Debbie Lynch, CHRO of Ansell, one of the biggest manufacturers of workwear in the world, is convinced that digital possibilities will change the ways we select successful candidates.
She is constantly seeking solutions to foster an environment that maximizes each employee’s potential and engagement, and create a unique workplace culture. According to Debbie, every company must have their own brand face and values – only then their employees will feel that this is the best place to grow their talent and potential.
Debbie will explain to the Lithuanian audience why businesses must be ethical, trustworthy and willing to change. She thinks that in the digital era everything needs to be transparent and easily verified - these are crucial conditions for a business seeking longlasting results. In order to reach this goal we should understand what kind of skills and competencies are indispensable for HR professionals.

One of the largest manufacturers of supplements in the world is led by the approach that the relationship between the employer and employee is much deeper than just delivering the service you are paid for. The best companies are the ones where strong mutual relationships and care for the personnel are fostered/cultivated.
One of the questions that Hilde R Sønnichsen is going to ask the conference participants is if we, as leaders in health industry, cannot guarantee the health and happiness of our employees, what our status is worth then?
According to HR Manager of Orkla Health, only healthy, active and happy both at home and at work employees can show their full potential and create the biggest value for the company. The best investment that any company can make is the investment into their own people.

Modern labour market faces a huge competition for employees. Employers are required to not only attract, but also retain the people in the company. The image of a company and employee satisfaction become vitally important criterion. In an age of social networks the information about company’s inner culture and climate spreads faster than ever before. No doubt it affects the process of new employee search as well.
Sean White will focus on these issues when giving the presentation at Master Class HR conference. According to him, employers shouldn’t have an illusion that they are doing a favour to employees by giving them jobs. Labour relations should start with positive attitude and in modern world it has to be mutual between two sides - employer and employee. That is why even such trivialities as offering a cup of coffee before the job interview become so important.
For the Lithuanian audience Sean will talk about the modern principles of employees selection and reveal the rules that Citco hold in terms of planning their career and keeping them here for a long time.

Digital age has opened the world and its inhabitants to each other practically eliminating almost all boundaries. However, together with unrestricted freedom of communication and other technological advantages some problems also appeared. One of them is data security.

During conference Martin will introduce audience to the most optimal methods that can protect from cyber-attacks. Also, he will tell about common safety mistakes and explain what could ensure company’s data security the most.

Reach the limit of being human and cross it. That is the life goal of biohacker Jaakko Halmetoja. According to Jaakko, biohacking is a way to reach optimal wellbeing and utilise your potential to the fullest, discovering layers within yourself that you have not even dreamed about.

During the conference Jaakko will explain the ways of using biohackering in human resources in order to release full potential of the employees.

Why do we still choose workplaces that drain us from all our energy between 9-to-5 leaving us with a paycheck, but zero energy left for the things that matter most, our health and our private life?

In today's increasingly demanding workplaces the balance seems to have shifted to far to the work part of the work-life balance.

Fortunately Macaw understands that the only thing that makes company successful are the hearts and minds (the Passion) of the employees. We have to face the fact that there are many challenges and demands that are put on our employees by our customers, by their own private challenges, their social environment or themselves (being the ambitious high achievers that they are). But we sure can help them learn how to cope with all the challenges they face and be the best version they can be in a work environment that adds energy instead of draining it.
