Social and economic efficiency of organized vacation services for employees

Vacation recreation, especially in the form of organized services for employees, is an important element of social policy of the State. However, the activity of many recreational centers owned by the employing institutions is characterized by low social and economic efficiency. The increase in that efficiency can be achieved mostly by means of economic and organizational tools, provided that certain conditions, both external (i.e. not pertaining to a recreational center) and internal (i.e. concerning the center), are met. It has been assumed that recreational centers should be run on an internal self-supporting basis, with self-financing as a tool of increasing the economic efficiency. It is indispensable to use all ways of reducing the costs of exploitation, eg. through joint undertakings with other centers, rationalizing employment and offering services on the open market. The changes in the system of managing the recreational centers should bring about a considerable increase in their economic efficiency; in turn, such increase should ensure the growth of social effect of vacation services.Digitalizacja i deponowanie archiwalnych zeszytów RPEiS sfinansowane przez MNiSW w ramach realizacji umowy nr 541/P-DUN/201
