Hi, guys! In this post, I want to share with you a research that I did with my colleagues Weronika Mielczarek i Wiktoria Wujczak. The purpose of the research is the validation of a tool for measuring self-reported body shape among men. We created our own test as part of a study project that measures men's satisfaction with their bodies in the context of muscle and fat. We tested the validity of our hypotheses on a population of over 200 men aged 18 to 79. Only one hypothesis has been confirmed, which is that there is a correlation of men's body self-esteem in terms of body fat and mass of muscle and overall self-esteem. You can find the report on our research below (in PL)

Only through education can prosperity and thus social equality be promoted and social disruption minimized. Education also increases understanding of democratic processes.

Have you got any vacation plans for the 😎 summer? Summer is a popular time to take vacation. There's no shortage of office chatter about vacation plans (present, past, and future). It also happens to be a great time to practice your small talk in English. Why? Because the questions are always pretty much the same. So, enjoy the repetition (the before and the after). Questions??? Pre-Vacation 💠Where are you going? 💠When are you taking vacation? 💠What are your plans this summer? Post-Vacation 💠Where did you go? 💠What did you do? / What did you see? 💠How was it? / Did you enjoy it? --Let the office small talk begin!-- Here ⬇ are some phrases/expressions you can use to engage in the convo: 1. Plans ✈ : Where / What / When ? 🔸I'm planning to take vacation in August. 🔸We're taking our family summer vacation in July. 🔸I'll be out of the office next week on vacation. 🔸We're headed to / going to (place) to (verb + activity). 🔸We booked a trip to (place). We fly out (date) for (# of days). 2. Anticipating Plans 🎁 🔸I can't wait for my vacation! 🔸I'm so excited for our family vacation! 🔸I'm really looking forward to my summer vacation. 3. Out of office: Knock, knock 🚪 .... Where are you...? 🔸I'm on vacation this week.  🔸I'm out of the office this week.  🔸I'll get back to you once I'm back in the office. 4. The dreaded first day back at work.. Welcome back! 🔸How was it? 🔸Did you have a good vacation? 🔸Did you enjoy your time off? 🔸What did you end up doing? Hope this makes all that vacation talk a little easier. What other expressions would you add? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ciao! 👋 I'm Lisa.

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

FOREIGNERS CHANGE JOBS - why some of them feel ignored by recruiters?     Part of my clients who use career counselling are foreigners leaving and working in Poland.  Why they need professional support while looking for a new job?   Foreigners are quite a diverse group - mainly people under the age of 40, living in several largest Polish cities, employed in international corporations, shared services centres, IT and new technologies sector.  Most of them have been living here for several years and speak Polish quite well. They are educated and do quite well professionally.   However, there is one aspect worth noting - some foreigners who want to change jobs complain that they are in a more difficult situation in recruitment processes than Polish candidates. Mainly due to a different nationality and limited knowledge of the Polish language. Let's analyse the difficulties in job search process.  Firstly, I explain clients that the lack of response for applications and lack of feedback after a job interview is a quite common on the Polish labour market and there is no reason to take it personally.  Secondly, the market still needs various specialists with foreign languages, so in most cases the candidate's nationality does not matter.   Polish language – is it necessary for employment in a specific position? In most cases – no. The corporations provide services to global customers in English or other languages, Polish is used only in private communication. Moreover, most of my clients are constantly improving their Polish and speaking it really good.  So Polish language is not the problem.   After detailed analysis of the client's career path and CV, it comes out that his/her problem is "universal" i.e. lack of professional priorities, career planning in middle- and long-term perspective, selection of specific positions and job levels to apply, CV that does not provide recruiters with clear information about the candidate's key competencies and expectations. “Wow, it's good that you pointed out these mistakes and weaknesses of my job search strategy. There is no reason to make excuses and look for alleged discrimination, just act consistently" - they say.   Do you need support in planning your career path or changing job in Poland? Please contact an experienced career counsellor.     #careercounselling #careercoach #HR #management #career #change #work #employment #labourmarket #recruitment #Poland #foreigners

