35% of administrative positions have been cut, saving 71 million UAH!

Since the beginning of 2025, the “Stolychnyi Lisovyi Ofis” (Capital Forest Office) branch of the state-owned enterprise “Forests of Ukraine” has been operating with a new organizational structure and staff roster. The management of production, personnel, sales, procurement, and other areas has been centralized at the single branch level, and the former branch-leskhozes (forestry enterprises) have been liquidated.

Duplication of functions has been eliminated and the number of administrative staff has been optimized.

The number of administrative positions has been reduced by almost 35%! While administrative personnel expenses exceeded 200 million UAH in 2023, they are less than 126 million this year.

A portion of the saved resources was allocated to increasing salaries for production staff, specifically forestry workers.

Salaries for forest masters, tractor drivers, and drivers have been increased by an average of 20% since the beginning of the year.

We have 20% more new employees in production roles. For the first time in many years, we have not only managed to retain staff at the forestry offices but also filled vacant positions!

Our priority: less bureaucracy and fewer offices, and more skilled people equipped with vehicles and digital tools for accounting and control who are working in the forest!
