Future of working in the Waldviertel: opportunities and challenges
In the Wirtschafts.akademie.zwettl, a dialogue discussion from the Waldviertel Economic Forum recently took place, in which entrepreneurs, recruiters and HR managers exchanged the current challenges in the job occupation. Chairman Christof Kastner welcomed the approximately 40 participants and informed his observations on the current situation on the labor market in the Waldviertel. While the unemployment rose, there are immediately in the districts of Gmünd, Horn, Waidhofen/Thaya, Krems and Zwettl over 2,100.
At the event, Ernst Wurz, project manager of "Ticket to the Waldviertel: Working-Living-Life", presented a conclusion from 36 podcast talks. He emphasized the quality of life and the friendly neighborhood in the Waldviertel, which make the region attractive for job seekers. Employers should be recognized by inviting homepages and present social media activities. In addition, it is important for companies to offer alternative work models such as flexible working hours and fair wages. The communities also play a role when it comes to affordable living space and leisure opportunities.
successful approaches to recruitment
Vanessa Futterknecht-Flicker from the Kastner Group spoke about the success of the “Employees advertising employees” model, which represents an effective method for recruiting new talents. Thomas Schmallegger from the Lower Austria LGA Health Waldviertel GmbH emphasized the need for flexible working time models that are important for many employees. Udo Steininger from ISG Personalmanagement GmbH made it clear how important a rapid application process is for success in recruiting new employees.
Erwin Kirschenhofer, the branch manager of the AMS Krems, reported on the continuous successful mediation of job seekers at a time when new job seekers are always added. Despite these positive developments, the search for qualified workers remains a major challenge for companies in the Waldviertel
