Lviv HR Committee

07/ 11/ 2025

On October 29, a meeting of the HR Management Committee of the Western Ukrainian Office of the European Business Association took place on the topic “Working with Veterans and Their Family Members in the Workplace.” 🔹 The event brought together HR professionals, executives, and business representatives who seek to understand how to create a working environment in which veterans and their family members feel respect, support, and opportunities for development. Returning from war is not merely a change of role, but a deep process of adaptation that requires new approaches to communication, empathy, and management. 🔹 The expert of the meeting, Andrii Kaspshyshak, Head of the Office for Veterans and Their Families at the Ukrainian Catholic University, helped participants view the topic more broadly as a shared responsibility of society and business. The discussion focused on: – psychological and social aspects of veterans’ return to teams; – building trust based and sensitive communication; – developing corporate support policies that work in practice; – the role of leadership in the adaptation process and the personal mental resilience of managers. 🔹 The meeting was moderated by Nadiia Shaban, Head of the EBA HR Management Committee and HR Director at LEONI Wiring Systems UA GmbH, who created a space for professional dialogue where everyone could share experience and find answers to complex questions. 🌿 Participants emphasized that support for veterans is not a one time initiative, but part of a long term culture of mutual respect and humanity that businesses must cultivate systematically. 🤝 We thank the VYBIR space for defenders and defenders’ families for the partnership and hospitality, as well as all participants for their sincere dialogue and genuine care. ✨ The HR Management Committee is a community of leaders who believe that through conscious HR practice it is possible to transform not only companies, but also the environment around them. And it is precisely from conversations like these that major transformations begin.
