Lack of skilled labour main challenge

Changes to education necessary to fix high structural unemployment
W
ith a gradual decline in the unemployment rate and a steady rise of
the number of jobs to choose from
Slovakia’s labour market experienced a successful
year in 2015.
But the new situation on the market
has underlined the paradox that employers
struggle with: despite its gradual decline, the
unemployment rate remains high, while employers complain about the shortage of qualified and skilled labour. Companies now pin
their hopes on new legislation that introduced
elements of dual education. Analysts see the
economic development in countries that are
Slovakia’s major trading partners as the key
factor for the development on the local labour
market.
Back to the pre-crisis level
Branch managers of Grafton Recruitment
agree that the year of 2015 was turbulent, with
the IT sector expanding and increased demand
for workers for the production sector reaching
pre-crisis levels.
“The labour market experienced a significant revival,” said Michal Batis, Grafton branch
manager in Bratislava. Under the influence of new
investments and projects, regions reported higher
demand for specialists for technical positions, IT,
HR, accounting, administrative workers with a
good knowledge of languages, and workers to take
care of clients - among other fields.
“There is a significant lack of IT specialists,
especially developers of concrete programming
languages, but also technical specialists and qualified manufacturing workers,” Dana Blechová from

labour market

Blechova Management Consulting told The Slovak
Spectator, adding that truck drivers and warehouse
workers have been missing from the labour market
for a longer period of time, too. Companies mostly
search for graduates from technical schools, either
secondary schools or universities, according to
Blechová.
“This reflects the need of the labour market
where workers for the production sector, IT but
also service shared centres (SSCs) are being sought,”
said Blechová, adding that in terms of the latter the
knowledge of one or even more foreign languages
is more important than even general education
level. Graduates of universities with an economic
focus also have a good chance for employment,
said Blechová, while employers choose graduates
also according to evaluation rankings and the
reputation of schools.
“There are schools that are known for their low
quality of studies and their graduates often end up
at labour offices after graduating,” said Blechová.
This is why it is important for students not only
to choose the right study field but also a quality
university.
But a look at statistics from the end of
October 2015 indicates that pupils or their
parents have hardly taken recommendations
of HR experts to heart. Based on data of the
Education Ministry, only 39,686 people study in
fields focusing on natural sciences and technical
sciences and out of a total of 162,568. On the
other hand, more than double, 89,305 studied
social sciences and related disciplines. In the case
of secondary schools, out of 230,761 students,
65,944 studied fields focusing on natural sciences and technical sciences and disciplines, as
compared to 138,964 studying social sciences.
A poor choice of school is one reason that
unemployment remains particularly high in some
regions, and some businesses in the country have
problems finding a skilled labour force for the positions they need to fill.
“This paradox exists in Slovakia perhaps
even more than in other countries of our region,
due to archaic methods of schooling, untargeted
education in sectors that have no application in
Slovakia,” Pavol Strapáč, country finance manager
at Adecco, told The Slovak Spectator. Slovakia’s
labour market stops functioning at the unemployment rate around 9 percent, Luboš Sirota, CEO
and general director of McROY Group, pointed
out while this is approximately double the rate that
is common in more advanced economies.
“The reason is the bad structure of Slovakia’s
unemployed, in combination with low mobility of
the work force,” said Sirota.

Structure of daily students at
universities in Slovak regions
(October, 2015)
Slovakia is a country where automotive and
machine industries are expanding, but the education is not able to produce a sufficient number of
engineers.
Another sector that struggles with the lack of
qualified labour force is IT, say HR experts.
“There the main reason is the inappropriate
structure of the Slovak university education, which
produces too many graduates in sectors like social
work or pedagogy, while technicians are missing,”
Sirota told The Slovak Spectator.
Strapáč also noted that there are too many people unable to find a job in the area of humanities.
“The solution would not just be declared, but
really close cooperation between the real market
and schools,” Strapáč told The Slovak Spectator.
Another related problem is the unwillingness
of Slovaks to travel for work.

for commuting for work on the part of employers
and the state could help,” Miroslav Garaj, country
manager for Grafton Recruitment Slovakia, told
The Slovak Spectator.
Companies in the most industrially advanced
regions of Slovakia (Bratislava, Trnava, Trenčín,
Žilina, Košice) are the most affected by this.
There is a very high portion of people who
lack almost any working skills and are therefore
almost unemployable, according to Mario Fondati, partner of Amrop. SSCs are also operating
on a highly competitive market for a qualified
labour, he noted.
“Many companies therefore have to hire
people that need a lot of additional training or are
trying to attract people from outside of Slovakia,”
Fondati said.
Expectations are prospective
Economic forecasts are optimistic and count
on keeping the economic growth that is significantly higher than the average of the euro area
countries, Ivana Molnárová, executive director of
the biggest job portal in Slovakia, Profesia.sk, told
The Slovak Spectator.
“It is thus possible to expect that the positive
development in the labour market will continue
also during 2016,” she said.
Molnárová described 2015 as an exception
when the number of new work places increased
by almost one-third compared with 2014 and the
jobless rate reached the lowest levels since 2009.
She believes that it will be easier for job seekers to
get a job while those who are employed but eager
to change their job will have more opportunities
to do so.
On the other hand, the situation for companies will be more complicated as for them it would

