Systemic changes in a company that is experiencing a period of restoration of key areas of activity are possible only when its staff feels supported by management and is actively involved in all key processes. And it is this approach that gives the most significant results and joint achievements for the entire team, because only when managers hear the people they work with every day is it the most effective tool for achieving the goal.
That is why, in order to ensure the representation of the interests of employees of JSC “State Joint-Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” in labor relations, in accordance with the provisions of the “Labor Code of Ukraine”, on July 30, 2026, a general meeting was held at the Company’s office, at which authorized representatives of the labor collective were elected. And this is extremely important, because it additionally gives the Company’s employees a legally defined tool for initiating important decisions – both for each of them and for the entire collective of the enterprise as a whole.
Considering that JSC “State Joint-Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” is a historically large and powerful state operator of the road industry of Ukraine, which is currently experiencing a period of reorganization of management processes, the key emphasis placed in working with personnel is that the Company is not so much concerned with a large number of employees as with their personal qualities, initiative, ability to implement technically complex tasks and the ability to overcome obstacles of any complexity on the way to achieving the goal.
That is why, during the year (July 2025 – July 2026), the Company’s management carried out a systematic policy of analysis, monitoring and further optimization of personnel not involved in the main type of activity of enterprises – operational maintenance and routine repair of public roads.
In the process of studying the work of the regional road maintenance workers, it was revealed that a certain number of people:
- are only nominally registered in the personnel departments of subsidiaries, and do not participate in work processes,
- they are accrued but not paid wages – due to which arrears are artificially formed, which can later be used in an attempt to bankrupt enterprises by third parties interested in embezzling property belonging to the State.
As of the end of June 2025, the company’s average number of full-time employees was 3,722 employees. As of the end of June of this year, it is 3,261 employees. It should also be noted that in the regional road construction companies, which objectively reduced the performance of road works, the reduction in the number of employees was much more significant than the general trend indicator. And the enterprises, which are systematically leaders of the Company and the road industry as a whole in the performance of road works, significantly increased the volume of work performed and increased the number of employees.
The uniqueness of JSC “State Joint Stock Company “Automobile Roads of Ukraine” is that a large number of employees, who once long ago joined the ranks of a large team, continue to work in it today for many decades. And in order to recognize the best of them – those who have been working at the company and in the road industry for over 40-50 years and have achieved outstanding results, the Company’s management is preparing special corporate awards for Independence Day!
