Man Power is considering the possibility of initially hiring 15–20 Uzbek workers, with the potential to increase this number up to one hundred people.
Discussions took place during the working trip to Croatia by a representative of the Migration Service of Uzbekistan, Mukhsinhodji Abdurakhmonov, according to the agency.
During meetings with representatives of Man Power, the parties discussed the employment of Uzbek specialists in the construction of railway facilities and other infrastructure. A phased hiring model was considered, which will start with 15–20 workers and can subsequently be increased to one hundred people.
The management of Radnik d.d. responded positively to the professional skills, diligence, and ability of Uzbek workers to quickly adapt to working conditions. The company expressed a desire to deepen cooperation.
During the visit, the delegation visited a construction site of one of the companies where Uzbek citizens work and spoke with these workers.
The discussions focused on working and living conditions, compliance with workers' rights, and social protection. Issues regarding professional and language training of candidates, recognition of qualifications, official salary payment, and protection of labor and social rights were also discussed.
The Migration Service of Uzbekistan aims to establish direct links between Uzbek specialists and reliable employers in Croatia while expanding opportunities for legal employment abroad.
