The president of Huawei Technologies Co., Ren Zhengfei, recently expressed his attitude toward how to treat new employees, saying that a company should give new graduates at least a two-year chance, and if someone is talented, they could be promoted quickly, reported the Shanghai news portal The Paper.
Such a concept – giving new graduates a two-year adaptation period – is in fact already largely recognized by society, since personnel training issues are under public discussion at present, The Paper noted.
Human resources departments tend to pay more attention to efficiency, because employers must choose staff who are able to make money for companies as soon as possible, making it reasonable to understand why most enterprises only focus on the current skills that employees have, rather than their potential abilities.
But at the same time, money and resources need to be invested on a new graduate before the new employee can completely adapt him or herself to a job, The Paper commented.
Although developing talents is not a legal duty for companies, retaining new graduates for at least two years could offer valuable experience to personnel who could be assets to the employers.
