Employers of Włodawa County in the Face of the Problem of Unemployment

Abstract

The analysis clearly indicates that employers in Włodawa County function in conditions far less favourable to other transactors in the country. Detrimental conditions of local employers are compounded by the fact that they do not have full knowledge about the possibility of cooperation with the Local Labour Office in Włodawa as far as dimension of potential economic benefits is considered.

However, if we take into account all given answers to the questions in the questionnaire as an outline to obtain empirical material on which the presented analysis is based, it appears that employers are not able to clearly and accurately identify their real expectations for cooperation with the Local Labour Office in Włodawa. Employers expect active and individualized forms of support, including usage of electronic communication channels rather than the dominant stationary (from behind a desk) form of service.

In conclusion, it appears that a key factor that restrains collaboration between the employment office and local employers is a general ignorance of the possible levels of cooperation and potential economic benefits that arise from them. Consequently, more effort of the employment office is needed in order to bring employers possibility to cooperate with the office in order to achieve mutual economic and social benefits.
