💪 The results of the "Life Quality Barometer" survey, conducted by the European Business Association in partnership with KERNEL and Gradus Research, show that Ukrainians demonstrate incredible resilience and faith in the future of their country. Key findings:  🏠 9 out of 10 Ukrainians remain in their permanent place of residence, despite the challenges of the war. ↩️ Among those who left, the majority plan to return, and the number of those considering permanent emigration has halved in a year.  🛡️ The main factors that will contribute to the return are security and economic stability. Businesses are also holding strong:  💼 Most employees of the ЕВА's member companies have retained their jobs, even while working remotely from abroad.  🙌 Companies are actively supporting their employees by providing flexible working conditions and opportunities for professional development. 📊 For more details on the survey results: https://lnkd.in/dkFTTKdG