labour market
become more difficult to fill their vacancies with
suitable people as well as to keep their employees.
“Competition between companies will
sharpen significantly,” said Molnárová, adding
that this will happen especially in sectors which
already report labour shortages and which
require high qualifications.
In terms of what positions will be required
in 2016, Grafton expects the year to mimic
2015.
“We assume that several companies will
have a tendency to innovate the production
process with the aim of reaching a higher automation of production with stress on lean production and optimised processes,” said Marian
Mitošinka, branch manager in Trenčín. “Thus
we expect a demand for process engineers, quality controllers or project managers.”
Personnel professionals for Grafton in the
Bratislava Region expect that the IT sector will
be on the upsurge while there will be a persist-
ing demand for .NE, iOS and Android developers. SSCs and business process outsourcing
keeps growing and firms will look for leaders
and language specialists. In production, they assume more positions in R&D while employers
in eastern Slovakia are looking for such workers
too. Candidates with little chance of getting a
job include those with non-technical education
without knowledge of at least one world language. Graduates of non-preferred study fields
like social work, environmental management,
security management, leisure time animators,
tourism, public administration or mass media
communication will have difficulties. There
is a persisting problem with the number of
graduates in the legal and psychological fields,
according to Grafton.
“We often meet with candidates without
a chance to find an appropriate job,” said
Anna Ričányová, regional manager of Grafton
Recruitment in Košice, adding that this is true
mostly for graduates of managerial programmes,
lawyers, teachers, translators, graduates of
political sciences and international relations. “In
case of these graduates we build many times on
the knowledge of foreign languages and they
find jobs, for example in client service.”
But Jana Šimková, the manager of the
division of finances and banking at Grafton
Recruitment, added that it is not enough to
study the proper field when employers often
require candidates with experience. Employers
also welcome language studies, trainings and
internships at employers abroad.
“A significant benefit is their participation in various programmes, competitions and
participation in projects and activities outside
school,” said Šimková.

Slovaks abroad as a resource
Plenty of unused sources
The education sector and the unemployed are
the most often mentioned untapped resources on
the labour market. Drawing Slovaks back from
abroad and employment of older people are other
possibilities. Companies searching for qualified
workers are already actively searching for and addressing candidates among Slovaks living abroad,
according to Blechová.
“Most of them are satisfied on their with place
of work,” said Blechová, adding that those with
family contacts back in Slovakia or those who are
not so successful abroad may be responsive.
Sirota sees luring Slovaks back home from
abroad as a very complicated goal because such
people do not have any relevant reason to return,
other than homesickness.
Martin Krekáč, chairman and owner of
Jenewein Group and senior partner of Amrop,
cites the global index of competitiveness of talents,
in which Slovakia ranks in the top third out of
more than 100 countries. Krekáč believes Slovakia
cannot get by without hiring workers from abroad
for certain positions. In this sense immigrants may
be a chance for Slovakia, “if they as well as we will
manage to set up mentally for this process”.
Employment of foreigners is showing to be
only a temporary solution because after these
people find out what the situation in Slovakia is,
they move westward for higher earnings, according
to Sirota.
“Employing foreigners, because of the lack of
a qualified labour, will be inevitable unless an economic crisis occurs again,” Rastislav Machunka of
the Federation of Employers’ Associations (AZZZ)
told The Slovak Spectator.
Blechová also sees a so-far unused potential
in hiring older people, as companies often prefer
younger candidates who are less loyal and experienced and often more expensive.
“I know many qualified older candidates for
higher managerial positions who were not able
to find a job in Slovakia for more than half a year
and nobody even invited them for a job interview
and now they have even more interesting jobs in
Austria, the Czech Republic or Germany,” said
Blechová.
Sirota believes that there is a plenty of unused
resources on the labour market.
“But the problem is that many of those people
do not want to work [under real conditions],” he
said.
About 100,000 unemployed only have primary school education and the labour productivity
of many of them would be so low that it would not
be advisable for employers to employ them even
for minimum wage. Scrapping the minimum wage
and introducing a concurrence of salary and social
benefits would help these people to find a job,
according to Sirota.
Sirota also pointed to the low mobility when
people from so-called hunger valleys with high
unemployment rates do not want to commute or
move for work, while on the other hand, they often
have nowhere to move.
“For example, a seller will get less than
€20,000 for a three-room apartment in Rimavská
Sobota [in a hunger valley], a sum for which he
cannot acquire his or her own housing in western
Slovakia,” said Sirota and suggested that more intensive construction of rental housing would help.
Dual education and more targeted education
of students tailor-made to the needs of employers
is a solution that could bring additional resources
to the labour market, according to Krekáč, as currently many graduates end up unemployed.
Molnárová of Profesia.sk says that academia is
not interconnected with practice.
“Young people often study fields that will
not help them find a [proper] job on the labour
market,” said Molnárová. “As a consequence also
companies are unable to find employees with a
suitable profile, which forces them to search for
employees outside Slovakia and motivate them to
move in.”
Employers also see the education sector and
flexibility of labour market as areas for improvement.
decreasing Unemployment
Slovakia closed 2015 with the registered unemployment rate, the rate of those who were prepared
to take a job immediately, at 10.63 percent. In
annual terms, the jobless rate fell by 1.66 percentage points. The average registered unemployment
rate in 2015 amounted to 11.50 percent, which
was 1.29 percentage points less than in 2014, the
Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family
(ÚPSVaR) announced in mid-January.
“If we sustain this pace, we can attack the
magical 10-percent threshold as early as the summer,” said Prime Minister Robert Fico.
Labour Minister Ján Richter added that for
the first time since 1990, the number of jobless in
December was not higher than that registered in
November while he put the economic development as the key factor for this.

Slovakia keeps registering high long-term
unemployment and those without a job for more
than one year made up 51.7 percent of all the
unemployed. Ondrová of Poštová Banka sees the
low or unsuitable qualifications of these people as
preventing them from finding a job.
“Another factor is that we will find long-term
unemployed especially in districts with a high
jobless rate where it is in general difficult to find a
job,” Ondrová wrote in her memo, adding that the
longer a person is jobless the more difficult they
find it to get a job. “This is because employers are
afraid of lack of work habits in the case of these
people and thus they avoid hiring them.”
Molnárová of Profesia.sk traces long-term
unemployment back to the1990s when, “as a
consequence of the economic transformation a lot
of people lost their jobs and afterwards they failed
to establish themselves on the labour market under
new conditions”.
Sirota of McROY Group sees the bad structure
of the unemployed behind the high long-term
unemployment, who have a low qualification and
in case of part of them it actually cannot be found
out for what positions they would fit as they have
not yet worked at all.
“Apart from this such people have practically
no work habits and they do not search for job
actively,” Sirota told The Slovak Spectator, adding
that some subsist on social benefits while earning
extra money via short-term contracts and are not
interested in full-time work. n

