Personnel Day: Nikolai Sherstnev approved the appointments of the heads of the Vitebchanka enterprise, Sennensky District Housing and Communal Services Unitary Enterprise, Dokshitsy District Agroservice

Professionalism of staff, growth of labor productivity and the economy of organizations. This is how the accents are placed for the management asset of the region by the chairman of the regional executive committee Nikolai Sherstnev at the personnel day.

The reserves for the economic development of the Vitebchanka enterprise will be sought by Viktoria Kazunko, who has been approved for the position of director. This postulate is not new for her – for the last two years she headed the Chashniki Spetsoodezhda organization. Therefore, when asked by the head of the region about her vision of priority tasks, Viktoria Kazunko confidently outlines the priorities: reducing costs and prime costs, improving the quality and competitiveness of products. The course is correct, but for maximum immersion in production niches, Nikolai Nikolaevich instructs the manager to immediately establish a clear system in her work.

— You must delve into every cost item, lay out the entire algorithm of actions for their reduction, — the chairman of the regional executive committee details the scope of tasks. — Motivation for work should play a decisive role in achieving the desired results. In addition, it is necessary to stabilize the enterprise's economy and strengthen its market position. Ultimately, behind all this is the well-being of all employees of the organization.

Among the main points on the task map for Nikolai Rybchenko, approved for the position of director of the Sennensky District Housing and Communal Services Unit, are compliance with executive discipline and improving the quality of services provided. Attention to this is quite understandable: it is often the disregard for official duties and formalism in work that cause unrest among residents, and, as a consequence, a surge in appeals to various authorities. Such an approach does not enhance the organization's image at all.

— Three years ago, Senno was transformed – "Dazhynki" was held here. But the renewal of the district center should not stop there. Landscaping, cleanliness, and order are what the population will constantly evaluate based on the enterprise's performance, — emphasized Nikolai Sherstnev.

Tangible transformations are expected from Andrei Bogovich, approved for the position of director of Dokshitsy Rayagropromservice.

also from the **heads of the agricultural enterprise "Lepelskoe" Roman Misnik, "Yakubovo-Agro" of the Dubrovno district Natalia Shendrik, and "Korolki" of the Tolochin district Galina Kotova**, who opened the round of согласований for contract extensions. It is the dairy segment that is addressed first in the conversation with the agro-managers. The basis is ensuring proper animal husbandry. The result is logical: an increase in production volume and milk quality. And this means revenue, working capital, and salary growth linked to labor productivity. These tactical steps to improve enterprise efficiency were outlined to the managers by the chairman of the regional executive committee, who instructed the leadership of the regional agricultural committee to thoroughly study the situation at "Lepelskoe".

Positions must also be strengthened in crop production. The factors that make the agro-industrial complex successful are well known: personnel, material resources, finances. Someone will inevitably mention the weather, which often "trips up" farmers – and they will be right. Nikolai Sherstnev has repeatedly cited examples of agricultural enterprises operating in identical weather and even territorial conditions, and he emphasizes this again. Why do Scandinavian countries, with a much harsher climate and less fertile land than ours, achieve high grain yields? How can this be achieved? The answer is simple: the manager must be a competent strategist, accumulating the efforts of promising employees to achieve economic benefit. And without adhering to technological discipline, nothing can be done.

Many, unfortunately, follow the beaten path, which is a sure way to stagnation. Any oversight "ricochets" with serious consequences, primarily financial. This is precisely the situation that has developed in the farms of the Polotsk integration structure: **"Bliznitsa" and "Polotsk-milk".** Their managers, **Bronislav Pilipyonok and Vitaly Kuzyakov**, have been instructed by the chairman of the regional executive committee to improve the economic performance of the organizations and summarize the results of the first half of the year. And this is the highest management skill.

In general, Nikolai Nikolaevich always approaches the selection of candidates for the management apparatus of organizations and industries meticulously andmeticulously, considering each person through the prism of professionalism and inquiring about them from colleagues. From now on, the format of personnel days will be expanded. In particular, regarding the vision of development prospects for agricultural organizations, along with applicants for management positions or those invited to agree on contract extensions, heads of district agricultural departments will be consulted. The demand for the fulfillment of these assignments from the head of the region is serious.
