A New-Age Ecosystem for Blue-Collar Employees

A New-Age Ecosystem for Blue-Collar Employees

Blue-collar employees work in a different variety of jobs. They work hard, and their hands are used to getting the job done. It is required that the management should put an effort to understand the needs of its blue-collar employees and look into factors such as job satisfaction and motivation. In most industries, without blue-collar employees, there is no need for a management team. Here are a few points to consider in this regard:
 

Digitalization

In India, 60% of the population will be Internet users by 2023, up from 27% of the population in 2017. In the new-age ecosystem, to empower the blue-collar job seekers, there are many job platforms to access employment requirements. Likewise, blue-collar recruiters need to be ably equipped to hire these blue-collar employees by using technology. By using these platforms, blue-collar recruiters hire more employees for less cost.

Job Satisfaction

With this digitalization, the blue-collar recruiters can take time and give the blue-collar employees suitable and related jobs by analyzing their profiles. This helps the workers to work comfortably, and the job is related to their experience.  A new-age ecosystem allows blue-collar employees to work with job satisfaction.

Job Stability

 Computers, robots, and machines can sometimes replace blue-collar workers who do professions like assembly line work or construction traffic management. The assurance that they will have a job for the foreseeable future is one of the motivators for blue-collar workers. This can take the shape of a long-term collective bargaining agreement or a company policy that allows staff to be moved to new projects instead of being fired if their jobs are discontinued. 

A salary that is appropriate

Blue-collar workers' remuneration is frequently computed on an hourly basis. Company perks such as retirement and health insurance, are included in that wage. Employers and labour unions negotiate prices based on characteristics such as job function and seniority. Non-union employees are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement, yet being paid fair pay is still important for their job satisfaction. A competitive pay package can increase job satisfaction and motivation among blue-collar workers.

Rewards, recognition, and performance bonus

Employees in blue-collar jobs who are recognized and rewarded for years of service, consecutive days of work, and a stellar safety record, serve as role models for others. Blue-collar employees gain a sense of job satisfaction as a result of this type of acknowledgement, and it pushes others to seek similar degrees of recognition.
