Provide excellent support services for employees pursuing self-study exams, assisting with registration and offering correspondence course information. Additionally, establish or adjust existing incentive standards for in-service staff pursuing academic advancement. Make educational qualifications a prerequisite for both job placement and promotion to administrative and technical positions, thereby boosting employees' motivation to engage in continuous learning.
IV. Measures and Requirements
(1) Leaders must attach great importance to this matter, and all workshops and departments should actively participate and cooperate in developing a practical and effective training implementation plan. Adopt a combination of guidance and directive approaches, consistently focusing on enhancing employees' overall quality. Cultivate a long-term and holistic perspective, proactively establishing a comprehensive "large-scale training framework." Ensure that the course enrollment rate reaches over 90%, while achieving an overall employee training coverage rate of at least 35%.
(II) Principles and Forms of Training. Training shall be organized in accordance with the tiered management and training principles of "those who manage personnel are responsible for their training." The company will prioritize leadership development for management teams, workshop directors, chief engineers, highly skilled professionals, and training focused on promoting the "Four New" initiatives. Meanwhile, all departments and grassroots units are expected to collaborate closely with the Training Center to effectively implement rotational training programs for new hires and existing employees, as well as cultivate versatile talent. In terms of training formats, efforts should align with the actual needs of the enterprise, adopting approaches tailored to local conditions and individual requirements. This includes integrating external training with internal instruction, combining base-level training with on-site learning, and employing flexible and diverse methods such as skill drills, technical competitions, and certification exams. Additionally, training methodologies should integrate various techniques, including lectures, role-playing exercises, case studies, discussions, and field observations. By selecting the most effective methods and formats, we can ensure that training activities are conducted efficiently and effectively.
(III) Strengthen the construction and development of training infrastructure. First, enhance collaborative education efforts with higher education institutions by establishing training and internship bases at nearby universities, fully leveraging their training resources and specialized expertise. Actively integrate these resources, develop them efficiently, and enable them to play a pivotal role in the company's human resource training and development initiatives. Second, based on the company's internal professional strengths, establish dedicated training facilities and vocational school functions. Select specific disciplines or topics, and organize the development of tailored training materials or lecture notes that align with the unique needs of the enterprise. Finally, strengthen the building of both full-time and part-time corporate trainers, implementing a system of paid resource services.
(IV) Ensure the implementation of training budget allocations. We must fully allocate vocational education funds at 1.5% of total payroll, as per current national regulations. These funds shall be managed and utilized by the training authorities, with oversight provided by the financial department. Of this amount, 0.5% is to be remitted to the company for unified coordination and use. Any misappropriation of training funds is strictly prohibited.
(5) Ensure the genuine effectiveness of training outcomes. First, intensify inspection and guidance efforts while refining relevant systems. The company should establish comprehensive employee training institutions and facilities (such as employee universities or vocational technical schools), conducting regular, unannounced inspections and providing ongoing guidance on all levels and types of training activities at these centers. Second, implement a system for recognition and public notification. Units and training institutions demonstrating outstanding achievements and delivering solid, effective training programs will receive commendations and rewards; conversely, units failing to properly implement their training plans or lagging behind in employee training initiatives will face public criticism and reprimands. Third, establish a feedback mechanism for employee training progress, ensuring that assessment results and performance during the training period are directly linked to employees' salaries and bonuses. This approach aims to enhance employees' awareness and commitment to self-directed learning and development.
(6) Strengthen the service awareness for on-site training activities at grassroots units, fully leverage the initiative of business departments, proactively engage with field operations to address practical issues arising during training, and ensure solid implementation of the annual training plan.
(7) Company-organized training programs and externally sponsored employee training must be strictly organized, implemented, and carried out in accordance with the procedures and requirements outlined in the "Human Resources Management Measures." Each organizing department (unit) should meticulously plan and design the curriculum prior to course commencement, while all units are responsible for selecting and sending qualified participants, ensuring the effectiveness and quality of the training. Training serves as an effective means to enhance employees' survival skills and strengthen their competitiveness in the workplace. We must actively encourage employees to take initiative in their learning endeavors, as building a high-caliber team is an indispensable responsibility of the Human Resources Department. It is imperative that we consciously prioritize employee learning and development from the strategic perspective of fostering a sustainable, competitive, and outstanding enterprise. Moreover, for enterprises to maintain an unassailable position in fierce market competition, it is essential to establish a learning-oriented corporate culture. By accelerating the advancement of vocational education and training initiatives, we can elevate the overall political and technical competence of our workforce, thereby cultivating core human resource capabilities that empower employees to effectively compete in the marketplace.
In today's era of rapid enterprise reform and development, companies are confronted with both opportunities and challenges unique to this new period. Only by maintaining the vitality and dynamism of employee education and training can enterprises cultivate a workforce that is highly capable, technically proficient, and possesses outstanding professional qualities—qualities essential for thriving in the evolving market economy. Such a workforce will be better equipped to leverage their talents and creativity, enabling them to make even greater contributions to corporate growth as well as societal progress.
Human resources are the primary driving force behind a company's growth. Yet, many organizations consistently struggle to build a robust talent pipeline—finding it challenging to identify, nurture, deploy, and retain top-tier employees. Therefore, cultivating core competitive advantages hinges critically on effective talent development. And this development begins with employees themselves, as they continuously engage in learning and training to enhance their professional competencies and technical skills. By fostering a high-performing team culture, companies can elevate their performance from excellence to sustained excellence, ensuring long-term success and enduring prosperity.
