| Popis | The aim of this paper is to present and analyze opportunities for and barriers to cooperation between private employers and public employment offices in the Czech Republic, from the perspective of employers. The results of the study are based on two research surveys among selected employers in the Czech Republic: one survey was a quantitative survey in a selected region among all employers in the database of a local employment office; the second consisted of 19 in-depth interviews with selected employers in manufacturing and IT. Based on the research results, opportunities for cooperation can be seen in so called project conditions (Parsons, 1999), such as the attitude of employment officers towards employers, individualization and differentiation of approaches, better mutual awareness etc., but also in successive changes of legislative and institutional factors (a change in the rules for mediation services, a change in settings of employment policy and social benefits that would encourage the unemployed to work, etc.). The barriers to cooperation, on the other hand, can be seen in hardly removable structural factors, such as the structure and characteristics of jobseekers, divergence of goals and lack of mutual interdependence between certain employers and employment offices. |
