ABSTRACT

Modern applied economics is in conditions of a systemic crisis, which, on the one hand, is constrained by government policy, and on the 
other, by the actions of business. The accumulation of contradictions between subjects, organizational goals and opportunities to achieve them continues. To find the necessary resources, as well as search for reserves of labor productivity, effective tools are needed, primarily related to the use of developments in the field of applied economics and scientific organization of labor. The purpose of the study is, based on an analysis of unfolding trends, an assessment of the current situation in the use of tools of applied labor economics at enterprises, to determine the prospects for the development of domestic approaches, the accumulation of the best experience of the country's companies in these areas. Research methods: expert interviews with scientists (9 interviews were conducted with scientists with experience in scientific and applied research in the field of labor economics), as well as heads of departments at industrial enterprises (7 interviews were conducted with HR directors, heads of occupational safety and health departments and centers for improving organizational efficiency), analysis of documents and experience of the country's largest enterprises (the experience of 11 enterprises was studied). The results of the study showed that it is necessary to develop and transmit an up-to-date methodology for increasing organizational efficiency and labor productivity through the development of areas of labor economics in enterprises. The project “Labor Productivity and Employment” requires clarification of goals and approaches to achieving them. It is necessary to consolidate the expert community in the field of labor economics and assemble a universal methodology for the scientific organization of labor 2.0, its testing, taking into account modifications for different sectors of the economy. The results of the analysis can be useful to scientists in the field of personnel management, labor economics and organizational effectiveness to 
update the research agenda, as well as to enterprises that are interested in increasing labor productivity and personnel efficiency.
