HBOR (Croatian Bank for Reconstruction and Development) has received its thirteenth Employer Partner certificate for continuous advancement and implementation of best practices in human resource management.

To meet the requirements for obtaining the certificate again, HBOR underwent a detailed evaluation of its human resource management system, which assesses employee experience in seven key areas: attraction and recruitment, onboarding and employee development, engagement and employee satisfaction, transformation and development, retention and rewards, and offboarding and employee return. The HR system evaluation conducted by Employer Partner is the only one that simultaneously considers two perspectives – the employer’s perspective and the employee’s perspective.

Investment in Education

Through the training available to them, HBOR employees acquire valuable knowledge and skills that benefit them in their private and professional lives. HBOR employees have the opportunity to undergo training for setting SMART goals, developing communication skills, time management, and personal effectiveness management for professional development. HBOR also invests funds for employee scholarships and encourages them to enroll in postgraduate studies. Additionally, employees undergo training on sustainability and gender equality topics, and they have access to numerous materials from which they can learn how to live healthier and function better in their private environment.

Practices Tailored to Real Needs

At HBOR, they actively promote the possibility of making suggestions and expressing employee opinions. Open communication with managers at all levels also allows employees to present suggestions and comments at any time. In challenging business periods, such as those faced by many organizations during the coronavirus pandemic, HBOR adapted its operations to better respond to the real needs of employees. During that period, the possibility of remote work was introduced, and current flexible work arrangements include flexible working hours, flexible workplaces, part-time work, and temporary employment.

With the Employer Partner certificate, SELECTIO Group experts have been comparing domestic HR practices with global trends for over 18 years, thereby improving standards in human resource management and promoting practices that represent examples of excellence in HR.
