Steps Human Capital Leaders Are Taking to Help Ukraine Employees

March 11, 2022 | Report

Human capital leaders in Europe are moving in multiple ways to help employees who remain in Ukraine or have been displaced. Three considerations are top of mind: a second wave of employees now requesting help to leave Ukraine as the fighting intensifies; requests from employees in Russia who want to leave even as most companies are prioritizing employees in direct danger; and a growing reluctance to directly extract staff from some parts of Ukraine due to aerial bombardment and on-the-ground fighting.

This report summarizes the learnings and insights for what’s ahead from over 100 members of The Conference Board during extraordinary sessions with eight Europe-based Human Capital Councils over the past week, including EMEA heads of human resources, global rewards, talent strategies, and diversity, equity & inclusion. In a separate report, we detail the measures HR leaders are taking to help employees in Russia or Russian employees outside Russia.
