Abstract

The article considers social and employee relations i.e. relations between employees and groups of employees in an organisation which aim at managing the quality of work life. The study determines the conditions which lead to the growing number of defaulting enterprises, the increase in the unemployment rate, and social disintegration resulting from irresponsibility of managers at all levels. The obtained statistical data allowed analysing professional relations as seen by top managers. The analysis demonstrated the critical state of employee relations in such spheres as agriculture, healthcare, science, and education. The analysis also showed that the governmental measures, posed as “advanced”, including the state demographic and retirement policies, do not in fact help to create jobs and do not promote the economic growth of the Russian Federation and the Voronezh Region. Digital economy, i.e. using digital computing technologies and automated desktops, is still underdeveloped. The article presents the ranking of parameters of social and employee relations in Voronezh. According to this ranking, the situation at the city’s enterprises is characterised as “failure” or “critical”, and thus the enterprises are not able to provide employees with adequate work. A strategy for the development of social and employee relations is suggested. According to this strategy, the government should fulfil its obligations regarding the inflation rate, taxation policy, income redistribution, education and professional training, social and healthcare services, support for the people beyond the poverty line, etc., while entrepreneurs should provide for adequate fiscal performance.
