This November, we want to talk about what we believe in: CEE talent. As Covid-19 threw global markets in disarray, and the one thing you are sure about is the fear of the future, we are hopeful. Join us on Thursday November 26th at 5pm (GMT+2) to learn more about how businesses can thrive in a challenging economy, priorities before and after CoVid, trends emerging in the CEE market and more.
Covid-19 threw global markets in disarray.
If you stop and check financial metrics for more than a few minutes, it’s easy to be discouraged.
Add massive layoffs and headquarters closing into the mix, and in the blink of an eye the one thing you are sure about is the fear of the future.
However, we’re hopeful. Adversity and resilient leaders are the perfect recipe for disruptive innovation that drives our ecosystem further.
We stand by that, and we believe that the Central Eastern European market can rise above the challenges posed by Covid-19, by focusing on our greatest asset: our talent.
Join us on Thursday November 26th at 5pm (GMT+2) to learn more about how businesses can thrive in a challenging economy.
We’ll touch on the following topics:
- What innovation looks like
- How priorities have changed before and after CoVid
- What are the trends emerging in the CEE market
- What opportunities are there for businesses to grow in trying times
- What the future of workforce will look like
- How culture comes into play in all of this
- How CEOs can facilitate growth
Our panel will be made up of experts in talent management, tech innovation and business development.
