Recently, the hot search on Weibo "Bad news salary to be paid after the year" has attracted widespread attention. The Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China, and many people urgently need money to go home for the Chinese New Year, however, many companies choose to pay wages after the new year, which not only chills the hearts of employees, but also may bury the hidden danger of higher employee turnover and lower labor efficiency.
On the eve of the Spring Festival, employees are preparing to go home for the New Year, facing large expenses such as buying tickets and preparing New Year's goods. However, some companies choose to pay wages after the year, which brings inconvenience and distress to employees. This practice not only leaves employees feeling disappointed and dissatisfied, but also affects their sense of belonging and loyalty to the company.
First, delayed payroll can lead to an increase in employee turnover. According to the 2021 National Survey Report on the Payment of Social Insurance Benefits for Retirees, the turnover rate of employees has generally increased by more than 10% in the case of delays in wage payments. This is because employees feel the indifference of the company to their interests and lose their trust and loyalty to the company. They may actively seek out other opportunities to leave their current work environment.
Secondly, delayed payment of wages can also have a negative impact on employees' motivation and work efficiency. Psychological research has shown that financial stress can lead to anxiety, low mood, and decreased motivation at work in individuals. If employees are worried about not being able to pay their rent, loans, or other expenses on time, they are likely to be unable to fully engage in their work, and may even experience mistakes and loss of efficiency. This is not only detrimental to the career development of individuals, but also has a negative impact on the operational efficiency of the business.
Even more puzzling is the fact that delays in the payment of wages are not without a solution. According to the National Corporate Financial Conditions Survey Report released by the People's Bank of China, more than 70% of enterprises said that the main reason for non-payment of wages to employees was cash flow problems. However, there are some measures that companies can take to alleviate this problem, such as applying for loans in advance, planning the flow of funds reasonably, and managing the company's funds properly. Through these measures, enterprises can ensure that wages are paid on time, protect the rights and interests of employees, and also ensure the normal operation of the enterprise.
Employees are one of the most important assets in a business. An enterprise that cares about the welfare of employees and respects the rights and interests of employees can often attract and retain excellent talents, and improve the enthusiasm and efficiency of employees. Conversely, businesses that treat their employees indifferently can lead to employee turnover, increased labor disputes, and damage to the company's image.
Therefore, we call on enterprises to pay more attention to the needs of employees during the Spring Festival and pay wages in a timely manner. This can not only meet the life needs of employees, enhance employees' sense of belonging to the company, but also help to improve the motivation and efficiency of employees. At the same time, the relevant departments should also strengthen supervision to ensure that enterprises pay wages on time, and punish enterprises in arrears of wages to protect the rights and interests of employees.
In today's competitive talent market, companies should fully recognize the value and importance of their employees, and grow and progress with them. Only by establishing a good employer image can we retain excellent talents and promote the sustainable development of enterprises.
