labor, but also a test of the ability of your supply chain in the face of soaring demand.
Most consumers will find that during this time, the small shop selling vegetables in front of their homes has not become the most valuable supplier to meet your daily vegetable demand in this epidemic, but a large one. The supermarket has become a must for you to buy the necessities of life. Obviously, not all companies can provide corresponding supply when there is demand. Even if they are willing to accept the shared employee model, their own supply chain system is not able to support it.
I think that after the company resolves the crisis, the mode of sharing employees will also disappear. Before the profit target, employees cannot share!
