jobbit innovative salary survey tool was introduced and launched

On September 7, the jobbit innovative salary survey tool was launched and presented to Armenian companies for the first time.
More than 60 employer representatives and authorized human resources management specialists from more than 40 companies operating in IT, banking, manufacturing and other sectors participated in the presentation and launch of the tool.

COVID and the response of the companies

Let me start with a question. How does the body generally react to danger? For example, when we are attacked by a bear in the forest, what will we do?
Psychologists know that there are three possible responses at the physiological level: freezing, fighting, and flying.

Job search: is it realistic under COVID conditions?

The outbreak of coronavirus has caused a big global panic, which has resulted in many people facing job uncertainty, fear of infection and, of course, isolation. No one is sure what will happen and how long this ignition will take, but one must understand that any situation has its positive sides, one of which is understanding self-aspirations and making long-term decisions.

Internal communication – a recipe for success. Part I

We constantly communicate. In different ways and with different people. Sometimes with pleasure, sometimes with reluctance. In different situations we are different and always want to be heard and understood. But let’s admit that every day we have this feeling of inadequacy that we could have said better, could have put more emphasis, or could have kept silent instead of quoting something. We constantly communicate. And we always want to do it more effectively. Particularly, when it comes to communicating within the organization and is the cornerstone of the professional activity.

Without effective management of human resources…

Without effective Human Resource Management, we cannot have development of businesses and, therefore, of the state, believes Arpi Karapetyan, president of the HR Association of Armenia. According to her, HR management is one of the dynamically developing fields in Armenia, where there is still a lot to be done to achieve success.

Change, gender and fashion: a woman’s view

For me, the most important thing is qualitative changes in the field of education and labor relations. Our labor legislation needs to be revised both in some fundamental and procedural matters.

We need a generational bridge

There are individuals, whose image almost strangely coincides with the values they profess. Arpi Karapetyan is a bright woman, a well-educated and dedicated researcher, who is also known to a very wide range of business people for her extraordinary ideas and their successful implementation. Her example is certainly indicative for those young people, who would like to make a career, but without using someone’s support and patronage. Her program is the evolutionary development of the country, and Arpi has seen for herself, by the example of her career, that it is necessary to develop and move forward through your own work, while helping others at the same time.

We have discrimination

Having worked with various organizations for the past 25 years, I can state that we have discrimination, starting from the hiring process, when only good-looking women are wanted for employment. Labor legislation should be reformed. The same applies to education.

If You Do Not Regard Yourself In A Discriminative Way, No One Will…

Arpi Karapetyan, founder and chairman of Armenian HR Association, founder and managing partner of Cascade People & Business, initiator of Regional HR Conferences, told Regional Post about the current state and the challenges the labor market faces in Armenia.