tion into retirement. Such unemployment simply
cannot be reduced.”
Bank analysts expect that unemployment
would continue to decrease in 2016 while the
registered unemployment rate may decrease below
10 percent. They expect positive effects from the
arrival of the fourth carmaker to Slovakia, too.
The British carmaker Jaguar Land Rover (JLR)
plans to build a brand new plant near Nitra and
employ around 2,800 people in the new facility,
while thousands of jobs are expected to open with
subcontractors.
“We assume that the positive trend on the
labour market will continue also during 2016,” said
Ondrová as cited by the TASR newswire. “This is
because the Slovak economy should continue to
grow at a solid pace; conditions for the growth of
consumption should persist.”
According to McRoy Group, the growth of
employment should be supported especially by
increasing performance of the Slovakia’s economy
and the growing demand for Slovak products on
Slovakia’s export markets. Thus industrial production, specifically the sectors of automotive and machine engineering, should generate the most new
jobs. Traditionally, the strongest growth is expected
for the regions of Bratislava, Považie and Košice.
“Later we expect also a significant increase of
employment in Nitra and its vicinity; the reason
will be the announced investment of JLR,” said
Sirota. “But this will happen only after 2016
because the construction of the plant and induced
arrival of subcontracting companies will take time.”
Ľubomír Koršňák, an analyst with the UniCredit Bank Czech Republic and Slovakia, warned
that the structure of unemployed may slow the
decline in unemployment as there are still many
In absolute numbers, the number of jobless
ready to take a job immediately stood at 286,825
in December 2015, down by 44,908 people compared to December 2014.
The total unemployment rate in December
2015 was 12.40 percent, down by 1.45 percentage points in annual terms. The labour offices
registered a total of 334,379 jobseekers, a drop of
39,375 people year-on-year.
Bank analysts ascribe the decline in jobless rate
to favourable developments in Slovakia’s economy,
with growth dynamics in 2015 that were the
highest since 2010. Dominika Ondrová, an analyst
with Poštová Banka, indicated that spending last
EU funds from the 2007-2013 programming
period and a milder winter might be behind the
faster decline of unemployment.
“In spite of the positive development the
unemployment rate in Slovakia still ranks among
the highest within the whole EU,” Ondrová wrote
in her memo, when only seven members of the EU
reported a double-digit jobless rate in November
2015.
Vladimír Baláž from the Institute for Forecasting of the Slovak Academy of Sciences points out
that while the jobless rate in Slovakia, compared
with other EU countries, is quite high, most of
these unemployed are unemployable. He estimates
the natural rate of unemployment in Slovakia at
between at 8-8.5 percent. Even when the Slovakia’s
economy grew 10.4 percent in 2007, the unemployment rate was 11 percent.
“We are close to this bottom [of the natural
rate of unemployment],” Baláž told The Slovak
Spectator. “Such a rate includes people who have
low education or do not have it at all, and these
people simply will never work and can only transi-

Stemming brain drain
Interpreting statistics
The exact number of people who left
Slovakia and do not plan to come back remains
a mystery. It is impossible to count how many
Slovaks left the country and what education they
achieved, according to Vladimír Baláž, an economist at the Institute for Forecasting of the SAV.
“Our economy is harmed not only by those
who leave the country with university-level
education, meaning brain drain,” Baláž told The
Slovak Spectator. “But also when a 30-year-old
person with secondary-level education leaves
because he or she could produce value, pay taxes
here and contribute to the state welfare system.”
There are some studies that try to quantify
the problem.
In 2014, more than 2,800 people left the
country, about 17 more than the number who
came. Thus for the first time in Slovak history
the number of those leaving the country is
higher than the number moving in. Moreover, the number of emigrants is the highest
since 1993, since the establishment of the

n search of a good education and job opportunities, Martin Kanka, a 25-year-old
Slovak, decided to move 60 km from Bratislava to Vienna. He knew that he wanted to leave
Slovakia ever since he graduated from secondary
school at the age of 20.
“Leaving Slovakia wasn’t that much about
hating something in Slovakia; it was more that
I felt I will have a better education and more
opportunities in Austria,” Kanka told The Slovak
Spectator.
Slovakia witnesses the situation in which the
number of people in productive age who left the
country is higher than of those arriving. While
most of them leave the country for an obvious
reason – salary, the second biggest group is irritated by poorly run state.
While the Education Ministry is battling
brain drain with grants for Slovaks graduating abroad, observers point out that without
improving the economy there is little to be done
to reverse the trend.
“Besides economic growth and prosperity in
Slovakia, I don’t know the measure which could
effectively draw people, who have decided to
stay abroad, back to Slovakia,” sociologist Miroslav Bahna of the Institute for Sociology - Slovak
Academy of Sciences (SAV) told The Slovak
Spectator. “There is one solution used before
1989 – to close the borders.”
independent Slovak Republic, according to
the data of the Demographic Research Centre
(VDC).
The centre calculated the number from
those who cancelled their permanent residence
in Slovakia. The VDC data was published by the
Financial Policy Institute (IFP).
However, the trend that saw Slovaks leave to
go abroad was the greatest shortly after Slovakia
joined the European Union in 2004, Bahna
pointed out.
“In fact, instead of describing the current
situation, this number says that some people
who left the country in past decades are officially
cancelling their residence in Slovakia with some
delay,” Bahna said.
The Business Alliance of Slovakia (PAS)
estimates that more than 300,000 Slovaks work
abroad either short or long term, while additional about 30,000 Slovaks are studying abroad.
Most of them study in the Czech Republic, but
many in Germany or Austria as well.
The exodus of professionals can increase
inequality in society especially in sectors such as
health care or technologies, because salaries in
those sectors will increase while in others will
stagnate, according to Brian Fabo of the Central
European Labour Studies Institute (CELSI).
“There is a visible trend in our region connected to this development,” Fabo wrote on his
blog, “as salaries of doctors are growing fast because they can easily leave for a better life when
compared with increase of teachers’ salaries.”
Reasons to stay abroad
In October 2015, PAS conducted a survey
Talents for Slovakia in which it asked respondents why they live abroad and what would
motivate them to return. In total it surveyed 132
people working abroad and 81 people studying
abroad.
“It is alarming that only less than onequarter of Slovaks studying abroad plan to live
in Slovakia,” Peter Kremský, PAS executive
director, wrote in the press release. “In case of
those working it is 9 percent; almost 70 percent
of the respondents are preparing to stay abroad
indefinitely.”
When asked what would inspire students
to return home, 46 percent of surveyed people
listed higher wages, order and prosperity was
the most important for 39 percent of people.
Family finished third with 33 percent, according
to PAS.

