WKO on tour: performance agenda for Voitsberg's companies presented

Von WOM

The WKO on Tour has reached the Voitsberg district, where WK Styria director Karl-Heinz Dernoschegg visited numerous companies together with various representatives of the regional office. This regional initiative opens a direct dialogue with the companies, with the tour in the sugar mill in Bärnbach began with breakfast for the young economy, in which Dernoschegg made important statements about the current economic and work Situation.

Dernoschegg emphasized that willingness to perform and personal responsibility in today's society must be promoted more. He explained that prosperity in Austria had to be fought and was by no means a matter of course. "We have to raise awareness that every day requires new efforts," he made clear, pointing out the challenges that workers face in the face of an opaque tax and social system.

The new performance agenda

As part of these activities, there were also discussions about the new performance on the program. This agenda aims to strengthen people's will to perform in the country. Dernoschegg and regional position chairman Peter Sükar demanded a clear change to create a society, reward performance and are not inhibited by bureaucratic obstacles. "We have to ensure that in Austria those who want to work more also receive opportunities and incentives," emphasized Dernoschegg.

An important point of the discussion was also the problem that every third in Austria has now accepted part -time work. This phenomenon, according to Peter Sükar, was partly the result of a tax system that creates less work incentives. "Working hours are reduced unintentionally, and many who want to work more have to wonder if it is worth it," he said. Statistics show that the average working time in Austria is only 32.4 hours a week, which is worrying in an international comparison.

  • A central concern of the performance agenda is that more performance also has to have more recognition and reward. Today hard work is punished by high taxes and taxes.
  • The reduction of unnecessary bureaucratic regulations should support entrepreneurs and promote innovative strength.
  • A change in the mentality in which only required without making your own contributions is considered threatening for social stability.
  • The education system must be reformed in order to better promote personal responsibility and talents of the students.
  • A rethink in the perception of work and competitiveness is also necessary to strengthen Austria.

Another point on the agenda was the continuation of the advertising campaign for the construction of a bypass of the B70, which is of crucial importance for the economic development of the region. "A powerful economy needs a good infrastructure," emphasized Sükar, which also emphasizes the importance of the upcoming environmental impact assessment.

This initiative, which was started with the WKO on tour, is intended to help analyze the economic situation in Voitsberg and beyond, and to develop strategies that meet the challenges of the modern labor market. More details on this topic can be found in a detailed report www.meinbezirk.at .
