Evaluation of the labor potential of industrial enterprises

Abstract

Improving the quality of labor potential at industrial enterprises is an important issue, especially in the postpandemic period and due to the introduction of digital technologies. The article analyzes the management of the labor potential of industrial enterprises. Its major aim is to develop an algorithm for monitoring the assessment of labor resources as a mechanism for managing the labor potential of industrial enterprises. Data of a local enterprise JSC “UKAZ” for 2019–2021 (the enterprise) were used as the object of labor potential study. The main provisions of the labor resource management theory are considered. The goals and objectives of the modern labor resources management system for large industrial machine-building enterprises of Kazakhstan are determined. The analysis of the structure and dynamics of labor resources, the use of working time of the labor potential, the labor force movement, the structure and dynamics of the enterprise wage fund was carried out. Negative trends have been identified, i.e. a decreasing number of labor potential, a deviation of the labor potential structure from the norm toward exceeding the proportion of managers vis-à-vis workers. Shortcomings in the wage fund formation and distribution are identified. Measures are proposed to improve the labor potential management at an enterprise, i.e. to manage human capital development based on expert management methods and constant monitoring of the state of labor resources and the professional and qualification status of each specialist, his compliance with requirements of the innovative development strategy of the enterprise.
