Spotlight on HR Tech in Ukraine
Like many of you, I am watching the developments in Ukraine unfold. Even though we saw things unravel, it was still a shock to wake up Thursday morning to a new reality, where the war had started and the country and most of its cities are under heavy military attacks.
Over the past months, I have been engaged with a company in Ukraine. I’ve met many of their talented people as we worked on a project. It’s unthinkable that they are now executing the contingency plans to relocate their people while many of them have been drafted to fight for their country. It makes me feel helpless at a time that we need to show solidarity. So what can we do?
Ukraine has a thriving, vital Technology Ecosystem, as well as a startup scene, and that includes a list of companies that create HR Technology solutions based in Ukraine – see below for details.
The current situation is full of uncertainties, and we don’t know where this is headed or how long it will last. But one thing seems certain: many of them won’t be able to return to their homes shortly. And that means they need our help. As do these companies. They will need everything: a location, places to let their people work, meet with clients, run their business, house employees. And in the longer term, support to repair and refurbish offices and homes. If you can offer logistical or financial assistance, now’s the time to let them know.
But above all, these companies will need paying clients, so that their employees can rebuild their lives. As all infrastructure runs in the cloud, these companies can survive as long as people buy their services. This is not the time to take a look at the list and start poaching people from affected companies to ease your staffing problems, unless they specifically ask for a job. I realize that businesses are not philanthropies, but sometimes you have to do the right thing.
I know the HR Community is a tight knit group of people. I hope we reach out and help others in times of great distress. I have added the contact details of the Ukrainian HR Tech companies below. I am sure that they would appreciate your note of support. Let them know you think about them, and offer your help.
And if I missed your company in the list – let me know.
