The purpose of the article is to study the realisation of labour productivity at Ukrainian enterprises through the concept of "decent work". Studying the current trends in the Ukrainian labour market in wartime, the authors note the growth of unemployment, loss of motivation for professional growth, migration, and the difficult economic situation in the country. All of this makes it urgent to search for legal ideas and guidelines that would restore labour to its natural meaning – to be a driving force for personal and social progress. To ensure progress in the area of decent work, the priorities of socio-economic policy in the near future should be actions aimed at: building the economic foundation, which is a prerequisite for solving problems in the area of employment; improving the institutional mechanism for regulating labour relations in the current conditions of development of the state and society; balancing the interests of employees and employers; and increasing the value of work. In order to improve management activities aimed at increasing labour productivity, РRJSС "Кyiv Соnfесtіonеry Fасtоry "ROSHEN" also offers consulting services of specialists in effective personnel management and training of managers in self-management. Certain economic and social indicators are necessary to evaluate the effectiveness of the project to improve human resources development. The following changes can be attributed to the positive ones: implementation and development of employees' individual skills; creation of a favourable social and psychological climate in the organisation; increase in employees' motivation; increase in the commitment of the organisation's personnel; providing employees with an adequate standard of living (high wages). Among the negative aspects that can be prevented are: dissatisfaction of employees with their position, incompatibility of the professional level of employees with the requirements of the workplace, lack of opportunities for self-realisation of employees. The positive social consequences of the project to improve the system of professional development of personnel are also formed outside the organisation: a favourable image is created, stable employment is ensured.
