Training as a Daily Habit: How It Helps a Company Grow and Adapt?

What role do you assign to competency development in a company’s long-term strategy?

Without educating and training people, there is no company development. Therefore, it is not just a strategy but an integral part of daily business. Acknowledging this, we integrate training into everyday activities—not as isolated events, but as a continuous process. We strive to ensure that every day brings something new to learn. We achieve this by both creating and mastering new knowledge. In this way, we constantly expand our knowledge base and improve ourselves.

Can you give examples where investment in employee competencies has brought tangible benefits to the company?

Acquiring new knowledge makes us more productive. When facing a challenge or a complex situation, we are more open to trying new approaches and technologies to see if they can solve older, long-standing problems. The beneficiaries of this approach are clients, the company itself, and ultimately the employees, who sometimes need to invest significant energy to resolve complicated tasks. With new knowledge, technologies, and tools, problems that once seemed unsolvable can often be addressed. This, of course, creates a positive atmosphere in the daily routine, where employees encounter various challenges. In such cases, new technologies and artificial intelligence can provide both more meaningful time and practical assistance in solving everyday routine tasks.
