Omsk region has started the next stage of implementation of the national project "Labor productivity and employment support"

Starting in 2020, the national project "Labor Productivity and Employment Support" was launched in the region, which includes three federal projects.:

- "Systemic measures to increase labor productivity";

- "Targeted support for increasing productivity in enterprises" (Targeted support);

- "Support for employment and increase the efficiency of the labor market to ensure productivity growth."

The operator of the Targeted Support project at the federal level is the Federal Center for Competence in the field of Labor Productivity, whose experts are already actively working at Omsk enterprises.

At the local level, the Regional Center of Competence in the field of Labor Productivity (RCC), established on the basis of JSC Agency for Development and Investment of the Omsk Region, became the operator. The head of the Agency, Evgeny Kovtun, talks about the main areas of work of the new department.

- Evgeny Vladimirovich, how is the work of the RCC structured?

- During the implementation of the project, we work closely with the Federal Competence Center, a development institute that helps specific enterprises optimize their processes. The center's experts travel directly to the production sites of participating enterprises and, together with the company's employees, implement a project to create an exemplary production flow using lean manufacturing tools. Subsequently, enterprises will be able to continue this work independently.

The RCC coordinates work directly in the region, replicates positive experiences and approaches to improving labor productivity from the federal to the local level, and organizes the exchange of experience between enterprises. We also provide training for regional experts. Several specialists have already been selected who are studying and simultaneously undergoing internships under the guidance of federal experts.

- What are the requirements for participating companies in this project?

- The project is designed for companies with revenues from 400 million to 30 billion rubles, related to one of the priority industries: manufacturing, agriculture, food production, transport, construction, housing and communal services. At the same time, the share of participation of tax residents of foreign countries in the authorized capital of a legal entity does not exceed 25%.

– Which Omsk enterprises have already been included in the project?

– To date, 9 enterprises are participants in the national project. In 2020, almost all of these enterprises (8 out of 9) are participating in the project under the guidance of specialists from the Federal Center. Next year, we plan to significantly increase the number of participants, and our Agency's specialists will join this work.

I would like to note that Omsk enterprises can choose the format of "independent" participation in the project, and the Agency has the opportunity to compensate these enterprises for the costs of consulting services in the field of labor productivity improvement.

- What advantages will the participants of this project get?

- GRATUITOUS ASSISTANCE from EXPERTS to improve the efficiency of the production process and training in lean manufacturing tools for employees of the enterprise, SUPPORT FOR EXPORT and participation in acceleration programs, PREFERENTIAL LOANS from the Industrial Development Fund of the Russian Federation in the amount of up to 300 million rubles at 1% for up to 5 years

- How can I become a participant in the project?

- The head of the organization needs to register on the website http://производительность .Russian Federation/ru, fill out a questionnaire and upload financial documents confirming the company's compliance with the criteria for participation in the project.
