We are pleased to announce that Piątnica was voted the strongest dairy brand, taking the 5th place in the “Best Polish Brand” category in the Best Brands 2024 ranking. It is worth noting that our brand was the only dairy brand in the top ten of the strongest Polish brands.   Best Brands is an independent, international ranking that highlights brands not only for their commercial success but also for evoking positive emotions, being memorable to consumers, offering innovative solutions and positive experiences. The Best Brands plebiscite is unique in that the winning brands are chosen exclusively by consumers. This year's survey, conducted by GfK - an NIQ Company, covered 40 product categories and included approximately 400 brands, with 8,000 respondents voting for their favourite brands. The ranking identified brands with the greatest attractiveness, strongest consumer relationships and highest commercial success in Poland.

Yesterday we as ABSL Czech Republic were part of Czech Investment Forum 2024 organized by CzechInvest and it's new CEO Jan Michal with a lot of inspiring guests, presentations and panel discussions and with presence of several ministers, investor companies and universities. Key takeaways for me: -> Foreign investments (FDI as % of GDP) to Czechia have been growing in the last years and well surpassed investments into neighboring countries - Poland, Hungary and Slovakia -> Czechia has the best credit rating from the CEE region AA- being a stable country to invest in -> CzechInvest created a new portal to attract even more foreign workforce to Czechia www.workinczechia.eu -> it's important to maintain strong ecosystems between investors, state agencies, universities and local SME's to continue the growth in coming years Many thanks Jan Michal Tereza Huczalová Gabriela Bauerova for invitation and well organized event 👏 #czechedge #česko #workinczechia #absl

Quotas: Are they a threat or an opportunity for organizations? This was the question raised during yesterday’s discussion on women leadership at the inspiring CEE Impact'24. Diverse teams are crucial, but it's also crucial how we build them - right recruitment process in place to ensure the right people are in the right place, regardless of gender. As leaders, it’s our responsibility to fight against stereotypes and be role models. Thank you to my partners - Dorota Strojkowska from Santander Bank Polska, Alicja Hadryś from The Poznań University of Economics and Business, Jolanta Bańczerowska from Żabka Group, and Magdalena Szuber-Zasacka from Polish Embassy in Berlin for an excellent and engaging conversation on this topic. Let's continue to prioritize diversity and inclusion in leadership development. #womenleadership #diversityandinclusion #leadershipdevelopment #ImpactCEE

  Impact CEE is behind us.     I had the pleasure of participating in the panel "New Economic Era: From Globalization to Deglobalization".    Events such as the pandemic or the war in Ukraine have spurred us at IKEA to build supply chains in a safer, more diversified way.    Poland remains extremely important for IKEA. Every fifth IKEA piece sold in the world is produced in Poland. IKEA has 16 factories in 8 locations. Together with our business partners, across the entire value chain in Poland, we have created nearly 100,000 jobs.    The new economic era is largely defined by the climate crisis 🌍 . At IKEA, we have set ourselves ambitious goals – 50% reduction of the emissions in the entire value chain by 2030 and 90% by 2050 (comparing to FY16). The changes that need to take place will affect the entire value chain. Investments in renewable energy, which IKEA implements globally, including in Poland, are also of a key importance. Already in 2021, IKEA produced more energy from renewable sources in Poland than we used in all of our operations in stores, warehouses, factories and distribution centers.    I would like to thank the host Boguslaw Chrabota from Rzeczpospolita and co-panelists Jagoda Zakrzewska, Google, Robert Dobrzycki, Panattoni, Andrzej Leder, PAN for a good conversation!    #impactCEE #IKEA

My Dear LinkedIn Network, This might be a longer one, so to the point - at the end of April, I’ve decided to step down as CMO of Rohlik.cz after more than three years, with my last day being June 30. Anyone familiar with Rohlik.cz knows that over three years here feels like a lifetime, packed with experiences that could fill a book 😀 Rohlik is a not easy. When making the decisision to join, the odds of surviving even a year were slim. Let me share my brief story and some learnings, hope some might find it useful, and thank some people along the way. Part I – A big thanks to Petr Pavlik and Jakub Petřina for bringing me in. Learning by doing during full COVID, with a broken team, we made it through. CMO at Rohlik typically lasts six months, and I was on the edge too couple of times...😁 Part II – After six months, Olin Novák became the new CEO. Initially skeptical, I remember Olin saying, "You are actually good, let's do great things together!" 😎 We stabilized the business post-COVID, learned from each other, and achieved big things quickly. Thanks for everything, Oline! Part III – Martin Behan then led Czech Rohlik. Together for 18 months, we laid true foundations, rocketing customer base, orders, and profitability to levels that seemed impossible a year ago. Thanks, Martine, for your patience and belief in gradual improvements leading to a snowball effect, we have things to be proud of! In April, we finished the last financial year, beating customer, order, and frequency targets, and achieving strong double-digit growth. So, why leave now? It's about recognizing the right time. I'm tired and need more time for family and myself. Thanks to my team - Jste hvězdy ⭐ and peers, I’m ending on a high note, higher than I could’ve imagined three years ago. However, my energy to contribute is not what it once was. So, this is the right time. What have I learnt from my experience at Rohlik.cz? 1. Customer obsession can crush the market and competition. Trust the process and believe in it. Customer focus at Rohlik is unparalleled. 2. Team energy, passion, and belief in the purpose can work miracles, overcoming tough times and making you stronger. 3. Businesses work within frameworks. Stay calm, apply common sense, and understand the root causes to achieve almost anything. 4. Battles don't win wars. Stay focused on your purpose and don’t get too emotional when things don’t go your way. 5. If you push people to their limits and recognize their success, they will want to do even more for you. 6. An old Czech saying: Nothing is as hot as it seems 😉 Rohlik is emotional for me, so I’ve taken some time to reflect on this journey since the decision. What’s next? I’ll take the summer off to reset and think about my next chapter. Hopefully, I’ll know soon. All the best and Rohlik.cz forever! And thanks Tomáš Čupr for bearing with me :-) and giving me a chance.

