Organizacja holenderskiej służby zatrudnienia
Streszczenie
The article discusses the organizational structure and principles of activity of the Dutch
public employment service. It operates in conditions of a market economy and it is composed
of the following organizational units: the Central Employment Bureau, the Regional Employment
Bureaus, the Employment Bureaus, and the Occupational Training Centres. On Boards of
each of these units there are representatives of federations of employers, trade unions, and government officials. Such organization of these bureaus not only makes the State responsible
for formulation of the employment policy but it allows for such policy to be created by
entities influencing directly the processes occurring on the labour market.
Executive decisions are decentralized. They are made in the regional bureaus, with
allowances being made for specific characteristics of local labour markets. The main tasks of
an employment bureau include intermediary functions in finding jobs, training and requalifying
the unemployed In the process of adapting qualifications of the unemployed to requirements
of the market an important role is played by the so-called ’collective labour agreements’ and
branch employment plans. Owing to the separation of intermediary and socio-welfare (provision
of unemployment benefits for unemployed persons) functions, the Dutch employment service
can better solve the problems existing on particular labour markets. The organizational
solutions presented in the article may serve as models, which could be partly borrowed by
the institutional sphere of the Polish labour market.