Kanka agrees that improving how the
country is run could be convincing, but from
following Slovak news and politics he does not
see a plan to move the country forward.
“Government basically just reacts to current
events and pursues populist policies to stay in
power,” Kanka said. “To feel the perspective
that Slovakia is going to catch up with western
Europe would be an important factor for me to
return.”
People want to live a decent life in a country
which is well governed so their enthusiasm,
energy and knowledge are rewarded for their
own good and for the good of the whole society,
according to Mario Fondati, partner of consulting company Amrop.
Drawing brains back
The Education Ministry wants to lure
Slovak experts living abroad to the public sector
in Slovakia. The cabinet gave the green light in
early July 2015 to a grant scheme supporting
their return. The money is destined for Slovak
citizens who graduated from a prestigious
foreign university and is designed to encourage
them to return home.
Young experts will get €10,000 while
the government wants to allocate as much as
€50,000 for senior experts. The sum put aside
from the state budget should be enough for
some 50 people.
Bahna estimated that nearly 50 percent of
recent graduates who studied abroad return
to Slovakia within two years of getting their
diploma (including students from top 150
universities of the Shanghai chart) according
to a survey he worked on with sociologist Oľga
Gyárfášová.
Moreover, the government’s stimuli would
draw back just 5 percent of the working
respondents, according to the PAS study. The
Education Ministry responded that its duty is
not to deal with migration of Slovaks and its
programme is focused only on academic environment and state administration.
“Therefore we are not dealing with
comebacks for lower positions or private sector
conditions,” the ministry’s press department
told The Slovak Spectator. “We are responsible
for the education sector and in this sector the
return of people with foreign know-how is
desirable.”
Other approaches
What Education Ministry is doing is
unsystematic, and when the funding is cut those
people will leave again, according to Igor Šulík,
managing partner of Amrop.

“Finances should go towards change and
initiatives which can make Slovakia an attractive country that is worthy to work in,” Šulík
told The Slovak Spectator. On the other hand,
Slovakia can still offer possibilities for professional development, according to Michal Kovács
of Leaf, the non-profit organisation focusing on
development of young individuals.
For Slovaks abroad, Leaf launched a programme creating and curating job and internship opportunities, scholarships and volunteering opportunities to develop young talented
Slovaks living abroad, reconnect them with
Slovakia and facilitate their homecoming.
People can achieve more in a shorter time
in Slovakia than they could in more developed
countries and they have more possibilities to be
creative, according to Kovács.
“People have the opportunity to test a new
product on fully integrated European market with
significantly lower risk; several banks could be an
example,” Kovács told The Slovak Spectator.

Martin Hošták told The Slovak Spectator. “The
education sector is a big challenge, particularly
university-level education, because our economy
will feel the migration of our best students more
and more intensively.”
The state can do something with employment and salaries “but those are long-term processes, you cannot expect miracles”, Baláž added.
Learning from the experienced
Programmes battling brain drain in foreign
countries such as Ireland or Israel could also
be inspiring for Slovakia. The Irish periodically
meet with the diaspora of clever Irish abroad
who give advice to government’s institutions on
how to develop the country. They also help to
draw foreign investment to Ireland, according
to Kovács.
Moreover many of them came back after the
economic situation in Ireland improved, according to Baláž.
“The Irish have an advantage that they speak
English, therefore their barriers for migration
are weak and many of them went to the United
States,” Baláž said. “Currently they are coming
back as the situation improved.”
Israel, with its aim to become the homeland
for all Jews, has more than 10 state-supported
organisations connecting Jews with Israel. They
organise travel for young Jews to the country of
their forefathers, scientific researches with Jewish
experts at world-recognised universities and
organise community projects in less developed
parts of Israel, according to Kovács.
Opportunity for Slovakia
The lack of educated and skilled people
combined with a low birth rate in Slovakia can
be an opportunity for Slovak firms to employ
the long-term unemployed. Another solution
for some of them is to bring foreigners to work
in Slovakia: carmakers drive in employees from
Romania or Bulgaria, according to Baláž.
The number of foreigners in Slovakia is
increasing only mildly. There were around
14,000 working foreigners in Slovakia in 2008
and the number grew by just 4,000 people by
2015. Most are Romanians, Czechs, Hungarians and Polish. From countries which are not
in the EU, Slovakia is popular with Ukrainians, Koreans and Serbians, according to the
Statistics Office.
“We should deal with the problem from the
other side [not luring them back],” Bahna said.
“The people that leave should be replaced by
skilled people from countries that would find
Slovakia an attractive destination.” n

