"Comment on the title?" "I don't know much", "I don't pay attention" and "I don't know how to judge if I want to". In many private enterprises, scientific research, projects and achievements are not bad, but when it comes to professional titles, many employees still have no concept.
As an important subject providing more than 70% scientific and technological innovation achievements, more than 80% urban employment and more than 90% enterprises in China, private enterprises have many high-end talents in various fields. At the same time, the evaluation of professional titles in engineering, health, agriculture, economy, accounting, statistics, scientific research and other fields has a long history. Why are some companies "insensitive" to professional titles? What is the stumbling block for private enterprises to evaluate their professional titles?
Recently, the State Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued the Notice on Further Improving the Professional Titles of Private Enterprises (hereinafter referred to as the Notice) to make arrangements for further improving the professional titles of private enterprises. Our reporter conducted an interview on related issues.
Comply with the general trend of talent development
-The number of professional and technical personnel in private enterprises is constantly growing, with more than 38 million non-public professional and technical personnel, accounting for more than half of the total number of professional and technical personnel in China.
Wang Zhenyong is the vice president of Liaoning Hefeng Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., one of the top 500 private enterprises, and also the technical "big coffee" of the enterprise. As early as 20 1 1, he won the second prize of national scientific and technological progress, but it is a bit embarrassing to talk about his professional title.
"My classmates are all senior titles, we are all doctors, but I don't have any junior titles." Wang Zhenyong told this story, "Because we are a private enterprise, what we value is how many new products you have developed, how many patents you have applied for, how many sales growth rates you have, and what titles you don't assess. I didn't have much motivation to declare my professional title before. In addition, we don't know how to report it or who to look for. "
In reality, there are indeed many such situations. Feng Weijie, technical manager of Hefeng Animal Husbandry, told reporters that technicians often pay more attention to the actual competitiveness of products in the market. In terms of professional title investment, more importantly, access to information is relatively limited. "Since the establishment of Hefeng for more than 20 years, fewer people have obtained professional and technical qualification certificates, and the actual ability level of the technical team does not match the obtained professional titles."
Professional titles affect not only the personal honor of employees. It is understood that because there are no technicians with senior professional titles, enterprises have been frustrated repeatedly in applying for projects for technical experts and evaluating academic leaders of national 100 million talents projects. In an activity organized by the local government, the person in charge of Hefeng Animal Husbandry once told the docking department about his "troubles": Who will ask about the technical titles of private enterprises?
Subsequently, the local government sent a special task force to Hefeng Animal Husbandry to provide a solution to the title problem. In recent years, many parts of the country are also vigorously carrying out the evaluation of professional titles of private enterprises. On the basis of summing up the experience and practices of professional titles in private enterprises around the world, Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security recently officially issued a notice, demanding that the role of professional title evaluation be better played as a "baton" to fully stimulate and release the innovation and creativity of professional and technical personnel in private enterprises.
According to the relevant person in charge of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security Professional and Technical Personnel Management Department, in recent years, the number of professional and technical personnel in private enterprises has been increasing, with more than 38 million non-public professional and technical personnel, accounting for more than half of the total number of professional and technical personnel in China. Strengthening the work of professional titles in private enterprises is of great significance to promoting the healthy development of private enterprises and stabilizing employment.
According to Miao Wei, the chief researcher of china enterprise confederation, this move can be said to be "just in time". "Now many excellent talents are working in private enterprises. From the development trend of enterprises, it is very important to strengthen the talent reserve and promote the gradient development of talents. In the past, private enterprises had such problems in evaluating professional titles. Further promoting the work of professional titles is conducive to the growth of talents and the further development of enterprises, which is in line with the development status of enterprises. " Miao Rong told this reporter.
Cracking professional titles and evaluating pain points
-further break the restrictions on household registration, identity, archives and ownership, and create convenient conditions for professional and technical personnel in private enterprises to declare their professional titles.
How is the evaluation of professional titles conducted? The suggestion of relevant departments to Hefeng Animal Husbandry is to take the road of "independent evaluation". It is understood that at present, the independent evaluation of the title of Hefeng Animal Husbandry has already had a preliminary direction. Since last year, there have been government personnel docking projects of human resources departments of enterprises to coordinate the follow-up implementation.
Feng Weijie introduced that the independent evaluation of professional titles by enterprises means giving the initiative to enterprises. As the main body of evaluation, enterprises make multi-dimensional evaluation of technicians and decide how to evaluate their professional titles. This practice has also become one of the initiatives given in the Notice.
"The poor channels for the application and evaluation of professional titles of private enterprises have always been the main problem reflected by everyone, and it is also the core problem that needs to be solved in the Notice." The relevant person in charge of Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security said that it is necessary to solve the problems of blocking points and pain points in the evaluation of professional titles of private enterprises.
