EPIC HR Workgroup meeting: hiring outside Europe
Online Event



EPIC established the HR Workgroup to tackle the challenges its members are facing in HR. Recruitment, talent acquisition and retention, hiring outside Europe, scaling photonics companies, etc. are amongst the topics of the Workgroup discussions. Members are sharing their knowledge, helping others and building solutions together during these meetings. Special courses by experts in different related fields are also organized within the scope of this initiative.

Events are restricted to members only and recommended for the HR job title / role at the companies.

During the last meeting we discussed that we need to hire more talents from outside, because European market is currently limited. Although, it includes multiple of challenges, starting from legal aspects, ending with cultural differences and integration. On 01 September we will talk about these challenges and how they were solved by our members. 3 speakers will share their experiences and audience will be active in discussions. During the 2nd part of the meeting we will speak about the future development of this Workgroup.
