The largest enterprises get rid of "ballast"

The largest enterprises get rid of "ballast"

Belarusian enterprises have mass dismissals of workers.

To retain production profitability in conditions of ruble’s devaluation and directive price control, the Belarusian enterprises must look for ways and mechanisms to decrease expenses in 2015.

Reduction in staff becomes one of the most widespread options.

The research of "Zautra Tvae Krainy" showed that this tendency appeared last year and was particularly practiced in the public sector. Now it extends to the private sector and takes a mass character.

Two thirds of the Belarusian Open Joint Stock Companies enlisted in 30 of the largest employers were forced to react to deterioration in the business environment with staffing reductions in the first nine months of the last year. BelAZ-holding is the only one in the top ten which has had no cuts in staff. The staff of Zhodino association has left unchanged.

Then, in January-September 2014 this process had not acquired mass character. On average the staff lessened by 3-4% at the majority of enterprises. Even then some plants had already been forced to make significant cuts, for example, Minsk Automobile Plant. Only for the first nine months of last year due to falling market in Russia MAZ dismissed 2.1 thousand people (more than 10 per cent).

"Grodno Azot" cut even more workers, almost 2. 4 thousand people (over 20 per cent) "Mogilevkhimvolokno" dismissed more than a thousand employees (over 15 per cent). In the first nine months of last year "Svetlogorsk Khimvolokno", Minsk Bearing Plant (the average number of people decreased from 2361 to 2089), holdings BELOMO (Belarus Optical & Mechanical Enterprise) and "Amkodor" (reduced from 3217 to 2780 and from 2468 to 2188 people respectively) lost more than 10 % of their staff. 17% fewer employees appeared in Pinsk sewing company "Polesie" (from 2805 to 2327), 28% - in the "Brestoblavtotrans" (from 2341 to 1678 people).

Only a third of the largest employers in Belarus increased their staff. The number of the employed was mainly increasing in building trusts, and manufacturers of building materials. Six companies, representing this industry, are in the top 10 of the "30 largest employers" list.

"Keramin", Stroitrest No. 7, "Promtekhmontazh", "Belelectromontazh” increased the number of employees.

However, the dynamics in the growth of new employees is less evident compared to the dismissal rates. Besides, this is data on the situation before ruble's collapse on December 19 last year and as a result the Government's strict measures on price control.
