The current COVID-19 situation shook the world and greatly affected the overall wellbeing of people. We feel the difficult situation when working with clients who seek our help. We would like to let you know that we are continuing to work with enthusiasm and provide consultations in person and by phone or online. We are here for everyone who needs our support and help.
We are happy to welcome our two new team members, Katarína Bogáňová (Bogy) and Pavel Šiandor (Palko). We wish them much success and joy in their new work, and may enthusiasm and sense of humor continue to be a part of their life.
Pleasant work environment is important to us, so we decided to cultivate the small garden next to our building. Having fun doing something useful in the sunshine boosted our energy, especially after the few months of working from home during the COVID crisis.
As a team we enjoy moments spent together when we can combine fun with something meaningful. The picture shows how we enjoyed this sunny day.
In February we organized the first HR Roundtable in 2020 on the topic of the Feedback Culture. The HR community professionals had the opportunity to discuss and learn from each other, and although some HR topics are considered sensitive, best practices were openly shared and people inspired each other. Thank you to Orange Slovakia for hosting this great event.
Before Christmas our team decided to collect a donation for a crisis center Brána do života. The center accommodates women with children who have been abused and are in a difficult social situation. Together with company ProCeram, our team collected cosmetics and cleaning products. We believe that our help brought a glimpse of hope and joy during this Christmastime.
Sponsoring children in Africa was already mentioned on our blog previously. If you would like to know more about how the idea was born, you can read (in Slovak) an interesting and inspiring interview with our CEO, Miriam Lachova here:

The Christmas Benefit Concert to help the homeless in Bratislava was again supported by Human Dynamic Europe and attended by our team, our clients, partners and friends. Janais sang some beautiful Christmas songs, which brought the Christmas spirit, peace and joy into our hearts.
Our team was happy to volunteer again this year. Our colleagues conducted a workshop for seniors from the Senior Home Archa on the topic of Happy Relationships. We believe that the time spent together was enriching and inspirational for both sides.
On the First Sunday in Advent, we enjoyed a Christmas concert in Košice together with friends and partners. A great singer and pianoplayer Mária Čírová brought a beautiful Christmas atmosphere, peace into our souls and a huge smile on our face.
One of our priorities as a team is to take care of our own psychological and mental wellbeing. When we have the opportunity, we take time to have fun together in an enjoyable relaxing atmosphere. What else would be more appropriate in the fall than to have the local specialty of roasted geese with tortillas and red cabbage?! This time, we invited our partners to join us and even our vegetarians enjoyed it. :)
In November we organized another HR Roundtable, this time at DELL Corporation in Bratislava. We enjoyed the time together as the HR community and spend time on the topic of mental health, which is more and more relevant at companies and in people’s lives. Our psychologists, professionals with many years of experience, also spoke about the burnout syndrome and crises management at the workplace. The discussion of the participants was valuable, practical and inspirational.
