(R)EVOLUTION OF THE SME SECTOR THROUGH THE LENS OF HUMAN CAPITAL
"Aware of the challenges that small and medium-sized enterprises face on a daily basis, especially in the field of human capital, we came up with the idea to gather insights and experiences to facilitate easier management of human capital in developing business systems.
The forum was energetically opened by our colleague Damir Nađ, Sales Director, who also moderated the event.
Mr. Nebojša Matić, owner and CEO of MikroElektronika, spoke about the key opportunities and risks when transitioning from a small to a medium-sized legal entity.
Radoš Gazdić, Acting Director of the Development Agency of Serbia, discussed trends in domestic investments and support for the SME sector.
During the panel discussion on ""Practical Examples, Opportunities, and Potentials of the SME Sector and the Competitiveness of Local Employers,"" the following speakers shared their rich experiences:
- Miloš Perović, COO, Termovent
- Marija Pantelić, Director of Sustainability, Bosis
- Vladan Buha, Director of People Operations, HTEC Group
- We discussed with Miloš Perović about the stage of a company's development at which the owner is ready to share the ownership and management structure, as well as attitudes towards hiring experienced candidates and the career development of workers.
Marija Pantelić provided insights into the tools for local companies to become competitive employers for global companies, the readiness of the HR sector within the SME sector for development towards the P&C component, and what sustainable business actually represents.
Vladan Buha revealed how global companies can support the development of local SME companies, reasons for potentially less turnover that would experientially benefit the SME sector, as well as sources of funding for new investments.
Nikolina Janković, Regional Assessment and Project Manager at Assert International, presented a case study of HR 360° with the idea that HR solutions should focus on optimizing every stage of an employee's lifecycle. Successful transformation of a company's organizational culture leads to increased profits, growth in the number of large projects and employees. Harrison Assessments is the tool used in this process.
We thank the speakers and participants for their great energy and productive discussion. See you next year in even greater numbers!"
