The reason Anhui Forklift has been able to lead the domestic forklift industry for decades and rank among the world's top 10 in the industry is inseparable from the wisdom and contributions of a group of blue-collar workers like Li Xiaolin and Liu Fei. Zhang Dejin, Chairman and Party Secretary of Anhui Forklift Group, was once a skilled worker himself and is a typical example of growing together with the enterprise. He believes that the enterprise is the stage of life for employees, and the development of the enterprise is achieved by discovering the value of employees.

    A person in charge of the Human Resources Department of Anhui Forklift introduced that after decades of consistent training, blue-collar workers have become the backbone of the enterprise's development. They play an irreplaceable role in every type of work, position, and process operation in the enterprise, and they are the true treasures of the enterprise.

    It is understood that for a long time, Anhui Forklift has taken the building of a high-skilled talent team as one of the core strategies of enterprise development, incorporated it into the entire process of human resources development and management, and formed a scientific management system from top to bottom. The Anhui Forklift Education Committee is the highest leading decision-making body for employee training of the group company, and under the committee there are five major training professional groups: ideological and political, technical, skills, management, and marketing.

    Every year, Anhui Forklift holds a high-level education work conference and annual meeting of the education committee, summarizing the previous year's training work and deploying the next year's training arrangements in groups and in plenary. The company's training center is the functional management department for employee training, and the training leading groups of each department, office, branch factory, and subsidiary are the executing bodies for employee training. A sound organizational network ensures timely exchange and feedback of various training information, forms a virtuous working cycle, and realizes the integration of training, use, and treatment in the building of a high-skilled talent team.

    Zhang Dejin believes that in cultivating the blue-collar workforce, training is the means, mechanism is the guarantee, and typical examples and role models provide the guidance. To encourage employees to learn skills and become talents early, Anhui Forklift has established a competitive talent selection mechanism centered on internal open recruitment and competitive appointment, identifying good horses in the race and enabling a group of diligent and hardworking frontline workers to put their genuine knowledge and abilities to use.

    On how to reflect the value of blue-collar workers and give them a greater sense of presence, Zhang Dejin said that for the enterprise to grow together with its employees, it must let employees personally experience the concept that “every trade has its master.” At Anhui Forklift, as long as one becomes a technical backbone, one's material and spiritual treatment will match that of golden blue-collar workers, allowing them to live a life commensurate with their status and gain respect from society and the enterprise.
