🚀 ZIRA Group i Leader Roots: Rebranding i snaga feedbacka! 🚀 Peta Masterclass sesija Leader Roots programa donijela je pravu temu o poslovnim transformacijama - Aleksandra Kuljanin i Mirza Selimovic podijelili su svoja iskustva o nedavnom rebrandingu kompanije. Rebranding je dugotrajan i izazovan proces, a Mirza i Aleksandra su nam otkrili kako su se uhvatili u koštac sa svim preprekama. Početak svakog procesa je najteži, ali uz dobru strategiju i timski rad, ništa nije nemoguće! Nakon njihove sesije, Nađa Firdus Kreso je održala radionicu o konstruktivnom feedbacku, te istakla važnost povratne informacije u poslovnom svijetu, posebno tokom promjena koje utiču na cijelu kompaniju. Ispostavilo se da je upravo konstruktivan feedback bio ključan za uspješan rebranding kompanije ZIRA Group! Ova sesija pokazala je koliko je važno hrabro koračati naprijed, učiti iz izazova i graditi snažan brend. Hvala Zira timu što ste podijelili svoju priču sa nama! #LeaderRoots #Zira #Rebranding #Feedback #Liderstvo #AmChamBiH

Komitet za pravna i regulatorna pitanja Američke trgovačke komore u BiH (AmCham BiH) održao je sastanak tokom kojeg je fokus bio na neophodnosti donošenja sveobuhvatne fiskalne reforme u FBiH. Na sastanku se razgovaralo o planu za naredni period, a na osnovu ranijih rasprava i prezentacija o potrebnim izmjenama pravnog okvira iz oblasti direktnih i indirektnih poreza. Prisutne članice su podržale napore Vlade FBiH u poboljšanju položaja radnika, ali su istakle i potrebu za hitnim smanjenjem troškova rada kako bi se povećala konkurentnost. Komitet je ponudio svoju ekspertizu i kapacitete u cilju aktivnog učešća u reformskom procesu. Članice su konkretizirale korake u uspostavljanju javno-privatnog dijaloga s ciljem harmonizacije legislative i jačanja poreske sigurnosti. #amchambih

Nedavno je lansirana platforma Nikogladan.ba, prva digitalna banka hrane koja direktno povezuje kompanije s javnim kuhinjama i humanitarnim organizacijama širom Bosne i Hercegovine. Platforma omogućava brzo doniranje hrane uz minimalnu logistiku i automatsko praćenje donacija, a kao dijelom ove inicijative omogućeno je da donacije hrane pred istek roka trajanja od sada uživaju poreske olakšice. Amcham BiH poziva svoje članice da, ukoliko su u mogućnosti, iskoriste ovu besplatnu platformu i registruju se na Nikogladan.ba kako bi pružili potrebnu pomoć najugroženijim građanima BiH. Vodič za registraciju je dostupan na https://lnkd.in/d9VQnagw Ova platforma je sjajan primjer lokalne inovacije koja donosi konkretne pozitivne promjene u društvu - čestitamo Mozaik Foundation, Filantropski forum BiH, Mreža mira i USAID BiH koji su vrijedno radili na ovoj inicijativi! #nikogladannikosam
