Experts Explain the Difficulties of "Talent" in LED Industry

For the lighting industry in 2014, it is a period of great development. As a result, there is a serious shortage of industrial talent. This phenomenon has been chilled by other companies since the beginning of the year.

Today, the LED lighting industry is steadily growing, but the development of the industry depends on many factors such as the industrial environment, technical foundation, market demand, etc., and the domestic LED talents have serious “droughts”, which is also one of the important factors restricting the development of the LED lighting industry. .

Let us look at the recent changes in LED lighting high-level phenomenon. Executives have always been the pillars of the company, and a high-level change will also affect the company’s structure, development, and performance as the “butterfly effect”. According to statistics, in early 2014, many senior executives of listed companies "soon to resign."

In fact, the departure of senior executives is just a microcosm of the “brain shortage” experienced by the LED lighting industry. Since the end of last year, frequent personnel earthquakes have added many uncertainties to the future of many companies.

“The development of the lighting industry has already faced various bottlenecks. The first one is the issue of talents. There is no talent and the market is not doing well.” When visiting the business status of ancient town enterprises, Ou Decheng, secretary general of the Guzhen Town Chamber of Commerce, told reporters. He pointed out that at present, the general lack of talent in ancient lighting companies devaluation of senior management personnel, followed by marketing, R & D and design personnel.

Guangdong Provincial Lighting Association president Quan Jian told reporters that the beginning of the development of LED lighting, talent accumulation is not well known, the company's high luminous efficiency, high reliability of LED raw materials are almost all dependent on imports, high-end epitaxial chip production process is subject to the core technology. With the rise of LED patent war smoke, domestic companies are more aware of the importance of talent.

In addition, with the development of e-commerce in the lighting industry, the lack of talent has become the biggest constraint factor for companies. In the reporter’s visit, many LED lighting e-commerce companies found themselves worrying about talent. They said that because of the lack of talents, e-commerce has gone a long way and there are few companies that currently make money.

There are also business executives admitting that lighting companies do not have enough talent to do e-commerce, because the surrounding businesses are doing e-commerce, the industry is developing too fast, and talent soon appeared in the "deep and juicy" situation. They only had to use as many electric merchants as they could. And recruit talents from all parts of the country through headhunting companies to carry out excavation and so on.

Speaking of the development status of LED lighting e-commerce, the president of the Dongguan Electronic Commerce Association said that not only the lighting industry, the relevant positions of the e-commerce industry with the explosive development of the industry, short-term memory in the absence of work, but this is only a process fact At the same time, with the development of e-commerce, many other professional talents will flow to the e-commerce field. The problem of shortage of electricity providers will also be gradually resolved.

Xiao Nan, deputy general manager of Zhongshan Guzhen Jinling Lighting & Electric Appliance Factory, said that there are many reasons for the current recruitment in the lighting industry: First, the influence of environmental factors. With the development of the economy in various parts of the country, many older generations of migrant workers are reluctant to come out. After all, the wages at home are not low, and they are close to home to take care of the family. This diverts a large part of the migrant workers; The lighting industry has a low attractiveness of talents. Now a new generation of migrant workers will pay more attention to the industry and the company’s visibility and development space. This is very uncompetitive for the lighting industry. The lighting industry is mostly small businesses and new. A generation of migrant workers are reluctant to enter such a small factory.

Liu Shengping, president of the China Lighting Association, said: “The cultivation of talents is crucial for the development of enterprises. Companies need to establish a sound mechanism to build a cradle of talents for the lighting and lighting industry. Through skills training, personnel management, professional management Skills appraisal. In the future we will cultivate the industry's own professional and technical personnel."

With the non-stop development of the LED industry, the survival of the fittest of LED companies has begun to grow stronger, which is the inevitable result of market development. Perhaps in the next five years, the phenomenon of industrial reshuffle will become more apparent, and companies will face a very severe situation. The LED industry will eat fish and fast fish will be the normal state of the industry. As we all know, talent is the basis of competition, especially the current lighting industry is in a period of rapid transition, and the application of good talent is half the battle. Even if the flow of such talents is even more fierce, the company is still there, others are still there, and the lighting road is still there. The person left, but the "lighting heart" cannot be dispersed.