I've been a loyal Rohlik.cz customer for eight years now, and I'm constantly telling my friends why they should jump on board. So, what makes Rohlík so dear to me? Back in 2016, when I was pregnant and couldn't lift heavy bags, the grocery stores near me had dismal produce sections. Trudging home empty-handed in the cold rain felt pretty dramatic at the time, but hey, pregnancy hormones! That's when we decided to try Rohlík. And it was amazing. Juicy peppers, ripe tomatoes, gorgeous grapes – the quality was night and day. If something wasn't up to par, a quick photo to customer support and we got a refund. Plus, that personal Christmas card from Tomáš Čupr was a nice touch. Later, a bug in the app wouldn't let me add items to my cart. Tech support didn't reply, so I remembered Čupr's card and emailed him directly. He responded immediately and the bug was fixed in no time! When our son was born, Rohlík introduced Rohlíček for parents – free deliveries, cashback, and even free tickets to a family fun park. Then came COVID, with empty shelves everywhere. Rohlík gave loyal customers like us free premium membership with dedicated delivery slots. It was so great that we've been loyal premium members ever since. Recently, when a new app update messed up the favorites tab, customer support wasn't much help. Frustrated, I searched for a higher-level contact at Rohlík. Since Čupr wasn't CEO anymore, I wasn't sure who to reach out to. I decided to email him anyway. And guess what? He replied almost instantly, ensuring that tech support contacted me to explain the situation and a timeline for a solution. "1% better every day" philosophy is evident in their constant improvement. Refunds are long time automatic, everyday issues are resolved quickly, and complex problems are thoroughly addressed. And their drivers? Absolute heroes! One time, I was running late and missed my delivery window. As luck would have it, I spotted the Rohlik van down the street, making a delivery. I flagged down the driver, explained my situation, and asked if he was going to my address next. He was! He not only delivered my groceries, but he also gave me a ride home since I was running late. Talk about going above and beyond! Rohlik Group commitment to exceptional service, from top to bottom, resonates with me on a personal level. It's like looking in the mirror – throughout my career, I've always strived to go above and beyond for customers. That's why UX/UI design felt like the perfect fit for me. I'm eager to create digital experiences that not only function seamlessly but leave a lasting positive impression, just like the ones I've had with Rohlík.

Attitudes of #Ukrainian #consumers towards #brands: #Millennials are the main brand loyalists, while #Zoomers are spontaneous and open to new brands Millennials (25-44 years old) are more convinced that brands matter - two-thirds of respondents in this age group declare this position, which means that it impacts their consumer preferences. Meanwhile, Zoomers generation is distinguished by its openness to experiments: almost half (46%) of respondents aged 18-24 have changed their buying behavior since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and are choosing new brands over well-known ones. At the same time, Zoomers are the most spontaneous and the least patriotic in choosing goods or services. While most Millennials (25-44 years old) and Gen X (45+ years old) tend to plan their purchases carefully, 38% of Generation Z respondents make a purchase decision at the time of purchase.

"So we are happy" is the conclusion of this video made in collaboration with one of the largest producers of snack pellets in Poland.   4 simple words that positively qualify a 20-year partnership.   A sentence that may seem too simple, but which, in its spontaneity, is extremely effective in achieving the very goal of the project.   If we delve into the meaning of each word, we can find much more...   SO: it sums up the whole story, the experience of 20 years of technological evolution, innovative products and new markets; it is the full stop that looks back on the past with satisfaction and forward to the future with optimism...   WE ARE: ... a future that sees Jednosc as a company strongly built around the people who have grown within it over time, and certainly strong from having a partner like GEA Pasta, Extrusion and Milling Technologies at its side.   HAPPY: the kind of happiness that makes you pause for a moment to look back at the past, aware of the good work that has been done, the pat on the back that makes you start again full of energy and new projects.   All this in one sentence, all this you can read and see here: https://lnkd.in/dXqCrNZx #gea #engineeringforabetterworld #customerstory