🧗‍♂️ Scaling New Heights: A Team-Building Journey 🧗‍♀️ Two weeks ago, our entire team embarked on a thrilling adventure - indoor climbing! I'll admit, I was extremely skeptical about this activity. Honestly, I didn’t feel like doing it at all. I had never done it before, and although I’m usually up for new challenges, that day I had 0 interest in trying it out. Is that a bad thing to say in a  ̶s̶o̶n̶g̶-̶- LinkedIn post? However… I forced myself, after being pushed by my super sporty colleague Behnaz Siasi, who is, by the way, celebrating her 5th year at Reverse today🎈 . We ended up being the first ones to try it out and guess what? We loved it! It’s been amazing, and we turned out to be better than expected. So what has this taught me? 💡 Even if I thought I was a person that welcomes challenges with positivity, well, I sometimes struggle too. It’s okay to say it, but it’s really nice how life surprises you with some unexpected things. 💡 Moreover, this experience has made me think about our journey in opening new markets for Reverse. First Germany, then France, and lately Spain. Just like in Miley Cyrus's iconic song "The Climb," the path to conquering new markets is filled with challenges and uncertainties. But with every leap, every stretch, and every encouraging word exchanged between team members, we found ourselves inching closer to the summit. It reminded me that in business, as in climbing, success isn't just about reaching the top; it's about the resilience, teamwork, and determination it takes to get there. Ultimately, our focus wasn't solely on the end goal, but on the journey itself - having my three German team leaders reunited in this activity, sharing the fear, the excitement and the satisfaction at the end was priceless. Here's to embracing the climb, both on the walls and in the markets ahead! 💪🚀 #TeamBuilding #NewMarkets #TheClimb

What was the most ridiculous prejudice you faced from the recruiter in your last job interview? Recruitment and HR are full of prejudices and false beliefs, often founded on non-scientific foundations that cause harm. Recruiters created them decades ago. While the business environment has changed significantly, they are still passed down from generation to generation of recruiters, sometimes even taught in HR courses. To job-seekers, the harm can have economic and psychic forms, resulting in many health issues and loss of performance, motivation and loyalty. But to organizations, it represents enormous financial and reputational problems, often not easily recognizable firsthand. In some situations, a lack of expertise and uncompetitiveness accompany the issue. Would you help me to map these prejudices? I work on viable solutions to some of them. What is your experience: Katka Chvátalová, Jana Müllerová (Ptáčková), Pavlína Závodská, Kateřina Portová, Adrienn Benei, Zuzana Sieber, Agata Przespolewska, Ágnes György, Aleš Demjan

How big is your HR department? Pavel Durov, who rarely gives interviews, was recently asked. Does Telegramm have a Wellbeing, Football, Work Life Balance Team etc.?  Before we come to the answers that we got, some more numbers he mentioned. Apperently, close to one billion user are on his APP.  Their HQ was almost moved to Berlin, however he was told in order to hire world class programmers he needed to run an ad for six months finding out if there was any German residents that were interested…He couldnt just bring his own team. This challenge by now seems to be sorted, however for Telegramm to reside in Berlin it was too late. According to his interview he also didnt agree to open sources in the US which in the end meant moving their HQ to UAE… Coming back to the HR question - the answer was Zero. Apparently no HR team, not even a recruiter and no Wellbeing Team. Does anyone have the number of Telegramm so we can introduce some of our strong IT profiles directly?

🌟 Exploring the Dynamic Relationship: Agency & Recruitment Department Synergy 🌟 In today’s fast-paced business landscape, the quest for top talent stands as a cornerstone of organizational success. While many companies establish robust in-house recruitment departments, an intriguing trend emerges – the concurrent utilization of recruitment agencies. But why do companies, armed with internal HR prowess, still opt for external assistance? Let's delve into the manifold reasons: 👉 Confidential Projects: Maintaining discretion in recruitment is paramount. For confidential endeavors, collaboration with agencies ensures seamless execution while upholding data security and candidate trust. 👉 Specialization & Unique Tasks: Agencies bring niche expertise, crucial for sourcing specialized talent or fulfilling strategic roles, enhancing the company's reputation and efficacy. 👉 Expanded Network & Market Insights: With extensive networks and real-time market data, agencies offer invaluable insights, empowering companies to tailor strategies and tap into passive talent pools. 👉 Flexibility: Amid fluctuating workforce demands, agencies provide agile support, swiftly scaling recruitment efforts without the overhead of permanent hires. 👉 Time & Resource Efficiency: By streamlining the recruitment process, agencies alleviate the burden on internal resources, allowing organizations to focus on strategic initiatives. 👉 Innovative Tools & Technologies: Access to cutting-edge recruitment tools enhances efficiency, enabling swift candidate screening and superior talent acquisition. 👉 Diversity of Perspectives: Leveraging consultants with diverse backgrounds fosters innovative thinking, enriching the recruitment process and aligning candidates with organizational goals. In essence, the choice between internal recruitment and agency collaboration hinges on organizational needs and objectives. While internal departments provide control, agencies offer agility and expertise, augmenting the talent acquisition journey. By embracing both avenues, companies can craft a holistic recruitment strategy, maximizing their access to top-tier talent in the ever-evolving job market. My Colleague Agata Kostrubiec focuses on this issue on our blog. 🚀 #RecruitmentStrategy #TalentAcquisition #SynergyInAction

