Produkty Pitania proposes strategies for expanding Kaliningrad’s qualified workforce
— 2006-11-02 —

The Changing Market

As Russia’s consumer climate changes, so do its market conductions, thanks to recently amended Free Economic Zone regulations.  At the same time, Produkty Pitania, Kaliningrad’s major investor, is growing by leaps and bounds, attracting top-notch employees from throughout the region with its state-of-the art facilities and technologies.  

But given the favorable business climate, Kaliningrad is also drawing in plenty of new business development, which is having a profound affect on the region’s available labor force.  In fact, Produkty Pitania’s CEO, Stefano Vlahovic, has delayed opening his company’s new puff pastry production facility because of the recent shortage of qualified workers. 

As the region’s largest employer, Produkty Pitania offers competitive salaries, excellent working conditions, ample career opportunities, and an outstanding benefits package that includes free public transportation and meal plans, as well as paid vacations and bonuses for job longevity.

Proposed Recruitment Strategies

Produkty Pitania isn’t the only company facing employee shortages.  In fact, Kaliningrad’s Foreign Investors Association, under Vlahovic’s leadership, is looking at ways to attract newcomers to the region.  The Association is also proposing strategies for recruiting resident experts from abroad to provide on-the-job training for entry level employees. 

Produkty Pitania has used these strategies successfully in the past, bringing in foreign specialists to share their production expertise, by tailoring it to the local business environment.