Leaders for What’s Next Need to
As part of our 25th anniversary celebration Amrop Global CEO José Ignacio Leyún accepted
the invitation of Amrop Slovakia to celebrate this milestone in Bratislava. We are honoured
that this exceptional professional and trusted advisor to many international CEOs and
boards congratulated us personally on our anniversary that also marks 25 years of human
capital consulting in Slovakia. During his visit J. I. Leyún was the guest of honor at our
traditional Meet the New Chiefs event – where Amrop introduces local as well as global
leaders to the Slovak business community. We are happy to share with you the main ideas
from his interview with a focus on Leaders for What’s Next and what distinguishes them
in a world with so many variables.
The world today offers many challenges. If
you write the word crisis with Chinese characters, there are two signs – danger and opportunity. Do you perceive the word crisis as
having this dual possibility?
In any crisis, like on a coin, there are two
sides. One could be considered a risk, but obviously there is also another side that is an opportunity. These days we face some very tough situations from many points of view. And I would
agree with the Chinese approach, meaning that
in every crisis there is always a risk but as well
an opportunity. We can take the lessons from
the risk during crisis and say that those who
survived the crisis – at the end of the day – are
in a much better position for future challenges.
You are giving advice to businessmen and to
their businesses. So from the business point
of view are you saying those who surrender
to danger will perish and those who persist
and are innovative will survive?
Absolutely. We need to find new solutions
for the new situation we are facing; the world
is changing constantly and the speed is much
higher than before. To handle those situations
you need to be flexible, you need to be persistent, you have to be innovative, and you need
to take a completely different approach. The
old recipes and the old solutions don’t apply
anymore and you have to take an innovative
mindset to really face and survive those situations.
Is there a chance that the financial crisis
could return or is it over and the solutions
are perfect?
These days, because of how society is evolving, nothing is definitive, nothing is guaranteed, and nothing is finished. The markets will
evolve, so I think this is just the temporary
solution that has been found in this moment
in time for fixing the problems that we are facing today. This is something that will be very
present in our lives from now on. Everything is
changing, and no solution will be definitive. We
cannot assume that the problem is completely
fixed. Tomorrow we will be facing a completely
new situation and new problems, and we will
have to be flexible and open-minded enough to
really face them.
In this regard do you think there are opportunities to find long term solutions for companies you are advising?
Some of the problems are really significant
problems. They are very good reflection of how
the society and the world are evolving these
days. And it is also somehow a reflection of the
problems that our customers are facing. Companies are constantly under threat, because
their markets, customers, products and competitors are changing constantly. Globalisation
is affecting all of us in many ways, so what is
happening in political terms is also a reflection
of what is happening in the corporate world.
Our customers, our managers, in changing
environments they need to adapt constantly,
and they need to face new problems and find
new solutions. Globalisation is underway everywhere and is affecting all of us. And the closer
we are to our customers the more impact we
have, the more in demand we are to really give
them support and advise on key issues. So this
is the new game.
Do you think that this could go another way
and that globalisation would slow down or
stop at one point because of these problems?
No, on the contrary, I expect globalisation will become deeper, bigger and faster. Any
company in any sector will be significantly
affected more and more each day because of
globalisation and access to information, to the
internet and to everything. I expect the globalisation to continue to be the key issue for all of
us. Now every single business and every single
issue can be really taken to the global level, and
therefore you cannot think only locally, you
have to think globally. Even if local knowledge

is important to your market, globalisation will
be very high on the agenda for any corporation.
How and where do you search for future
leaders and directors? Does your search include for instance startups or other businesses?
Our obligation whenever a customer retains our services is really to look for the best
talent no matter where they are, so I would say
that for us whatever company works on is not
a restriction. We are always looking for certain
characteristics from a personal and professional
point of view. Therefore, we do not disregard
people, whether they are working in a stateowned company, a privately owned company,
family owned company or a startup business.
We are really looking for talent in no matter
what form or where they are working. One of
the advantages that we provide to our customers when we do a search is to really do the best
possible mapping and provide them information that demonstrates how deep and wide we
have done our work and research. And at the
end of the day we come to some conclusions
and some names that are the most talented people to fix the problems that the customers face.
Are you convinced that invention and good
ideas are the things necessary for a good
business?
Definitely. These days what you can really get easily is money. What we are missing,
what sometimes is really missing, is the idea,
is the positioning, is entrepreneurial spirit,
and the innovation. But if you really have the
good idea and the good approach, money will
come. What we are grappling with these days
is a significant scarcity of talented people –
finding the right people for solving problems
or bringing new ideas, innovating in the business, doing the things in a different way…
We need new approaches; we need different
people with new competencies, because now
the environment is so different that we cannot
do things the way it used to be done before.
Today there is a clear move to develop what
are called startups. There is a clear move to putting money in new ideas and into new businesses. The best example is what is happening in
California in Silicon Valley. There you really see
how people are willing to invest into new ideas,
new plans, and new projects. And by the way,
if those ideas, those projects do not work or fail nothing happens. They just close them and start
something new again. The approach to a failure
and how to handle those situations is changing
as well. Failure is not taken any more as a key
issue and just because you failed does not mean
you have to fail again. In fact, just the opposite
– sometimes, the more you fail, the more you
are likely to succeed in the future. So that type
of thing is happening in Silicon Valley and it
can be taken and is already exported to other
countries. One of the lessons of the recent crisis
is that we will need to take new initiatives and
new approaches; technologies are driving our
life these days, so anytime there is an invention,
technologically driven, it immediately receives
support. This is the trend and it will be clearly
a trend for the future development.

So you are searching for individuality and
personality and not for human resources?
Well, one could be an approach and one
could be a definition. At the end of the day we
are looking for people according to our customers’ needs and their definitions. So from that
point of view whether we call it human resources or talent it’s similar. But what is really important these days is that companies are looking
for a certain profile of people, because of what
is happening in terms of globalisation and the
speed of changes. The type of profiles that we
are looking for have changed significantly when
compared to previous years. Now, companies
have to face different problems and therefore

seek experiences
Though students at technical schools have
mandatory practical training, it lasts only two
weeks which companies consider only “babysitting”. ZAP and its members thus decided to
offer a three-month training programme to
students, said Holeček when explaining why the
SPICE project was launched.
The project functions similarly to Erasmus.
Participating faculties have to create space for
students to spend time directly in firms, for
which students earn credits. The aim is that
students cooperate in specific projects, but can
also prepare their diploma thesis based on the
practice in the company, Holeček explained.
The pilot project was launched during the
2015-2016 school year, and is attended by seven
students.
Also companies near Košice, which focus
on IT, have established cooperation with local
schools. The Košice IT Valley association, whose
members are active in supporting socio-economic development, education and employment in eastern Slovakia as well as research and

