The cornerstone of the study is an in-house survey of a group of 100 employees of a small company in the sector. The research was conducted in the form of a questionnaire survey. It was found that the sample of employees under study exhibited a high level of loyalty to their employer, as evidenced by a comparison of the length of their employment with the employer. A significant finding is the existence of symptoms of certain occupational health effects which, however not serious, can develop from individual problems into a systemic problem for the employer in a relatively short period of time. It has been shown that the employer's position on the labour market, and in particular in terms of the possibility of recruiting new workers, is not very stable, which is mainly due to a number of specific circumstances determined by the region in which the employer operates and the requirements of the employees' qualifications. Therefore, measures to strengthen the resilience of employees have been proposed as one of the options to delay the systemic problem of labour shortages. These include, in particular, the provision of various programmes to compensate for the physical demands and environment of the work activity. |
