Las Tunas, Cuba.- Hence, the Provincial Directorate of Labor and Social Security implements a plan of measures to achieve better use of labor resources and increase productivity and business efficiency.

In each of the municipalities, the offer of idle land is disclosed for delivery in usufruct to interested parties, the comprehensive employment approach is systematically evaluated, and access to non-state work is promoted and facilitated for the population, as part of the updating of the new economic actors, and the application of the regulation on distance work and teleworking is controlled, to promote the use of this type of employment.

The demands of the economy for the training and distribution of the qualified labor force are also coherently articulated at the municipal level, with investment processes and local development strategies, and the mechanisms to establish the organization of the salary system of state workers are readjusted in a decentralized manner, without the obligation to apply the single salary scale.