-in the declaration of professional titles, further break the restrictions on household registration, identity, archives and ownership, and create convenient conditions for professional and technical personnel in private enterprises to declare professional titles.
In areas where small and medium-sized private enterprises are concentrated, all localities are encouraged to set up professional title declaration service points in business incubation bases, high-tech development zones, science parks and other places, or accept professional title declaration through social organizations such as talent intermediary service agencies, industrial and commercial associations, chambers of commerce, and industry associations, so as to improve the convenience of professional and technical personnel in private enterprises.
"People's social departments all over the country carry out the declaration of professional titles of private enterprises. If it is impossible or inconvenient to declare through other channels, the human and social departments will eventually solve the problem of title declaration, and there will be no more' no declaration'. " The person in charge said.
-in the evaluation of professional titles, ensure that professional and technical personnel in private enterprises in the fields of science and technology, education, medical care and culture enjoy the same treatment as professional and technical personnel in institutions.
Support private enterprises with intensive professional and technical personnel above designated size, strong technical force and standardized internal management to set up professional title evaluation committees, and support small and medium-sized enterprises to jointly set up professional title evaluation committees to independently carry out professional title evaluation work. You can also rely on social organizations with professional advantages, strong service capabilities and high level of industry self-discipline, set up socialized evaluation institutions, and carry out professional title evaluation of professional and technical personnel in private enterprises.
It can be seen that from the declaration of professional titles to the evaluation, the Notice takes into account the actual situation of small and medium-sized enterprises. "Many small and medium-sized enterprises have a strong business orientation and more emphasis on making business performance. However, it should not be ignored that small and medium-sized enterprises are important subjects of innovation and have a strong motivation to learn professional skills. Doing a good job title evaluation is conducive to improving the evaluation of innovative high-end talents and promoting talent growth. " Yan Rong said.
Fully mobilize the enthusiasm of professional and technical personnel.
-Keep close to the employment needs of private enterprises, overcome the tendency of focusing only on academic qualifications, qualifications, papers and awards, and guide the linking of professional titles with salaries.
In the past, the enthusiasm of some professional and technical personnel to apply for professional titles was not high, which also reflected that the previous evaluation criteria were not connected with the actual needs of private enterprises, and there were some problems such as "the evaluation was not used, and the evaluation was not used" to some extent.
In this regard, the "Notice" will improve the evaluation criteria as an important content. For example, closely follow the employment needs of private enterprises, fully consider the characteristics of professional and technical personnel in private enterprises and the actual work, and formulate evaluation standards in a targeted manner to prevent the use of "two skins" in evaluation. At the same time, we should emphasize the orientation of market evaluation, overcome the tendency of focusing only on academic qualifications, qualifications, papers and awards, emphasize the assessment of work ability and performance, pay attention to market recognition and practical contribution to enterprises, and take patent achievements, technological breakthroughs, technological processes, standard formulation and achievement transformation as important contents of title evaluation.
In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of enterprises and employees to participate in the work of professional titles, the notice also made arrangements. On the one hand, promote online review, further simplify application review procedures and streamline application materials; On the other hand, it promotes the connection between the evaluation results of professional titles and the training and use of talents in private enterprises, and guides private enterprises to take the evaluation results of professional titles as the basis for determining positions, assessment, promotion, performance and salary.
In the early exploration and practice of some enterprises, the relevant measures have received good results. Hefeng Animal Husbandry reflects that since the implementation of independent evaluation and employment of professional titles, employees have been highly motivated. In the past year, the proportion of technicians who submitted papers increased, and the number of people who contributed to the core journals of the industry exceeded 20. In the field of patent application, employees are also motivated. Last year, Hefeng Animal Husbandry won the second prize of National Technological Invention Award.
In Feng Weijie's view, the career planning and R&D enthusiasm of professional technicians will directly affect the R&D strength and product competitiveness of enterprises. If the professional title evaluation of technicians is organically combined with career promotion, it can directly drive the declaration of patents and scientific research projects. Linking professional titles with wages, benefits and job promotion will also enhance the attraction to talents.
"Relevant leaders and departments went deep into the enterprise to give us ideas and find ways to establish an independent title evaluation mechanism, which made us even more powerful in attracting and retaining talents." Jin Weidong, chairman of Hefeng Animal Husbandry, said. At present, the R&D team of Hefeng Animal Husbandry has more than 400 people, including doctor 14 and master 100. The scientific research strength of the Group R&D Center has been continuously improved.
In Miao Rong's view, the promotion of private enterprise titles not only has a positive impact on the enterprise and individual level. He said that private enterprises have many high-end talents with outstanding performance, but in the past, due to poor channels of professional titles and other reasons, they may miss many opportunities when communicating horizontally on different platforms. Now gradually breaking the limitations of the past and getting rid of the inequality in institutional arrangements is conducive to the communication of the entire talent system, the growth of the national talent team, and the development of science, technology and culture.