ot only secondary school students,
but also young people at universities
need to spend some time directly in
companies to obtain some practical experiences,
representatives of the business sector agree. To
prepare them better for the labour market, there
have been established several collaborations
between firms and universities, yet obstacles still
remain that hinder cooperation.
“It is not easy as universities can live also
without companies,” Jaroslav Holeček, vicepresident of the Slovak Automotive Industry
Association (ZAP) which runs a project called
SPICE in cooperation with six faculties, told
The Slovak Spectator. “But what motivates us is
that we need quality graduates from technical
universities.”
Most of the existing collaborations have
been established in technical and natural science
specialisations, said Andrej Hutta, special advisor of European Public Policy Partnership. He
considers the current state “only the beginning
of the route towards successful application of
schools’ capacities for the industry and economy
needs”.
tion technologies, have several projects running
at two universities: the Technical University of
Košice (TU KE) and the University of Pavol
Jozef Šafárik.
“Since the needs of the labour market and
the requirements concerning graduates of both
secondary schools and universities were not met
sufficiently, the companies joined the education
process within the cooperation with schools,”
Kristína Kertészová, executive director of Košice
IT Valley, told The Slovak Spectator.
The Faculty of Electrical Engineering and
Informatics of the Technical University of
Košice (FEI TU KE), for example, was the main
organiser of the Live IT Projects, within which
116 students in 29 teams solve specific projects
for practice ordered by 14 subjects.
“The project of such type and extent has no
precedent in Slovakia,” Roman Cimbala, vice
dean of FEI TU KE, told The Slovak Spectator.
Moreover, T-Systems Slovakia, which cooperates with TU KE, runs specialised lectures,
exercises, seminars, and practical training for
students. They also help with student projects,
theses and also competitions for IT students.
“Our aim is to continue in developing the
active partnership with the university or several
local universities, and thus link the interests
of academia and the business sector,” Zuzana
Schools and companies addressed by The
Slovak Spectator agree that the cooperation is
beneficial for both sides. Students get handson experience and the possibility to use their
theoretical knowledge when solving concrete
problems, use the most up-to-date technologies
and know-how of the companies, and become
better prepared to accommodate the labour market needs. Some of them may even stay working
in the firms.
Moreover, also schools themselves benefit
from the cooperation as they receive information about industrial production trends in the
region so teachers can modify the teaching, said
Cimbala.
Though the need exists for companies to
have qualified and experienced employees, the
problem is that companies often complain about
insufficient labour force rather then be active
and establish cooperation with a specific school,
Holeček said.
The firms also need to realise that they have
to take care of the students and offer them some
kind of benefits, like food, contribution to their
commute and accommodation, and also some
reward for the work he or she does, he stressed.
Also schools have to be flexible and create conditions for students to work in firms,
Holeček said.
Faculties often lack the subjects that would
allow students to have practical training, according to Kaňuchová.
Another problem is insufficient state support. A change to the teaching process and curriculum is crucial for teaching natural scientific
projects which should reflect actual needs,
according to Kertészová.
Human resources cooperation is also necessary. Since teaching at schools and also teachers
are often underestimated, it is necessary to make
society-wide change.
“Companies in this field substitute the state
since they have to solve the problematic situation they face in terms of hiring professionals
necessary for the successful operation of their
business, but this is not sustainable,” Kertészová
added. n

HR requires creative approach
Companies compete locally but also with foreign firms

