I wrote a little something on how we try to keep our remote team engaged, connected and in the thick of things. 🙌 With remote work on the rise, what strategies have you tried out to keep engagement and "the human element" of work at a high level? 🤔 Thanks to all the folks at BB Agency for a) being such great colleagues, b) participating in all these activities with much gusto, c) giving me time and space to write this blog! 😊 #employee #engagement #team #bonding #remote #activities

Is 2+ 2 always 4? It's not so obvious 😊 In business analysis and finance, it depends on many factors and ratios regarding costs, revenues, product price, taxes etc. Last week we organized a finance workshop for students at our Warsaw office. What did they include? 👉Discussions on the specifics of working in the finance department at Philip Morris 👉Solving practical business cases (financial and business analysis) 👉Getting to know our experts in the finance department 👉A tour of the office, pizza time🍕 and snacks 😊 And now it's time for the recruitment process for the internship program in our finance department and the selection of people at the Assessment Center 🙂 #internship #intern #trainee #workshop #finance

I recently won a consultation and had the chance to talk about workplace conflicts and my role in them with Kateryna Mysenko. Here are some important takeaways I’d like to share: 📘 -Clear Requests: Making a clear request is key to solving problems. 🗣️ -Shared Responsibility: Everyone involved needs to work together to resolve conflicts. 👥 -Adjustment Period: Every staff rotation is accompanied by a period of adaptation. ⏳ -Systematic Management: Moving to systematic management saves resources and prevents problems. 📊 -Leader Involvement: Team leaders must be involved in all processes. If not, HR ends up fixing everything. 🚀 -Communication Skills: Regularly working on assertive communication skills is essential for the team. 💬 -Advice vs. Recommendations: We mostly give recommendations, not just advice. 📝 -Face Your Fears: Always head towards what scares you. 😱 Remember, it’s not effective to try to solve everything for everyone; it can affect my main duties and morale. Effective teams are the heart of HR resources. 💪 P.S. From a simple request, we uncovered many questions and uncertainties. It was a great session, thanks to Kateryna Mysenko expertise and professional approach. Thanks a lot and looking forward to our next meeting! 🌟 What do you think about these insights? 🤔

Hello LinkedIn community, My name is Andrei Ivanou. I am a former Associated Partner of Civitta and former Co-founder of an IT company called Techvice. Former, because this is how Civitta company or its affiliated legal entities (Mediapark, Singleton and others) treat their M&As - just run down a business and get rid of competitors.  I can't have it all in just one post, so I've decided to make a series of articles revealing the way they work with ordinary people, treat minor shareholders, distribute budget, make decisions, cheating with clients and much more.  I am well aware of the fact that I will never recover what was stolen, so my goal is to shed light on the truth for the benefit of potential clients, current employees, and future prospects.  For current clients, employees and partners it is a perfect opportunity to stop, have a look around and rethink everything that is happening. Maybe you are dealing with the wrong company. If anyone is interested, please, feel free to DM me. I am absolutely sure I am not the only one, so If have had a similar experience feel free to send me a message, maybe together we have more chances for justice.  #BusinessEthics #Transparency #CorporateAccountability #IT #Advisory  #Innovation #Funding #Impact

My name is Anastasia Vervenko, and I am the co-founder of the international marketing agency Promo_ME. With over 20 years of experience in marketing, I have progressed from a specialist to head of marketing departments, consultant, and advisor to founders of IT companies. It was in this advisory role that I identified a common problem, which inspired the creation of Promo_ME. Too often, marketing departments focus on metrics—such as lead numbers, likes, comments, and reach—while rarely being held accountable for the final outcome: return on investment (ROI), shortening the sales cycle, and driving real business growth. I realized that marketing shouldn't just be about likes, creativity, and attractive presentations; it must deliver real value to the business. That’s how the idea for Promo_ME was born—an agency that isn’t just an executor of tasks but a true business partner for our clients. Our сore principles: * Accountability for results�We don't just generate numbers in reports; we strive to ensure that every action we take delivers real results in terms of increased profits, shortened sales cycles, and business growth. * Partnership with clients�We see ourselves not merely as contractors but as an extension of our clients' teams. We immerse ourselves in the essence of their business and help find essential solutions for achieving strategic goals. This is why we work with only 2-3 companies at a time, allowing us to fully engage with our clients' businesses. * Flexibility and adaptability�We adapt to changing market conditions and the evolving needs of our clients. Our approach does not include one-size-fits-all solutions; we provide tailored strategies designed to deliver specific results. At Promo_ME, we believe in genuine partnership. Our success is measured by the success of our clients. We don’t just complete tasks and report on metrics—we aim for the strategic growth of our clients' businesses.

PM Modi's visit to Poland marks a significant milestone in strengthening the ties between India and Poland. Poland, with its rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture, is a hidden gem that holds immense potential as a major tourist destination for Indians. Currently, many in India are unaware of the beauty and experiences Poland has to offer, but this visit could open new avenues for cultural exchange and tourism. On the business front, entrepreneurs from both nations have long collaborated, laying a strong foundation for trade and investment. This high-level visit will undoubtedly accelerate their efforts, paving the way for multifold growth in business partnerships. Exciting times lie ahead for Indo-Polish relations, with new opportunities for collaboration across various sectors. #pMModi #Poland #Indopoland #politics

Right now, there is a really good opportunity for the collaboration of public authorities with #Crowdfunding platforms, for the following reasons: 1) The ECSP-R creates a harmonized regulatory framework across Europe. More than 190 platforms have already received the license. I am going to present the latest figures this week and next week. From my earlier research it shows that crowdfunding platforms mostly operate less than three countries, which makes them best suitable https://lnkd.in/etKmd7TN 2) The new framework for the cohesion policy allows more collaboration between public authorities (managing authorities) and crowdfunding platforms. On behalf of DG Regio, we provided several modes of collaboration in this report. https://lnkd.in/eHJMUcbm 3) It is not necessary to always start with direct match-funding, but there are other ways how a public authority can collaborate with crowdfunding space, even just by observing which projects get funded. This can be found in this publication: https://lnkd.in/eKPDvGdF 4) There are hundreds of examples of how public authorities work together with crowdfunding platforms and we are in the process of collecting more examples. The list of examples which we released a few years ago can be found here: https://lnkd.in/eCCHdKH3 5) Finally, there is an increasing demand from public authorities to use crowdfunding as a way to push the digitalisation of government services. Therefore, I am really thankful for Piotr Majewski, the CEO of FindFunds.pl to invite me for a brief input with the regional authorities in Western Pomerania today.
