On the 22nd of November, our partner Social Service Europe presented a new report on Recruitment & Retention in Social Services at the European Parliament in Brussels.
The report was commissioned by Social Services Europe to present the case for increasing investment in the social services sector so that new jobs can be created to meet the growing demand for social services. The recruitment and retention of workers is a problem that faces the sector now and in the future but it is also an opportunity to develop social services which meet changing social needs. To do this, the social services sector will need investment, a supportive legislative framework, an active social dialogue and recognition of its value to the economy and society.
Ahead of the report’s publication Social Service Europe published recommendations including specific measures to meet the needs of recruitment and retention in the social services sector.
During the event at the European Parliament our Board Chairperson Romana Belova was asked to join the panel to explain how Slezska Diakonia works to ensure quality staffing in the social sector.
