Charter of Human Capital Resilience: Major Businesses Join the Project.

More than 20 companies, including Nova Poshta, Ukrzaliznytsia, and Oschadbank, have agreed to participate in the development of the Charter of Human Capital Resilience in Ukraine. This was reported by Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine Tetiana Berezhna during the creation of the Working Group on the Development and Implementation of the Charter of Human Capital Resilience.

'Preservation and resilience of human capital is a joint task of the state and business. We have significant potential in the labor force in Ukraine, which needs to be activated and engaged in economic activity together with employers,' emphasized Tetiana Berezhna.

According to her, the potential labor force could include Ukrainians who want to work but have not found jobs in the labor market, lack the necessary education or skills, are temporarily employed, intend to relocate, or are in a difficult psychological state due to the war.

'We need to understand how we will attract and bring various categories of people back to economic activity. We want to create a platform that will live, work, and develop every year. Ukrainian companies have already demonstrated their readiness to adapt and support employees in the face of challenges. The next step is a joint development of an effective mechanism that will help develop talents, support veterans, integrate displaced persons, and ensure the long-term competitiveness of the economy,' noted the head of Korn Ferry in Ukraine Roman Bondar.

'The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development is pleased to support the Ministry of Economy in the development and implementation of the first Charter of Human Capital Resilience in Ukraine in cooperation with Korn Ferry. The restoration and resilience of human capital are of utmost importance for the EBRD in Ukraine. The Charter focuses on the role that employers can play in meeting business needs and demand for human capital, opening up new opportunities for employment, training, and social security for all social groups in Ukraine. This is a necessary condition for economic recovery and prosperity in Ukraine,' emphasized the Deputy Head of the EBRD in Ukraine Iryna Kravchenko.

The creation of the Charter of Human Capital Resilience involves work in sectors such as employment and reintegration of veterans, return and reintegration of displaced citizens, attracting talents from abroad, flexible management of human capital and employee well-being, supporting diversity and inclusivity in the workforce, and long-term resilience of the workforce.

The partners of the initiative launch are Astarta-Kyiv, Novus, Ukrnafta, and the Center for the Employment of Free People.
