BSCF representatives sent a set of recommendations to mitigate the negative effects of the current crisis. BSCF outlined and delivered recommendations to the Minister of Economy and Government of Slovak republic yesterday.

The Slovak government, BSCF representing 29 major foreign employers, is urging the speedy implementation of concrete labor and financial measures to reduce the negative economic and social impacts of the current crisis on the business center sector - see the BSCF recommendations to Slovak Government.

“Shared service centers in Slovakia, given the level of digitization, are currently experiencing a minimal impact on the performance of their activities but must be thoroughly prepared for the coming months. Parent companies abroad and their clients are also affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and it is only a matter of time before the consequences of measures or recession will also be reflected in subsidiaries operating in Slovakia. We, therefore, propose to the Slovak Government a set of measures that would eliminate the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the business services sector, which is the third-largest sector of the economy in our country. We have been asking the government for more flexibility in the Labor Code for a long time, with greater urgency in the current situation for concrete labor and financial measures that would significantly help us operate more efficiently and overcome this difficult period,”says Gabriel Galgóci, Chairman of AmCham Business Service Center Forum (BSCF), which represents the largest employers in the field of business service centers in Slovakia.
