| HR experts say shortage of labour will continue to be the main labour market challenge.
The Slovak Spectator spoke about current trends on the labour market and the challenges that employers are facing when seeking people to fill their vacant job positions with Sergio Duarte, general director of Adecco Slovakia, Martin Krekáč, chairman and owner of Jenewein Group and a senior partner of Amrop, Mario Fondati and Igor Šulík, both partners with Amrop, and Luboš Sirota, chairman of the board and general director of McROY Group.
The Slovak Spectator (TSS): What are the main challenges for the Slovak labour market in general and for employers in particular in 2017?
Sergio Duarte (SD): The labour market is changing and most of the companies are already preparing their new investments, meaning they already have new needs and a hiring plan to respond to these investments. Areas like IT, shared services and automotive are the main drivers and will continue to grow in 2017. There is a major investor coming in the automotive sector and this is a challenge for the country. It will attract other new investors, sub-suppliers and many other companies that will invest in infrastructure and provide outsourced services. So employers will hold on to their staff by improving their working environments. Mainly, we might see an increase of salaries in general. The main challenge will be with the retention of talented people in Slovakia – how the country and the government will lead in regard to future needs and what investments will be made in education and the integration of students into the business environment. Speaking of blue-collar workers, we see an increase in migration from among the regions and even from other countries. To respond to this movement, the country will need to adapt its infrastructure and create solutions to Slovakia’s dynamic business environment.
Martin Krekáč (MK): To put it simply – a shortage of labour. For many years now employers are pointing out that there is a problem with finding and hiring qualified candidates for many technical positions. With the new investments coming to Slovakia this problem will only escalate.
Luboš Sirota (LS): The main challenge for the market, as well as for employers, remains the same: how to cope with the increasing lack of a qualified labour force. The result is growing pressure on higher salaries, rising turnover of employees and higher costs for their training since companies are forced to hire people without adequate experience. Employees are thus able to pick from a higher number of job offers and companies need to figure out how to attract and keep them.
