EVENT COVERAGE

On 19 April 2017 the Sofitel Hotel in Wrocław hosted an event about challenges on the labour market, which was led by three companies: consultancy company Dehora,  law firm ECOVIS and agency of temporary employment KS Service. The meeting resulted in many interesting insights in this topic and favorable opinions about the event. Approximately 30 guests participated in the event, mainly from the HR and Manufacturing area mainly from the Lower Silesia Region.

Opening speech was made by Mr. Piotr Pruś – Attorney-at-law and Partner in the International Law Firm ECOVIS. His presentation was focused  on the regulations concerning the employment of workers from Ukraine and amendments to these regulations. As a hitch, he aimed at rethinking the future of  workers coming from Ukraine, Piotr Pruś proposed a bold opportunity to employ workers from Vietnam. With the rapidly changing labor market and the shrinking number of workers from the eastern border, perhaps the decision to hire Vietnamese workers could be a milestone in future employment.

Another speaker was Mr. Arkadiusz Halama from KS Service. He brought many facts and figures about the demographic development in Poland and both current and long-term trends in the labour market. Mr. Halama stressed that in upcoming ten years, Poland will face huge problems in the field of workforce.

The conclusion of the meeting was the presentation of Mr. Lukasz Chodkowski from Dehora, which deals with the optimization of corporate working time. As the theme of his presentation, Mr. Chodkowski has chosen challenges for employers in the face of changes in the labour market. He underlined that while preparing for the labour market changes we should not forget about delivering high quality working conditions including proper work-life balance in 24/7 system of work. This is absolutely a must if the company wants to attract the best specialists.