W
ith an improving economy, the labour market is reviving, posing new
challenges for employers. The lack
of qualified labour force on one hand, and the
growing requirements on the part of potential
employees on the other create unique challenges.
The Slovak Spectator spoke about these and
other issues that HR experts currently face with
Luboš Sirota, president of board and general
director of McROY Group; Miroslav Garaj,
country manager at Grafton Recruitment Slovakia; Pavol Strapáč, country finance manager
at Adecco; Martin Krekáč, chairman and owner
Jenewein Group and senior partner of Amrop;
Igor Šulík, managing partner of Amrop; and
Mario Fondati, partner of Amrop.
The Slovak Spectator (TSS): What are
the new trends on the labour market over the
past year? Have there been any significant
changes?
Luboš Sirota (LS): Although there’s been
no sudden change on the market, the ongoing
economic growth and the subsequent increasing
demand for employees resulted in the offer of
qualified labour force being exhausted. Companies thus face challenges they had faced before
the outburst of the economic crisis in 2008:
despite a high unemployment rate they have
problems to fill all the vacancies with appropriate people. The requirements for candidates
have decreased (often the willingness to work is
enough), while many companies try to search for
workers abroad (mainly Romania and Bulgaria,
but also the number of Czechs and Moravians
working in Slovakia has increased).
Miroslav Garaj (MG): The year 2015 was
turbulent due to the global situation and trends,
the IT sector expanded and the demand for
production workers increased. Due to new investments and new emerging projects, the labour
market automatically responded to the current
trends and needs of employers, not only in the
capital, but also in other regions of Slovakia.
In the Trenčín Region, we registered a higher
interest in specialists for technical positions with
focus on quality, engineering, project management, production, logistics and lean management. In the Bratislava region the demand was
mainly for administrative workers with good
language skills. In the production sector, mainly
experienced engineers in automotive production
were in demand.
Martin Krekáč (MK): After several years of
stagnation last year was a year of growth. Optimism has begun to return into the economy,
companies started to invest more and that has
positively impacted the labour market. Another
big change for the common market in the
European Union is linked to over a million new
potential workers that will eventually enter the
labour market, for which neither Slovakia, nor
the EU is ready.
Pavol Strapáč (PS): Just like in all spheres
of life, also on the labour market new, innovative
forms of searching for work as well as searching for people emerge. New technologies are
becoming ever more important. In the past
people sought work only through the web and
specialised websites, nowadays they use also
mobile applications like Facebook, Twitter, and
LinkedIn. Employees are not interested only
in the salary; they also want to know about the
work conditions in general, the benefits, offices,
air conditioning, and the location of the factory
or the offices.
TSS: Which alternative forms of work
are most widely used in Slovakia and how
interested are employees in part-time jobs,
home-based work, or shared work positions?
LS: Employees, for instance mothers of
young children, students, pensioners, show
interest in part-time jobs, but the availability
of this kind of work is significantly lower than
demand and Slovakia in this respect significantly
lags behind western European countries. It’s
similar with work from home. Home office is
becoming one of the most demanded employee
benefits (together with additional holidays), but
the offer of this type of work still lags, despite its
significant increase. As for shared positions, both
offer and demand are rather low. The reason is
that it is demanding in terms of administration
and processes. The most often used alternative
form of work remain limited time work agreements (“na dohodu”), which to a large extent
take the place of part-time jobs. Also there has
been a decrease in the past, due to the stricter
legislation and this trend remained also in 2015.
MG: The most frequent alternative is parttime work. Employees often show interest in
working from home or shared working position,
but the character of most jobs on the market
doesn’t allow for that.
Igor Šulík (IŠ): Part-time jobs and homebased work have been on a rise. More and more
younger people are interested in jobs that do not
limit them about when they work and where
they work as long as they can balance work and
life. Having a considerable portion of shared
service centres (SSCs) in our country, people
working there have to be flexible to work at the
time when their counterparts are working in any
region of the world and if they can do it from
home, the companies have a tendency to allow it.
GENERAL PARTNER
trends
PS: In Slovakia people are still not completely familiar with alternative forms of work,
but also in this area trends are positive, people
are interested in alternative forms, mainly in
working from home or part-time jobs that are
interesting mainly for mothers on maternal
leave. These forms of employment are used
increasingly mainly because there are many
opportunities to make money and secure one’s
family, not just with one job, but a combination
of jobs. These forms of employment then allow
people to combine the job they like doing with
a job that is necessary for their survival due to
the salary.
TSS: Slovakia is facing the paradox that
the unemployment rate remains rather high
in some regions, but some businesses in the
country have problems finding skilled labour
for the positions they need to fill. Which
sectors are most affected by this problem and
what are the solutions you see as plausible?
LS: Slovakia’s labour market stops functioning at an unemployment rate around 9 percent.
It’s approximately double the rate that is common in more advanced economies. The reason is
the poor structure of Slovakia’s unemployed (for
example about 100,000 of them have completed
primary education only), in combination with
low mobility of the work force. Companies in
the most industrially advanced regions of Slovakia – Bratislava, Trnava, Trenčín, Žilina, Košice –
are the most affected by this situation. It’s mainly
industrial companies in the area of automotive
and machine industry. IT companies too have
problems with people in the long run, but there
the main reason is the inappropriate structure of
the Slovak university education, which produces
too many graduates in sectors like social work or
pedagogy, while technicians are missing.
MG: It is most visible in the production sector, mainly at qualified positions where certain
knowledge or skills are required. One of the
problems is that generally secondary schools and
universities do not prepare their graduates for
real work life, but are limited to theory. Another
problem is the big unwillingness of Slovaks to
travel for work. A well-functioning system of
connections between schools and companies,
and a bigger support for commuting for work
on the part of employers and the state could
help.
Mario Fondati (MF): There are many
people among the unemployed who lack almost
any working skills and are therefore almost
unemployable. Based on the structure of industry, companies lack qualified labour in many
production areas. SSCs are also operating on
a highly competitive market for qualified labour.
Many companies therefore have to hire people
who need a lot of additional training, or try to
attract people from abroad. And we should not
forget that there is still a lack of IT specialists.
PS: This paradox exists in Slovakia perhaps
even more than in other countries of our region,
due to archaic methods of schooling, untargeted
education in sectors that have no application
in Slovakia. On the other hand, as a country
where the automotive and machine industries
are expanding, we are unable to secure education and a sufficient number of engineers. This
problem is also seen in IT, where we are also
unable to fill the gap, while in humanities we’ve
got too many people who cannot find a job.
The solution would not just be declared, but
really close cooperation between the real market
and schools. Something has started last year but
that’s too little.
TSS: What are the expectations of job
applicants and how have they changed during
the years of crisis?
LS: Expectations are gradually growing.
While during the crisis they have dropped significantly, at the moment they’re back to pre-crisis
level. The pressure on raising salaries increases,
as does unwillingness to work overtime. Benefits
like flexible working time, additional holidays
and home office are required. Work-life balance
gets ever more important mainly for young
people. Generation Y that starts dominating the
market doesn’t want to live to work, but work to
be able to live well. These are the people whose
parents often did not have time for them when
they were children, and they don’t want to treat
their kids equally. That is why working time is
often more important for them than money.
MG: Expectations change based on age and
sector. Younger candidates expect the company
to invest time and money into them and push
them forward in their career, but they show less
loyalty towards the company. People with 10
and more years of experience rather seek a more
stable environment and expect that they will
have a chance to pass their experiences on. Compared with the crisis time, people put more focus
on remuneration. They realise the economy is in
good shape and therefore they demand higher
pay for their work.
IŠ: People active on the labour market are
slowly becoming more flexible. Although still
not completely common, they are becoming
more open to relocate for a good job. They have
continuously become aware that the benefit
system has shrunk and is not so important for
them to make a decision to join a company. It
is a common notion that people are willing to
work more for even less for the time being.
PS: Young people have incredible requirements and compared with the past they are only
slightly willing to sacrifice something for their
requirements that are often financially overdone.
As a result, you have a self-confident person
(which is a positive change compared with
the past when people had low self-confidence)
sitting in front of you at the job interview,
but their self-confidence is often not justified
because their skills are disproportionally lower.
This is a big change compared to the past when
we would meet people willing to work for a few
euros long and intensively with the aim to work
their way up. Today it’s vice versa, expectations
are high but the offer, that is the willingness to
sacrifice oneself for the work, is low.
TSS: What are the main challenges HR
managers are facing nowadays?
LS: It’s the lack of labour force in combination with talent competition. Companies
face not just a lack of workers as such, but the
value of those really talented, engaged, and
creative people increases too. HR issues need
to be approached creatively. Additionally, local
companies must compete for people not just
among each other, but also with competitors
from abroad.
MG: The growth of the Slovak economy
brings new types of positions in great numbers
to our labour market, therefore the biggest
problem and challenge is to find good-quality
people. It is a great challenge to keep one’s
employees as long as possible and be competitive
with new attractive employers who are arriving
to the market.
MF: HR departments are still confronted
with the same task – to achieve more results with
limited resources. Additionally, often they have
to solve the acute lack of experts for some positions, like in industry and IT, since the offer of
university graduates is small and does not keep
up with demand. At the same time, HR managers in many areas become strategic partners
of top management, and are thus required to
understand not only human resources but also
the nature of the business and its needs.
PS: Today the position of an HR manager
is perceived in a much more complex manner
than in the past. An HR manager is expected to
be an equal partner for a CEO and CFO. Effective and good-quality selection of people and
a sensibly set up internal processes in personnel management very intensively influence the
whole company. Therefore HR managers are
invited to influence key decisions. The triangle
CEO-CFO-HR is becoming key in the life of
many companies. n

