#HRko 2022: How the Highest Levels

of Management Views Corporate

Culture, Engagement and HR?

400 people, heads of HR and companies from all over the Czech Republic and Slovakia, will arrive

in Ostrava on 13th October for the 5th edition of the renowned event called ’HRko 2022‘. This

year, the HR Party & Festival of HR Solutions will take place in the brand new premises of Poklad

Culture Centre in Ostrava-Poruba. This change has allowed the programme to be extended.

The varied line-up can now fit into six stages, while last year‘s event was held on two stages.

For the first time ever, representatives

from the top management of traditional

Czech and multinational companies will

appear on stage. For example, Tomáš

Vala from SIKO, Jan Fišer from Nestlé

Czech Republic - Zora Olomouc plant,

Jana Vychroňová from Vodafone, Martin

Svoboda from Astratex, Tomáš Ervín

Dombrovský from LMC and Martin Cígler

as the head of Solitea Group, will present

their projects in the field of people

management and HR. The audience will

gain a completely new perspective of the

industry in which they operate in.

How the highest levels of management

view the area of people development in

companies and what demands they have

on HR is one of the big topics of this year’s

conference.

Tomáš Vala joined the family business SIKO

at the age of 17. He has dedicated most of

his life to the company and is famous for his

extraordinary approach to colleagues and

unconventional methods of engagement.

Jan Fišer from Nestlé Czech Republic

gained his work experience around the

world in the performance acceleration

team and is one of the key leaders within

Central Europe. He focuses on employee

education, optimisation and automation

of production lines, while emphasizing

quality, hygiene and safety.

Part-time jobs for (almost) all positions?

Still a new concept in the Czech workforce

environment. This is exactly what Jana

Vychroňová focuses on. In Ostrava, she

will present how this concept has been

applied at Vodafone. After more than a

year of project implementation, concrete

data and experience will already be

available, so you have something to look

forward to.

Martin Svoboda from Astratex will share

an interesting story about the arrival of

new management to a local company,

the move of the company to Prague

and the change of company culture and

management.

The expert on the main phenomena

and trends in the interconnected worlds

of education and work is Tomáš Ervín

Dombrovský, who has been working at

LMC for eleven years. He will be speaking

at the start of HRK to give a clear view of

the trends for 2022/2023.

Martin Cígler is co-owner of the Solitea

Group with a turnover of CZK 2.5 billion,

which includes leading players in the

Czech and foreign markets in the field of

ERP and economic systems.

How to unite teams and corporate cultures of

diverse companies across Europe? This is the

task of Martin Cígler, who will bring a case

study on this very topic to HRko 2022.

And who will take over for Roman Vojtek

as the host? None other than Pavel Cejnar

from Evropa 2, who will also take care

of the entertainment at the opening

ceremony and party. This year’s HRko

looks like it’s going to be quite a ride.
