Mr. Ivailo Kalfin:

The headline trends indicate there is a problem. The shortages are due to the motivation of the people working in the transport sector. In most of these cases, this is not due to the salary any more, because the salary is pretty good. It also is not the skills - very often we say skills are the solution - because there are opportunities to be skilled. The problem is interest and making the area attractive. This concerns work-life balance; the possibility of working on a more flexible basis, which could be done, for example, with more flexible shifts. When we ask, for example, if workers have the time for something private during working time, if a child is sick, for example, can a worker afford one hour? Usually they say no, and that is a huge stress for them.
