How do you build companies where the best people want to work? How is the role of a leader changing in times of uncertainty?
These were the very questions at the heart of the HR Wisdom Summit 2026, which today brought together Ukrainian business leaders, HR leaders, and experts for a conversation about the future of organizations.
EFI Group founder Igor Liski took part in the panel discussion “Labor Market and Workforce Strategies — A Time for Active Adaptation,” sharing his vision of how to build a business that grows through a strong team, trust, and an entrepreneurial culture.
Panel experts:
The discussion was moderated by Tetiana Smirnova, CEO of Ekonomika+.
The experts discussed the current state of Ukraine’s labor market, how demographics have shifted, and how these changes are affecting the availability of skilled specialists. Particular attention was paid to how the shortage of workers is pushing businesses to rethink their workforce policies and shift their priorities around the gender, age, and experience of future employees.
At EFI Group, we believe long-term success starts with people. That’s why we invest not only in strategic projects, but also in developing leadership, corporate culture, and an environment where teams can bring ambitious ideas to life.
