18:42 September 2, 2026

In our country, state enterprises create all the necessary conditions to ensure their employees feel comfortable. This particularly applies to social support. Workers are cared for from young to old. For instance, newcomers are trained on the job, each young professional is paired with experienced mentors, and every possible assistance is provided to help them adapt to their new workplace. Substantial assistance is also given to those who have long been established at the enterprise — they are offered benefits on medical services, given opportunities to engage in sports, and rewarded with bonuses and monetary allowances on various occasions. We found out what specific social guarantees are provided by several major enterprises of the Grodno region.

Oksana Adamovich, Deputy General Director for Ideological Work and Social Development of OJSC "GrodnoKhlebProm":

– OJSC "GrodnoKhlebProm" is one of the largest producers of bakery and confectionery products in our country. Its structure includes three branches: "Lida Bakery," "Novogrudok Bakery," "Slonim Bakery," and two production facilities: "Volkovysk" and "Smorgon." The enterprise employs more than 1,700 people. These are family dynasties, young professionals, and distinguished experienced craftsmen. Thanks to their labor and professionalism, products with a particularly soulful quality are created. Bread is a source of life, energy, health, and longevity, which is why we treat each employee who contributes to its production with care.

In addition to the guarantees provided by labor legislation, the enterprise offers additional support measures, including financial ones. In particular, all employees receive financial assistance for diligent work in connection with milestone anniversaries, for continuous work experience, upon the birth of a child, adoption and guardianship, in connection with marriage, in connection with a prolonged illness or after undergoing surgery. We provide financial support to employees when preparing their children for school — such support is provided to large families and families raising children with disabilities, as well as single parents. We also assist employees who find themselves in difficult financial circumstances.

Employees of OAO "GrodnoKhlebProm" are provided with material assistance on their professional holiday, International Women's Day, Defender of the Fatherland and the Armed Forces Day of the Republic of Belarus, New Year holidays, and the organization's anniversary date.

On their birthday, every employee receives from the enterprise a certificate for purchases at retail and public catering outlets of OAO "GrodnoKhlebProm."

The collective agreement of OAO "GrodnoKhlebProm" provides support measures for labor veterans as well. Upon retirement, employees are paid a severance allowance. Every year we honor veterans on the Day of Older Persons, organize festive tea parties, present commemorative gifts, and provide material support.

Special attention is given to young specialists and young workers. Out-of-town employees are provided with a place in a dormitory. The enterprise operates an institute of mentorship, which allows young people to adapt more quickly and settle into their new jobs. Experienced employees receive additional pay for helping in the professional development of young personnel. An incentive for extending (concluding) an employment contract for the maximum period is the payment of assistance to young employees in the amount of one month's salary.

OAO "GrodnoKhlebProm" creates conditions for the comprehensive development of personality and the fulfillment of creative potential through participation in various events. Involvement in the ranks of public organizations promotes active participation of citizens in public life. The united trade union organization of OAO "GrodnoKhlebProm" is engaged in improving the quality of leisure for employees, strengthening team spirit, and preserving corporate traditions. Our employees have the opportunity to attend concerts and performances free of charge, and to take part in excursions to interesting places and routes. A joint kayaking trip for employees of all branches has become a tradition of the enterprise.

Caring about health, the enterprise has organized voluntary health insurance for employees with at least one year of service, and dental services are provided free of charge. In accordance with the collective agreement, one-time material assistance is provided for sanatorium-resort treatment for employees and their children under the age of 14. Every employee has the opportunity to purchase a subscription to the aqua center on preferential terms.

Children of employees are offered recreation at health camps. The financial burden on the family budget is kept to a minimum thanks to a three-party payment system: 10% of the cost of the voucher is paid by the employee, another 10% is covered by the trade union committee, and 80% by the enterprise. For large families and single parents, vouchers to children's camps are provided free of charge. Notably, in 2026, 36 vouchers have been allocated, 31 of them free of charge.

We value every employee and strive to create conditions in which one can grow, develop, and be part of a large and friendly team.
