Personnel Day: Appointments of Deputy Chairmen of the Vitebsk and Senno District Executive Committees Approved

To work effectively, observe technological discipline, and soberly assess the necessity of implementing initiatives at the local level, carefully weighing them against economic considerations — this is the postulate of personnel decisions made by the Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, Nikolai Sherstnev.

The appointment of two Deputy Chairmen of the Vitebsk and Senno District Executive Committees, overseeing housing and communal services and construction: Sergey Dmitriev and Viktor Mozov, has been approved. The task is to accelerate individual housing construction in the districts. To achieve this, it is necessary to work more intensively with dilapidated and vacant buildings. After all, it is no secret that what is not tied to a purpose is destroyed faster. We are reminded that there are all the legislative levers to work with unused facilities in rural areas today. Therefore, the placement of the comma in the sentence "to demolish, not to leave" is under special control. If the "verdict" is to demolish, the bonus to it is the effective development of the freed-up land. This includes its involvement in the agricultural sector, rural business projects, and agro-ecotourism. However, such an outcome is visible precisely where all interested services work together. Then the village comes to life. Hence the fair demand: to put things in order on the land not for the sake of a checkbox, but so that it becomes more pleasant for everyone to live, work, and relax. And this is one of the steps that provide for the creation of a large-scale and much-needed project for the hinterland — the village of the future. The main goal is to make the life of rural residents no worse than urban life. For example, in preparation for the regional "Dazhynki" festival, which will be held in Vitebsk in 2020, comprehensive improvement of the "necklace" of the northern capital is planned: the settlements of Kirovo, Oktyabrskaya, and Mazolovo.

An important criterion for evaluating the work of the Lepel District Department of Internal Affairs, headed by Dmitry Borodavko, approved for the position of member of the District Executive Committee, should be, according to the head of the region, not statistics, but prompt response to the dynamically changing situation, emerging challenges and threats. The situation with drug-related crime in the district center, where many young people live, who are most susceptible to the influence of drug dealers, must be fundamentally changed.

substances. However, in the pursuit of eradicating this social evil, ensuring public safety, protecting the economy from criminal pressure, and combating corruption should not be excluded from the list of priorities. Moreover, in the "battle" with the latter, a strong immunity should be developed in society. In this regard, prevention is also important, not only in word but also in deed.

— Legality and order are a common cause. The effectiveness of their provision largely depends on the direct and coordinated interaction of the police with the district executive committee. By working together to eliminate problematic situations, issues, and negative manifestations in society, much greater results can be achieved, — emphasized the chairman of the regional executive committee.

In the focus of Nikolai Sherstnev's special attention during the personnel day is the work of the agricultural sector. The winter stall period is the most responsible for the livestock industry. The coldest time of the year is a strict examiner; it shows how the owner worked from spring to autumn to provide feed for the cattle. Winter once again makes it clear that the key moment is the preservation of livestock, its productivity, and health. The organization of animal reproduction in **PK "Olgovskoye" of Vitebsk region** is a task for **Vasily Sidorov**, who recently became its chairman. The agro-manager, invited for an interview, was instructed to seriously focus on personnel, especially on insemination technicians. After all, the success of dairy production, and indeed the "breathing" of the entire organization's economy, depends on the quality of their work. The manager was also pointed out the discrepancy between working conditions and salaries for this category of workers. Hence the message is to apply the developed regional remuneration scheme. And this is undoubtedly a good springboard for their motivation in the agro-industrial complex.

The contract extension block was opened by the heads of **farms "Konstantinov Dvor", "Mereckie" of Gluboksky district, Alexey Ermakovich and Alexander Loginov**. The directive for enterprises is to produce more milk and improve its quality characteristics.

Another main topic of conversation with

with the management corps — the implementation of "dairy products". Valery Dulinsky and Petr Arabchik, heads of the Gluboksky Condensed Milk Plant and the Tolochin Cheeses branch of Vitebsk Meat Packing Plant OJSC, know that today it is only half the battle to produce high-quality and consumer-demanded products. It is no less important to sell them. The final sales result is influenced not only by price and quality, but also by the enterprise's competent marketing and sales policy. An important option is the ability to win consumer interest. In conditions of tough international competition, it is not easy to stably secure a place on the intended export showcases. Therefore, Nikolai Nikolaevich directs the managers to work with the conjuncture of the domestic market first and foremost, in order to clearly understand their customer and, based on this, form a product portfolio. The formula is simple: if there is an effective strategy, there is your own shelf.

To eliminate debt for energy resources — such an instruction is addressed to the director of Obolsky Ceramic Plant OJSC, Pavel Manak. The problem was revealed by the high energy component in the cost of manufactured products. Despite the fact that, according to the chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee's Economy Committee, Anzhelika Nikitina, many production indicators need to be improved, revenue per employee is moving upwards.

To revive the economy of the Vitebsk Instrument-Making Plant is the mission of director Oleg Kolkov. The timid dynamics of recent years are a good trend, but the profitability is only 5%. The solution lies in reducing cost mechanisms and producing high value-added products.

Positively assessing the work of Vetrazy Plant OJSC, Nikolai Sherstnev announced an upcoming working trip to the enterprise. The organization assembles parts and components for the products of the Mogilevliftmash enterprise. Under the leadership of Anatoly Sivko, the plant is reaching new heights, discovering interesting prospects for cooperation and establishing new partnerships. The target indicators for the socio-economic development of the enterprise are growing geometrically.

progressions: be it the volume of innovative products or the profitability level. Technologies and the economy are proportional to wage growth here.

OAO "Invet" also has its own distinct mark, one of its areas being the production of goods for the machine-building industry. Under the leadership of Sergey Gromadko, the organization is successfully working on expanding cooperative ties. MTZ tractors and Gomselmash harvesters are equipped with Invet fuel tanks. Similar ones are being developed for the "Kirovets" of the St. Petersburg Tractor Plant, and there are orders from "Rostselmash."

The direction of progress is objectively clear to the managers. The economy is the most important area right now. And difficult situations, from which one needs to emerge with minimal losses, require new approaches in management. After all, the main reason for successes and miscalculations lies with the leader and their attitude towards work.