Succession planning is a necessity
Passing a family business is a long-term process
Echelon of activities and steps
The owner of a family business has two principal possibilities for securing a successor. They
either have children or a member of a wider
family or must identify a successor from outside
the family. Both possibilities have advantages as
well as disadvantages.
In the case of a direct offspring, the advantages are the continuity of the business, linking
up to the same values, knowledge of internal
relations, bigger motivation to develop the family business and thus also the family’s assets. But
it may happen that children are not interested in
the family business, have different career plans or
simply are not suited for doing business. Some
founders of companies admit these things only
with difficulties, but a sober evaluation of the
real situation can help prevent following conflict
or problems.
Since transition to another generation is a
demanding and long-lasting process, it is necessary to start dealing with it early and in an ideal
case also plan it formally. It is worth preparing
several alternatives.
Entrepreneurs only rarely realise that the
process of succession starts already when their
children are small or of school age. Already at
that time parents can anchor them in the values
that the family cherishes. Children watch their
parents or grandparents when doing business
and see that such effort requires persistence, time
and energy. During their studies they can help
in the family business, obtain their first working

ven though modern technologies are
penetrating all parts of life and even taking over jobs once done by people, most
factors undermining long-term development
and success still depend on human talent. Making and official implementation of decisions can
propel a company for decades, and succession
planning is a key part of the strategic planning
process that is often overlooked.
Successful succession follows certain rules
and it depends on several circumstances. International surveys find that just 30 percent of
family businesses survive into the second generation and only 10-15 percent manage to transfer
a business to the third generation. Respondents
cite failed succession planning or disinterest of
the next generation in the existing business as
reasons.
experience and see how the individual parts of
the business work. Such part-time work can
gradually transform into a full-time job, while
it is ideal that the offspring works in various
departments and advances from lower positions
higher up. Some owners of companies make a
mistake when they install their children directly
into managerial positions without considering
whether they have qualities for such positions.
In such cases, they expose their children to
tremendous pressure from both themselves and
other employees.
If a successor gains a proper overview of the
company and masters also managerial positions, he or she can gradually become a partner
of the founder and participate in strategic
decisions. This is the phase in which it can be
assessed whether he or she, in the company as
well as outside of it, has managed to build up
an authority and respect and whether he or
she is prepared to take over management and
responsibility for the company. During this
whole process the role of the founder within the
founder-successor relation changes, too. The role
of the founder can gradually change from the
director and the exclusive leader into a partner
or he or she can completely withdraw from
everyday executive functions.
A well-managed succession process should
secure the company stability and continuity
during the transfer to the next generation. Of
course, each case is individual when family
background, the field of business and situation
on the market matters. Clear and timely communication over the process towards employees,
clients and other partners outside company
helps. Respectable relations in the family, mutual
trust and support from other family members, as
well as clear and trouble-free ownership relations
have a positive influence. As is the case during
any financial or legal issues, in cases of succession it is possible to consult with family, friends
or consultancy companies.
How are things Slovakia?
As many as 82 percent of medium-sized
companies in Slovakia are family businesses, and
many successful companies have grown up here
during 25 years of a market economy. Today,
many entrepreneurs or business families that
started doing business in the 1990s are facing
the decision of what to do next with their own
company and are solving the task of transiting
into the next generation. In some companies
this has been already happening, the process
advances continually and successors are participating in management. In some individual cases
they have already taken over the business.
In spite of this, there is still a large group of
entrepreneurs who underrate the process of the
succession planning and start dealing with it
only at the last minute. More and more of them
realise that with timely and proper preparation
they can avoid unpleasant or even complicated
situations. They are also better prepared to deal
with unexpected events, like the sudden death
of an owner or declining health, that can occur
without an adequately prepared successor. n

manažérov, personálnych riaditeľov a všetkých
zamestnancov spojili a nadchli pre dobrú vec. Cieľom je
na štart behu 21 km pre deti pozvať čo najviac bežcov
z radov kolegov, klientov či obchodných partnerov. Všetky
finančné prostriedky získané zo štartovného putujú
priamo na účet Linky detskej istoty, ktorá je hlavným
organizátorom behu.

ale aj budúce generácie. Aj preto sme podporili vydanie nového CD Janka
Lehotského Moje mladšie ja. Prezentácia albumu bola súčasťou vernisáže
rovnomennej výstavy výtvarných diel, ktorou známy spevák, jeden
z najúspešnejších skladateľov slovenskej modernej populárnej hudby a líder
skupiny Modus pred verejnosťou premiérovo odkryl aj svoj výtvarný rozmer.
