Chapter 756: Using Conspiracy to Deal with the Old Fox

As the chairman of the group, there are almost no things that can be hidden from Guo Huaying.

He received the news as soon as Chen An arrived at the company. He was still thinking about what to do to get Chen An to move, but he didn't expect to receive the news that Sun Cheng was called to the office and had a grim expression when he came out. This was a good thing for Guo Huaying.

He was just wondering whether he should do something to get Chen An to move closer to him when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter"

Secretary Huang reminded with a strange look on his face, "Chairman, Mr. Chen is here."

"Please come in, Mr. Chen, and have a pot of Longjing..."

After meeting, the two exchanged a few simple greetings and sat down in the reception area.

"Xiao Chen, I just took over and it's the busiest time of the year. The work of the HR department is the top priority of the group. I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of it. If you encounter any trouble, you can come to me at any time."

As expected of an old fox, he did not pretend not to know, but instead took the opportunity to win me over.

Chen An nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Chairman. To be honest, I came here today because I do have something unclear."

"Oh? What's going on?" Guo Huaying's dim eyes flashed with a gleam of light.

"There is a poem I particularly like, 'The nine states rely on wind and thunder for vitality, but it is a pity that all the horses are silent. I advise the God to shake himself up and send down talents regardless of their background. I wonder what the chairman thinks of this poem?"

Guo Huaying was moved and praised, "Haha, Xiao Chen is indeed a rising star in the literary world. I really know this poem. I have published my own miscellaneous poems. I feel helpless about this poem, but it also has that kind of majestic momentum. I admire the author very much."

Seeing that Guo Huaying didn't take the initiative to respond, Chen An didn't want to play Tai Chi with this old fox, as this would only make him more defensive against him.

"Recently, I have been studying the personnel appointment and assessment procedures of domestic and foreign companies and have discovered many drawbacks, and these drawbacks are becoming more and more serious."

"The most obvious drawback is that some companies choose to lay off employees between the ages of 35 and 40."

"Xiao Chen, there is nothing we can do about this. After all, business operations must consider costs. Most employees of this age lack energy and cannot complete their work efficiently, yet they have to receive several times higher wages. For the sake of the company's development, layoffs are inevitable."

Chen An smiled and said, "Of course I understand what the chairman said, but from another perspective, I think this approach does more harm than good."

"What do you think, Xiao Chen?"

"It's not a brilliant idea, just some immature views."

“Talent is an essential part of a company’s development. Employees aged 35 usually have accumulated rich work experience, professional skills and industry knowledge, and are valuable assets for the company.

Large-scale layoffs will cause companies to lose these talent resources, resulting in damage to the continuity of business processes, possible obstruction of project progress, and affect the long-term development of the company. "

"Because of this trend, many employees have been looking for ways out for themselves one or two years before layoffs, which not only distracts their attention but also affects work efficiency.

This kind of uneasy mood will also greatly reduce employees' loyalty and sense of belonging to the company. Bosses often say that they should treat their employees as family members and want to use corporate culture to consolidate the team's centripetal force, but this behavior is undoubtedly inconsistent. "

"The solution most companies choose is to further intensify competition through a so-called fair performance appraisal mechanism, which means that the efforts of the losers in the first half of their lives are almost wasted, and the winners who stay will fall into this vicious cycle.

In the company, they no longer think about how to work and create more benefits for the company, but instead focus on how to avoid being laid off. Over time, the entire company will lose the motivation to move forward under this negative emotion. "

"If you don't move forward, you will move backward. Many companies are actually dying in this cycle. If we can't make changes, history will just keep repeating itself. Maybe soon we will become dust in history."

Guo Huaying took a sip of tea and sighed helplessly.

"Xiao Chen, the concerns you mentioned are not just mine. Most bosses understand them. However, it is not easy to change any system. Successful changes are good, but failures are extremely costly, and you may not even have the opportunity to change again."

Although Chen An had no way to directly change this trend, he was standing on the shoulders of giants, had insights far beyond his time, and had too many practical and effective experiences to learn from.

"I understand the chairman's concerns. We don't need to take risks and make drastic reforms, but we can definitely take a small step further than our peers and other companies. The first person to try something new will face more risks, but will also have more benefits."

Guo Huaying's eyes lit up, "Xiao Chen, it looks like you have a surprise for me."

"Jiang Ziya was 72 years old and still assisted the King of Zhou in conquering the world, not to mention that people in their thirties and forties are the best age in their lives."

"The advantage of this age is that you have a lot of work experience. The disadvantage is that family factors affect everyone and everyone has to devote some energy to deal with it. The main disadvantage is actually due to the updating and iteration of technology."

"I have been working for more than ten years after graduation, so I am naturally not as exposed to new technologies as young people. I think that compared with a simple assessment mechanism, we can provide professional training for employees of appropriate age to increase their sense of belonging to the company and prevent the company from having a talent gap."

"We can also adopt flexible employment methods for some people, which can save the company money on layoffs, and take advantage of the change in the nature of work to cut some wages and reduce the company's financial pressure."

"This is equivalent to having a huge buffer zone, which will prevent employees from panicking, improve work efficiency, and significantly enhance the corporate image. The humane approach can also attract more talents and create a virtuous circle."

Guo Huaying looked at Chen An with increasing admiration, and couldn't help but applaud and said with a smile, "Xiao Chen, you really gave me too many surprises. This problem has troubled me for too long. If you can come up with a practical solution, I will definitely support you with all my strength."

"Thank you for your praise, Chairman. In fact, in addition to these, I have another immature idea. Please give me your advice."

"Haha, Xiao Chen, I can't say I'm giving you advice, at most I can give you some experience, so feel free to tell me what you think."
