Może zabraknie mi słów by opisać ten poziom wydarzenia, ale warto znać by czerpać inspiracje od najlepszych. Premia #HRbrand to unikatowe coroczne wydarzenie które ponad 14 lat zrzesza najlepsze incjatywy HRowe w Ukrainie. Odrazu zaznaczę, że miałam wiele okazji w ostatnie 10 lat odwiedzać multum eventów w branży HR w Europie, ale takiego levelu jak wczoraj w Kijowie nie było nawet blisko. I oczywiście chodzi też o doskonałą organizacje w każdym drobiazgu, medialne wsparcie, niespodziewaną rozrywkową część z zaproszonymi celebrities, komfort i bezpieczeństwo gości, gustowny poczęstunek, napoje najwyższego gatunku, stendy niesamowitej kreatywności etc - ale nie to jest najważniejsze. Najbardziej zaskakujące były dwie rzeczy: 1) po-pierwsze to same występy, gdzie jak w kalejdoskopie laureaci dzielili się faktycznymi case-study (pełny konkret, mięso, a nie abstraktne oczywiste słowa) i to one są nie do przekazania: jeden z przykładów Państwowy przewoźnik kolejowy, który w czasie wojny wywiózł z Ukrainy miliony osób w tym dużo dzieci - w ramach odpowiedzialności spółecznej stworzył program rozwoju młodych liderów, gdzie nastolatki odbywają program typu MBA w dostosowanej dla nich formie. Ołbrzymia sieć stacji paliwowych w ramach smutnych zmian demograficznych na rynku pracy - szkoli kobiety jako kierowców ciężarówek i dostosowuje do nich stanowiska pracy. I takich przykładów, które wywołują pełny szacunek i zachwyt, mnóstwo. 2) a drugie - to niesamowity “vibe” ludzi, zazwyczaj na takich wydarzeniach panuje dość miła, ale jednak trochę sztywna i formalna atmosfera. Tym razem w powietrzu fruwała niesamowita otwartość, łatwość w nawiązywaniu relacji, dzielenie się open-mind pomysłami, błyskawiczne poszukiwanie wspólnych możliwości, boska kreatywność, zaangażowanie, ludzki interes do innych osób… mówiłam, że słów mi zabraknie, ale to i niemożliwe do przekazania przez słowa. Przypomnę, że to wszystko odbywało się z periodycznym wyłączaniem prądu i alarmami powietrznymi, co było zabezpieczono rzeczywiście w rzetelny sposób. Bardzo dziękuję Smart Solutions za okazje być dumną za organizacje z którą współpracuję i za Ukrainę 💛💙

People are a company’s greatest asset: why invest in team development? In times of change, employees’ knowledge, skills, and adaptability become key factors in maintaining competitiveness.
