Personnel Day: the appointment of the First Deputy Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee's Committee for Architecture and Construction, and the Deputy Chairman of the Vitebsk District Executive Committee has been approved.

From targeted to large-scale — the range of tasks set within the framework of the personnel day by the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, Nikolai Sherstnev, for new appointees and the current director corps, covered all areas of their activities. A comprehensive and open conversation with the head of the region became a starting point for the managers.

The new First Deputy Chairman of the Committee for Architecture and Construction of the Regional Executive Committee, Igor Galyna, formerly Deputy Director for Commercial Affairs at Vittorgprom LLC, is tasked with improving the region's construction industry system in line with modern conditions. He understands that construction is an industry whose results are visible to all.

— In the context of the economic transformation of construction organizations, activities aimed at reducing costs and the price of completed work, without compromising the quality characteristics of the facility, are in demand and competitive. It is necessary to actively seek new sales markets, offer services abroad, and participate in tenders, — noted Nikolai Sherstnev.

The readiness to solve such issues primarily depends on management skills. However, in practice, most industry enterprises implement projects within their own region. Such participants in the construction complex need to break stereotypes in their work. A manager's hand must be on the pulse of modern trends.

Elena Studențova has been approved for the position of Deputy Chairman of the Vitebsk District Executive Committee for Economics, succeeding Viktor Dorozhkin, now Chairman of the Vitebsk District Council of Deputies. Her managerial potential is well-known: for the past 10 years, she held a similar position in the Orsha region. In response to the question from the Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee about how the Vitebsk region, with the participation of the new manager, will grow, she confidently outlined the current realities. Today, the region's economy is primarily shaped by agricultural organizations. Elena Studențova considers the development of enterprises in the trade and services sectors to be important and sees reserves in reducing all types of costs. Significant points

support the increase in the efficiency of involving state property that is not effectively used in the economic turnover. Another topic that creates prerequisites for long-term growth is improving the investment climate, at least among neighboring states.

Nikolai Sherstnev expects high-quality work from the new director of the Kokhanovsky UPPH of Housing and Communal Services "Kokhanovo-ZhKH" of the Tolochin district, Sergey Kvyatkevich. The domain is familiar to him – his entire working career is connected with housing and communal services. For the last 9 years, he worked as the chief engineer of the enterprise. He knows firsthand that the communal system as a whole is a litmus test: it shows how clearly the huge mechanism, on which human comfort depends, functions. The main emphasis is on reducing the cost of thermal energy consumed by the population. It is no longer necessary to prove that working with local types of fuel has paid off – the cost is lower. Firewood, which is used for boiler houses in the Tolochin region, although cheaper than wood chips per cubic meter, is less efficient and economically advantageous than energy sources that run on the latter. Sergey Kvyatkevich will have to solve the "communal equation": to lease a crushing unit in order to produce wood chips themselves.

Nikolai Nikolaevich entrusted Vladislav Beynar with bringing KUSKhP "Vidzevsky" of the Braslav district to a new level. A graduate of the Belarusian State Agrarian Technical University has worked as the chief engineer at the enterprise for almost a year. Therefore, the transition of the young manager to the director's office of the farm can only be called a rapid career takeoff. The Deputy Chairman of the Regional Executive Committee, Viktor Askerko, does not hide: the farm is not simple. A shortage of specialists, debt obligations, and technological miscalculations do not allow the organization to form a coherent pyramid of production and economic indicators. The young leader is instructed to focus his efforts primarily on increasing average daily weight gain, milk quality, and milk yield per cow. Although the appointee has little experience, he has the desire to work. The role of a leader in an organization determines a lot. The head of the region recalled the requirement,

addressed to the Committee for Agriculture and Food of the Regional Executive Committee: do not abandon new leaders, but help them.

The appointment of Alexander Shokel as Director of PUP "Miory Meat Processing Plant" has been approved. The enterprise has increased its production volume, achieved net profit, and is operating at almost 100% capacity. Viktor Slavetsky, General Director of GO "Vitebsk Concern "Meat and Dairy Products", characterizing the work of the meat processing plant, voiced a promising direction for the procurement and processing of mushrooms and wild berries for further export, especially since the enterprise's refrigeration capacity allows this work to be carried out today. Nikolai Nikolaevich supported the initiative, emphasizing that its implementation will provide the organization with additional income. The task is to carefully weigh the new type of activity on the scales of economics and to search for sales markets.

Noting the positive dynamics of UPP "Uzhitsa-Agro" of Verkhnedvinsk district, the head of the region signed an extension of the contract for Director Alexey Garbul. The manager intends to strengthen his position and not stop at what has been achieved. Setting priorities on the organization's development map, he plans to expand the area of agricultural land. The tasks include maintaining the established structure of sown areas, which will allow for an increase in the fodder base and achievement of milk yield indicators.

Dmitry Yanukovich, Director of OAO "Postavy Rayagropromservice", received a substantial portfolio of tasks. It is necessary to seriously focus on working with personnel, especially with insemination technicians. After all, the quality of their work determines the success of dairy production.


The outcome of the personnel day was a discussion of approaches to changing the remuneration scheme in the livestock industry. By the way, this topic has been repeatedly raised by the head of the region. Such a step is justified: the region's livestock industry is experiencing a shortage of qualified, highly professional personnel, including young ones. One of the main reasons for the current situation is the mismatch between working conditions and their results and salary. It is planned that adjustments will be made upwards in

twice will be subject to salary increases for zootechnicians, veterinarians, farm managers, and insemination technicians. Everything will depend on specific results: for example, if there is an increase in milk yield, weight gain, or sales volume of products, the bonus is guaranteed. In such a scenario, one can earn around 2 thousand rubles or more. This innovation will begin to be adopted after multi-level approval procedures. It is possible that similar approaches will affect other employees in the industry. And this is a good springboard for labor motivation in the agricultural sector.
