Trend: Amrop Jenewein is a professional partner of the Human Resources series

The issues of the first half of the year brought even more uncertainty to the business and radically affected the functioning of companies and people. Many organizations have started saving to survive. However, it is crucial that, by including austerity, they do not reduce the options of development and of using the crisis as an opportunity. The weekly magazine Trend has once again included the Human Resources series in its publishing plan to contribute with some inspiration for bringing the best solutions. In five sequels, the editors focused on handling the challenges posed by the pandemic, especially on what managers and leaders have to do, what qualities and skills they need to succeed, and how to strengthen the management of people and processes with new elements? Amrop Jenewein became a professional partner of the series, with Martin Krekáč and Igor Šulík assisting in processing the two of five main topics with their experience and recommendations.

Slovak premiere of the film MEKY in Bratislava's Stará tržnica

On the evening of Monday, July 13, 2020, the Slovak ceremonial premiere of the music documentary MEKY about the singer Miroslav Žbirka took place in Bratislava's Stará tržnica. As one of the film critics wrote on this occasion, "director Šimon Šafránek managed to put together a dynamic portrait of a man who significantly exceeded on the Czechoslovak music scene due to talent, his intelligence, but also family roots and admiration for British culture". Many faces from the music and show-business world did not miss the premiere of CZSK novelty in the presence of the main "actor" and the team of creators. Invited by Jenewein Group, several guests from the business world also attended the premiere. The wide distribution of the film MEKY in Slovak cinemas started on July 16.

Czech premiere of the film MEKY as part of the parade Tady Vary

As the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival could not happen this year due to the extraordinary situation, the organizing team decided to pass on at least part of the festival to its audience. And so, a complex film block was created, which was screened in almost a hundred Czech cinemas in nearly 80 cities for nine days (July 3-11, 2020) as part of the Tady Vary parade. The audience had the opportunity to see not only great films but also to experience a bit of the traditional festival atmosphere. The exclusive selection of 16 movies also included the musical documentary MEKY – its Czech premiere took place on July 8, 2020, at the Světozor cinema in Prague, while, on the same day, the meeting with its creators was broadcasting to another 95 cinemas throughout the Czech Republic. We represented Jenewein Group by CZSK assembly, and with our guests, we enjoyed the first great successes – the record-breaking attendance (during opening five days in Czech cinemas, more than 10,000 people have seen the film Meky) and winning the Mall.TV Audience Award as the most popular film of the parade Tady Vary.

Jenewein Group at the pre-premiere of music documentary Meky

The music documentary Meky, of which Jenewein Group is the general partner, was originally to have its premiere at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. However, due to the new coronavirus pandemic, the festival was postponed to next year, so Miroslav Žbirka and his wife Kateřina decided to organize a pre-premiere screening directly in their garden. The private garden party took place on June 25, 2020, in Prague. Besides the Czech lion-awarded director of the film Meky Šimon Šafránek and the president of the Karlovy Vary festival Jiří Bartoška, Kryštof Mucha, the management of Bontonfilm, of Czech Television, and of the music label publisher Universal also attended the premiere. Among the invited, of course, was Martin Krekáč, the founding partner and chairman of Jenewein Group, with his family.

Forbes: The PRF association introduces the Family Business topic in its June release

Many family companies are going through a difficult period during which they have to deal not only with everyday responsibilities and often unexpected challenges but also with the future. This year's ranking of the largest family companies, which is regularly compiled by the monthly magazine Forbes Slovensko, includes this fact too. Because of the pandemic, the solemn result announcement has been postponed to the autumn, but the June release of the magazine remained devoted to the family business. We are all the more pleased that the Partners of Family-Owned Companies (Partneri Rodinných Firiem – PRF) association has become a partner of this topic. The Family Business section, which presents inspiring stories of family companies or an overview of the problems they are currently facing, opens with an interview with Michal Kukula from nebotra consulting and Rastislav Mackanič from Amrop in Slovakia. The two founding members of the association agree that many family companies do not have a well-thought-out plan and react spontaneously to a sudden crisis. Read an unshortened version of the interview here.

We supported three diploma theses with our topics and experiences

By including the position of Happiness Manager in its organizational structure, Jenewein Group is one of the pioneers in the implementation of happiness management in the Czech and Slovak environment. This topic has spread not only into the real life of companies and its employees but also into the program of several conferences, workshops, or discussion meetings. In school year 2019/2020, we have assisted in developing knowledge of this area in academia as well, as happiness management has become the topic of two final theses. Michaela Klocaňová, a student of the University of Žilina in Žilina (Economics and Management study department), devoted herself to it in her diploma thesis Happiness Management in the conditions of Slovak Republic. Diana Železná, a student of Matej Bel University in Banská Bystrica (Economics and Management study department), devoted herself to it in her bachelor's thesis Happiness Manager as an innovative approach of companies to ensure employee job satisfaction. We also provided professional support to Zuzana Síbertová, a student of Collegium Humanum – Szkola Glówna Menedžerska in Warsaw (Human Resources Management study department). In her diploma thesis Principles of Age Management in the Corporate Environment, she focused on the current understanding of human resources management concerning the age and ability of the workers. We supported all three students not only with theoretical background but also with several contacts, verified sources, and the opportunity to gain real experience verified in our daily practice through personal meetings and questionnaires.
