New opportunities in Nordic Area

Hello, dear Network! In so intensive workload there was absolutely no space to share my gratitude to our national hockey team. We are Czechia 🇨🇿 and we are world champions, first time since 2010! This sport for all of us is much more than just sport - according to the statistics there were about 3.74 mil watches of the final match (our population is about 10,5 mil, keep in mind, almost nobody watched alone, but with family, friends, at big screens around the whole country). In total we broke the world record - there were over 797 000 fans watched the game at our amazing arenas in Prague and Ostrava. So, we can proudly say the whole country was a huge part of this golden medal🥇 During these 2 spectacular weeks everybody in our country skipped politics, social opinions and any kind of controversial debates - we were one common organism, called national team and supported our boys all together! What a really interesting point, there were a lot of haters of our head coach, mr. Radim Rulík, and his nomination for this tournament. He decided not to take into final squad great forwards from NHL, as Tomáš Nosek or Jakub Vrána. He did not take also the best defender of Czech league in 2024 - Jiří Ticháček. Before the tournament nobody believed we can bring this gold, but our team and our fans showed to the whole world - this year we are simply the best! The same thing we can apply to our recruitment and work life. You don’t need to be 100% match and top performer for the potential job opportunity you apply for - there are so many other important things, which are valuable - your team spirit, hard work and continuous improvement! All these points could be the main key of your success😉 In case you are interested in open roles within Carrier Czechia (Prague or Beroun) do not hesitate to apply through our official web, we are hiring to our IT, Financial teams, HR, Engineering, Logistics and many others 👍 #carrier #openroles #jobopportunities #recruitment #newroles #czechia #prague #beroun https://lnkd.in/eXrsxbfw

Many employees will be looking forward to sporting fixtures taking place this summer, such as UEFA Euro 2024 and the Olympic Games. But what are the pitfalls for employers and how can these be avoided? • UEFA Euro 2024 kicks off on Friday 14 June and runs until the final on Sunday 14 July in Berlin. Whilst the Olympic Games take place from 26 July to 11 August in Paris (handball, football and rugby take place from 24 July). • Making arrangements in advance for managing sporting events in the workplace can help to keep staff motivated, maintain productivity and avoid unauthorised absences or lateness. • Organisations may want to consider allowing employees to watch the action during break times or listen to commentary on the radio, where appropriate. • Implementing a Major Sporting Events Policy can be beneficial to set out the organisation’s approach to these situations, including holiday requests relating to the event, unauthorised absence, following the event at work and internet and mobile phone usage. • Employers may receive conflicting requests from employees working during these times for annual leave. Regardless of whether employees want time off to watch or attend sporting events, or for other reasons, such requests should be dealt with fairly and consistently. • Reminding employees before the event of expected standards of behaviour and the dangers of ‘banter’ should help to reduce the risk of instances of discrimination and ensure that the workplace atmosphere remains positive.

Game, set, profit! 🎾💰 Letting out your London property during major sporting events like Wimbledon, is an ace way to make money. Here are the benefits of cashing in on the action: 1️⃣ Prime Location: With Wimbledon being one of the most prestigious events in the sporting calendar, your London property becomes a hot commodity. Its proximity to the tournament ensures a high demand and the opportunity to maximize rental income. 2️⃣ Premium Pricing: Sporting events like Wimbledon attract a global audience, including avid fans and high-profile attendees. This means you can charge premium rates for your property, taking advantage of the influx of visitors willing to pay top dollar for a comfortable and convenient stay. 3️⃣ Short-Term Rentals: Renting out your property during major sporting events allows you to tap into the lucrative short-term rental market. With many visitors preferring the comfort and privacy of a home rather than a hotel, you can enjoy a steady stream of bookings and generate significant income over a short period. 4️⃣ Flexibility: By letting out your property during major sporting events, you have the flexibility to choose when to make it available for rent. This means you can still enjoy my property when it's not in high demand and capitalize on the profitable periods.

