Key insights from IT Meets: Talent:

👉 The war takes a lot of resources, and no matter how much we take care of ourselves, we are tired. Therefore, companies should continue to take care of the mental health of employees. It is important that HR professionals create an environment where employees can talk about their experiences without judgment. Volodymyr Stanchyshyn, psychotherapist.

👉 Transparency and openness to employees is the basis for trust. We hold regular “all hands” meetings, where we openly talk about the situation in the business of our partners and within the company. Maryana Horlach, CEO of Blackthorn Vision.

👉 Salary research will help companies stay competitive, properly budget projects and plan hiring accordingly. They will help to form decent salaries for employees and prevent staff turnover. Yaryna Wozniak, head of the Lviv IT Cluster research team.

👉 A business can develop its employer brand through volunteering. Companies that help bring Ukraine’s victory closer attract and retain talent more effectively. Now when a candidate comes in for an interview, they ask how the company is involved in winning. Olga Cheh, Head of the “Sombra for Ukraine” foundation.
