08.12.2023. interview with absl latvia about the role of employee training

From year to year, Global Business Services centers carefully update and improve their employee training plans, enhancing the skills of their workforce. Having knowledgeable and educated employees is a crucial factor for our industry's successful growth. Considering Latvia's population, it's important to understand that we need to use people's intellectual potential effectively. This means that a growing number of working-age Latvians need to be ready and even eager to keep learning new things and skills throughout their lives. The old days when getting a professional degree or a job meant you were set for years are gone. Nowadays, automation and robotics are changing and improving various industries. Moreover, the Global Business Services sector is actually in a leading position, setting a great example of how using technology can replace repetitive and monotonous tasks, allowing people to use their intellectual capacities for more value-added tasks. Let's continue to prioritize educating our employees and keep it one of the core priorities within our industry also in 2024. Here you will find an interview with ABSL Latvia Executive Director, Monta Ieleja -  Jaunumi no ABSL nodarbināto apmācību projekta, decembris 2023 - YouTube I Find the publication here.

Last week, ABSL Latvia representative Monta Ieleja visited MSC Shared Service Center Riga to express appreciation to all the active employees who generously contributed their time in the academic year of 2022/2023 as guest lecturers under the ABSL Latvia initiative, which aims to enhance awareness about our industry among students.

26.09.2023. ABSL STANDS FOR THE REVISION OF NON-TAXABLE AMOUNT FOR HEALTH INSURANCE

Global Business Service/IT Centers in Latvia have consistently set an example for rest of the market when it comes to providing a wide range of benefits to their employees. Health insurance has evolved from being a ‘good to have’ to an absolute ‘must-have.’ However, the impact of inflation has significantly driven up the costs of medical and health services, subsequently affecting the prices of health insurance policies.Given the substantial increase in health insurance costs, even business services industry is compelled to reconsider this specific benefit. At present, due to the substantial financial burden it places on organizations, health insurance is viewed more as a luxury than the norm it once was. For a comprehensive view, please read the full opinion article by ABSL Latvia’s Executive Director Monta Ieleja. We urge everyone to go beyond reading and join us in signing the initiative on manabalss.lv to raise the non-taxable amount for health insurance policies to €1000. Link here: http://bit.ly/46pvOE9 It’s important to understand that inaction in this regard could further strain our government healthcare system and prolong waiting lines for government-funded health services.

Looking forward to the next one! 

31.08.2023. absl latvia encourages to use open courses provided by sse riga

ABSL Latvia encourages businesses within the industry to use employee training opportunities with the help of ERAF program which subsidizes up to 70% of associated expenses. It's important to note that this support program remains accessible only until the end of this calendar year. Given that we are currently in the final months to leverage this support, ABSL Latvia has introduced a new approach for companies to strategize their workforce development initiatives. We encourage companies to explore the option of open courses facilitated by educational institutions. As such, there is no need to plan training for substantial employee groups. Instead, by adopting this particular approach, you can nominate one or only a few representatives from the organization to participate in these open courses. This format ensures that the audience for these courses is composed of individuals from various organizations and industries. In the video you will find an interview with Rihards Garančs from Rīgas Ekonomikas augstskola - Stockholm School of Economics in Riga giving more details about their dynamic education programme “Effective Manager Programme”.