Business has never been sentimental. The closing of branches of foreign companies in Poland is the result of many factors. A high minimum wage combined with energy costs is just one of the important elements. The fact that Poland has become a frontline state also matters. Negative for some, positive for others. It is also worth bearing in mind that companies that have been in Poland for years are moving out. In the case of these companies, the invested capital was paid back with interest, and a decline in profits could threaten the profitability of the investment. Social protests and supply chain blockades are also significant. In the context of the latter, from the investors' perspective, Poland appears to be a weak country, susceptible to populist warlords and easily descending into chaos. This situation should slowly change for the better. I think that the new authorities in our country will understand that protests by "disappointed" and "lost" groups should not destabilize the country's economy. The inflow of funds from KPO (EU) should stimulate the economy and, consequently, internal demand. Unfortunately, the minimum wage cannot be reduced, which is a pity. The challenge for Poland is undoubtedly the energy transformation and let's hope that the blocking of the development of renewable energy that we have been dealing with over the last 8 years will finally come to an end. Locating defense industry plants in our country may also be an opportunity. You don't have to worry about dismissed employees of Western companies. 95% of them will find a job very quickly, and severance pay will help them through the transition period. A very interesting issue will be the issue of lifting vocational and technical education out of the collapse and learning foreign languages among the young generation. Today, especially in the group of young men from smaller towns, there are deficiencies in education, lack of language skills, poor opportunities on the local labor market, and little chance of building a relationship with better-educated women in this age group. Unfortunately, this group becomes an easy target for populists. #poland #economy https://lnkd.in/dWge-aBJ

“Do or do not, there is no try.” - a famous quote by Yoda (a Star Wars character) perfectly summarises the tale of Theranos, the story of a once visionary startup. My 2 cents about learning about culture, people and business, On a weekend, I watched a fascinating series about a visionary startup crippled by its unethical and aggressive culture on Disney+ Hotstar called “The Drop-Out”. It’s a true story of a young medical student who drops out of college to create a startup with a vision to change the medical industry, only to find that it’s not always the vision that drives results. I rarely enjoy sharing learnings on LinkedIn, but this one resonated so much that it would not hurt my views much. “What would you do if you knew you could not fail?” This is written on the organisation's walls, which shows utter disregard for the experimental culture. Experimentation and quickly learning from mistakes bring any startup's product closer to consumers, thus increasing its chance of success. Hiring the best talent and letting them lead: No amount of growth and pace can be successful without retaining and trusting your top talent. It seems that Theranos' leadership did very little to build trust and collaboration among the people who initially believed in the purpose/cause, which led to the business's downfall. Integrity and ethics are more than keywords on the wall: Whether your business is at 0-1 or 10-100, integrity and ethics are fundamental blocks of any business and culture, both internally and externally. Theranos built an ambitious product but failed to deliver the technology and, most importantly, needed to be more truthful to their employees, customers, and shareholders. Gaining fame and a brand is complex but easy to lose: Theranos’s CEO became the valley's youngest and most successful CEO with all the struggle and hard work, but maintaining the inspiring women-CEO tag is much more than just being a woman. CEOs and leaders must be transparent, trustworthy, and consistent with their stand. Success is not about gender! “We want to change the world” is a great vision statement, but delivering on that is extremely hard and requires an organisational and leadership culture that earns the brand and trust. The famous case of Theranos, captured in the web series based on the BBC’s podcast series, is close to reality. I would recommend it, especially to business leaders and HR professionals. #LIPostingChallengeIndia #Culture #StartUp #DropOut
