Recently, the launching ceremony of the "Mother Gang" Employment Public Welfare Project and the on-site job fair in Maoming City were held in Donghu Park, Dianbai District, to further promote the new flexible employment model of "Mother Gang" in the whole district and solve the problem of employment of women's surplus labor.
The author saw at the job fair that although the scorching sun was in the sky, there was an endless stream of citizens who came to look for suitable positions, and the publicity, solicitation, and explanation of recruiters, the inquiries of candidates to understand the relevant information of the position, and the voices of familiar job seekers discussing the position were intertwined, making the scene very lively.
It is understood that 30 companies participated in this event, and more than 1,000 jobs were released, including more than 590 "mother posts", and 234 people registered employment intentions on the spot. 27 women's enterprises participated in the exhibition, and 230 kinds of agricultural and sideline products of women's micro-loan projects and women's entrepreneurship bases were exhibited.
How to balance family and career has always been a hot concern for married women with children. The event pointed out that the good-hearted "mother post" employment model is an important measure to support women's employment, and it is necessary to strengthen coordination and linkage, strengthen policy support, innovate incentive measures, and encourage more private enterprises to develop and set up "mother posts".Smooth the channels for collecting and publishing recruitment and job search information for "mother posts", and actively provide services for the supply and demand docking of "mother posts". At the same time, we will improve the long-term health security mechanism of "caring for women and children", vigorously promote the "Women's Health Action" and "Seedling Protection Action" in Maoming City, do a good job in caring for the health and well-being of women and children, and effectively make the project a brand of "Women Warm People's Hearts" of the Women's Federation, so as to help solve the problems of imbalance and inadequacy of women and children in economic development, people's livelihood security, and social participation.
As a mother, it has been difficult to find a satisfactory job after giving birth, and there are many jobs that I go to interview for and cannot take care of the family. Ms. Chen, who came here to seek a position, said that she is learning about positions in various companies and is expected to become a member of the "mother post".
Most of the people in our company are women, and there is no problem with having more female workers. "Our 'mom post' is that after the training, we will join a group, and the group will post jobs from time to time, and if you are free, you can take it over and work flexibly. The author visited a number of companies and learned that the "mother post" involves cleaners, assemblers, customer service clerks, salesmen, etc., with diversified positions, strong practicability, flexible working hours, and can well solve the practical problems of mothers.
