A place of “strength” and inspiration, exchange of experience and networking.Kateryna Kovalevska wait for us next year, we went to prepare 😉

Yesterday was a momentous, in my opinion, event — HR Pro Awards. Firstly, it was very professional and authoritative — hundreds of participants representing the profession, 50+ experts, each of whom evaluated dozens of projects in 11 nominations.

Secondly, it was very interesting — the projects presented once again highlighted the people-centric approach of business. Thirdly, it was the recognition of the profession - large-scale and absolutely. HR is the “heart of the company”.

Today was not just a well-designed conference, it was saturated with different and valuable real cases. Cases about system development and digital transformation of the business, which has already brought the first millions. Do you know what united all the nominees of the contest? This is passion and sincere love for their work. The same big purpose that motivates to create completely new at the industry and country level.

HR PRO AWARDS 2021. Expertise with the Soul! This is the taste of live communication, presentation of projects and networking at mega-events this fall. I was lucky enough to be a project expert and to have insight into every project. Through the projects, the pain of business, technology, and professionalism in their use are clearly visible. Thank you, Kateryna Kovalevskaand the team HR PRO Associationfor super organization and your hot heart ❤️🔥

There are people you can't help but admire. And Catherine is one of those. And I know for sure that many people in my environment think the same way 🥇🔥 The level of organization of the HR Pro Awards was so high that it is simply impossible to do better! 🏆 It was impossible or very difficult to believe that such a national scale event could really be done in such a short time and at such a high-quality methodological level. Kateryna Kovalevska, but you and your team did it despite all the difficulties and challenges (and there were a lot of them, I know for sure

HR Pro Awards Conference 2021. It is cool to see the atmosphere of unity and the level of professionalism in modern HR. Interestingly, the industry in which ambitious HR projects are implemented does not matter at all - telecommunications, agro, IT, production. As always, the people behind it matter. Kateryna Kovalevskathank you for this opportunity!