We were discussing the Ryder Cup picks in the office and it got me thinking about the power of teams. Traditionally, the European Team harnesses the power of teamwork, often producing a better result than their individually higher ranked counterparts. Whether that proves to be the case at Marco Simone in a couple of weeks remains to be seen, but I will go out on a limb and say that the team that finds that difficult to define synergy will be the one that comes out on top. So what is it that boosts performance simply by combining efforts? And from a business perspective, how can you spot it and use it? Our whole approach at Orbis is about joining the dots between golfers, coaches, clubs and operators. Understanding how impacting the performance of one can have a positive effect on another. The best example we have of this is in our Active Customer Management model where we’ve found that 98% of members renewed their club membership if they played 9 holes with the club Pro. In addition to increasing member renewals, it has a direct effect on the number of lessons that Pro gives, revenue all through the club and it improves the experience of every member. We arrived at this model by collating our experiences as golf pros and by studying the data we collect. But while there are a lot of factors at play, the most important part of our approach is to take a view of the whole system, rather than individual components. To find the connections and that amplify individual efforts and the synergies between different parts of a golf business. In high functioning teams, that mentality is vital for success. You can produce amazing results as a team, far beyond the power of individuals in a culture where everyone: ✔ Sees the big picture ✔ Values the success of the whole team ✔ Understands and buys in to shared goals ✔ Can link their actions to the success of the team We can provide structure, plans, models and technology, which will all produce great results. But when a genuine team comes together to deliver them, that’s when the real magic happens. I’m hoping that Europe has that edge in Italy, but either way I can’t wait to see how things play out. #teameurope #teamwork #synergy

Once upon a time, I was assigned by the Head of NIPA to open Talent Management Training at Technical and Social-Cultural Training Center. While my functional responsibilities do not typically involve the management of civil servants, including talent management, I hold a profound interest in this field. In the public sector, it is acknowledged that talent management is still a relatively new concept. However, we can learn from the private sector and non-profit organizations, even hobby-based organizations such as football. Just mention Barcelona and AC Milan, two giant football clubs in the world. Barcelona becoming an elite club is not a coincidence. Nor is it something that comes suddenly. Barca (as Barcelona is known) has a cadre development known as the La Masia Academy. This dream began in 1979 when Barcelona formed La Masia, a football academy to educate the younger generation to become world-class football players. Remarkable talents emerged from this academy, including Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez, Andres Iniesta, Charles Puyol, Cesc Fabregas, Gerard Pique, and others. Messi himself joined La Masia at the tender age of 14 in 2001. These players formed the "dream team" that propelled Barcelona to secure the Champions Cup three times and clinch the Spanish League title nine times (both since 2008). Meanwhile, AC Milan recently fired its technical director, Paolo Maldini. The dismissal was triggered by differences in vision and mission between Maldini and the club owner, Gerry Cardinale, in terms of strategy for the 2023-2024 season. Maldini wants extra funds in the 2023 summer transfer market, so that AC Milan can be more competitive. On the other hand, Cardinale sees that AC Milan must focus on developing young players plus bringing in valuable new players with lower wages. This was based on his disappointment with Charle De Ketelaere, who was recruited at a fairly high cost but with minimal contribution (Source: bolasport.com). Several valuable lessons can be drawn from the talent management approaches of these two clubs. Firstly, every organization fundamentally serves as the optimal nursery or talent development center for itself. A thriving organization is one that does not overly rely on external talent. Second, the success of building superior talent management will have a major efficiency impact on an organization. Like Barcelona in the era of Messi et al, they don't need to spend large amounts of money to recruit talent from other clubs. #talentmanagement #humanresources #leadershipinsights

Following the announcement today that UK and Ireland will host the 2028 UEFA Football Championship, our CEO Patricia Yates said: “It is fantastic that the UK and Ireland have been announced as hosts of the 2028 UEFA European Football Championship. Watching live football is already the number one sporting draw for visitors to the UK and alongside experiencing the excitement and atmosphere of a match, we know football-loving tourists also enjoy our associated visitor attractions and destinations. “With matches set to be hosted at stadiums across the UK from Cardiff to Glasgow, Liverpool to Belfast, Newcastle to Birmingham and more, we’ll also have valuable opportunities to drive tourism across the nations and regions, encouraging football watching visitors to discover more and travel further, boosting local economies.” https://lnkd.in/e-N-JFSM Our latest research into football tourism shows the importance of football in boosting tourism to Britain: -In 2019, overseas visitors who went to a football match spent £1.4 billion across the UK during their trips. This was up 84% on the £742 million spent in 2011 when the research was last conducted. -In 2019, 1.5 million visits to the UK included watching a live football match, up 66% compared to 2011 when there were 909,000 visits. -Visitors who attended a football match also spent more and stayed longer, spending £909 per visit on average, 31% more than the global visitor average of £696 in 2019, and staying 10 nights compared to the inbound average of seven. -It is not just leisure visitors that enjoy football matches. Out of the 1.5 million who went to a football match during their stay, 94,000 were international business visitors. https://lnkd.in/emiEEwsF #euros28 #uefa #footballtourism #internationalvisitors #inboundtourism #football #sports #internationatravel #footballchampionship
