<\/span>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\nThe\u00a0Southern Ukraine Office of the European Business Association<\/strong>\u00a0kicked off 2026 with the launch of a new format for the HR community \u2014 the\u00a0EBA Odesa HR Tour<\/strong>. This initiative is a series of in-person company visits that allow participants, on the one hand, to see how HR processes are built and implemented in real business environments\u00a0as well as\u00a0to learn about the challenges faced by professionals from other companies and industries, and on the other hand, to exchange practical tools for employee development within their own teams.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe first visit\u00a0within\u00a0the project took place\u00a0on February 4 at\u00a0MTBank<\/strong>, an EBA member company that combines financial stability with the flexibility of a modern organization. The meeting brought together HR managers and business leaders who strive not only to improve internal processes, but also to foster a culture of open knowledge sharing within the professional community.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe visit began with a guided tour of MTB bank\u2019s key departments, offering participants insight into the bank\u2019s day-to-day business operations. This was followed by a presentation from\u00a0Oksana Furman, HRD of MTB bank<\/strong>, who shared how the company\u2019s values, corporate culture, and effective cross-department communication\u00a0<\/strong>are shaped. In addition, participants had the opportunity to see\u00a0how the Bank\u2019s HR department provides systematic and comprehensive support to employees<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 from structured onboarding, adaptation programs, and mentoring, to talent development, learning and upskilling initiatives, performance management, fostering a feedback culture, employee well-being support, engagement programs, and the creation of transparent career pathways. The discussion was held in a live dialogue format, with participants asking questions, sharing their own experiences, and jointly seeking solutions to the current challenges faced by HR professionals today.\u00a0<\/p>\nSpecial attention was also given to the tools used by HR professionals from member companies\u00a0to\u00a0retain\u00a0employees, increase engagement, and build trust between management and teams<\/strong>. These topics are particularly relevant for the Southern region, where the shortage of qualified talent\u00a0remains\u00a0a common challenge.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe Southern Ukraine Office of the European Business Association sincerely thanks the MTBank team <\/strong>for their openness, hospitality, and willingness to share their experience, as well as all participants for their active involvement and meaningful discussion.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
