This year, the Institute intensified its activities with employers' tours, with the aim of identifying their staffing needs, providing mediation services and presenting programs which realize the actual subventions.
"Based on the review of all employers who have employed the most foreigners and those who have addressed the Mediation Office in the past three years, mobile teams visited 415 employers from coastal municipalities. By direct contact, mobile teams surveyed employers, introduced them to the benefits if they employ domestic workers and offered them mediation services in assisting them to find domestic labor," Ivanovic concluded.
