Panel 1 | 2023 at a Glance: workforce market, taxation, challenges, opportunities and trends

• The effects of the abortion of taxation facilities in some important segments of the labor market for the real economy. Is the market ready to face increases in labor taxes? Do we already see significant changes in the IT and Construction labor markets?
• The changes in the regulations for the SMM – the obligation of having at least an employee in order to benefit from lower taxation – had any effects on the labor market? Do we have an increase in the total number of labor contracts registered?
• What is the effect of the increasing foreign workforce in Romania? Reading the numbers: what are the sectors that benefited from importing workforce, is there still room for more foreign workers, which are the main challenges for the foreign worker employers? Is Romania’s economy ready to deal with a high number of foreign workers?
• 2023 trends for the local workforce market, presented for debate, by Bestjobs experts.

    Inspiring Voices: Empowering Women Leaders & Entrepreneurs | 2nd Edition

    About

    With the extraordinary participation of H.E. Ramona CHIRIAC, Head of European Commission Representation in Romania

     

    About the event

    The business community has a stake in, and a responsibility for, gender equality and women’s empowerment in the workplace, marketplace, and community. Empowering women is essential to the health and social development of communities, families, and countries. When women live safe and productive lives, they can reach their full potential, contributing their skills to the workforce and powering sustainable economies.

    Around the world, women are key drivers of innovation growth. The private sector plays a crucial role in creating an environment where women can more meaningfully participate in the economy.

    The event spotlights inspiring success stories of outstanding women leaders and entrepreneurs taking the lead in their companies and highlights the importance of women’s leadership and decision-making in society, engaging on further eliminating the gender inequality issues met by women in the field of work.

    We want to inspire you with our comprehensive topics and a relevant list of guest speakers presenting story cases and ideas to overcome most of the barriers that women usually encounter on the way to becoming leaders. Also, we would very much like to go in-depth analysing Romania’s business environment regarding gender equality, success achieved, and challenges, in order to make it a better place for women to grow and develop and to create new opportunities for women to become leaders.

            Tax & Law: Focus on the Environment

            About

            At the beginning of a year that brings a series of new legislative regulations for the waste collection system, Business Review proposes for the 20th edition of "Tax & Law" a debate with a focus on the Environment, in particular on the topic of waste management, together with important legislators and stakeholders in this sector.

            "Tax & Law: Focus on the Environment" will address ways in which the waste collection system can be improved, with concrete proposals and initiatives both from top officials in the Ministry of Environment and its subordinate government agencies, and from the private sector, represented by major producers and their associations.

            The second part of the conference will focus on the legislative changes brought about by the European Commission in 2023 that affect the packaging industry, dialogues in which top officials at European level will take part.

            The roundtable event will take place on February 16, 2023, at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Bucharest. Seats in the physical audience are limited, please use the form on this page to book your place at the conference (free for waste industry and environmental services professionals).

                Judging Procedure

                The True Leaders Gala is an event in which we award all companies that succeeded to stand out by meeting four objective criteria:

                • Are included in the top 500 most profitable companies for 2021
                • Have had an increase in their personnel (2021 vs 2020)
                • Have high creditworthiness (ICAP Credit Score* from A1 to B2)
                • Are leaders in their sector

                The first step in the selection process is to create a top based on EBITDA, calculated according to December 2021 financial data. State-owned companies are excluded from this selection, as well as banks, insurance and non-banking financial institutions.

                Out of these 500 companies, the True Leaders awarded companies will be selected.

                The industries are formed based on the companies’ main activities. The industry is given by the main NACE code declared by the companies, the NACE division or group of activities. The selection between the NACE division (first two digits of the NACE code), group (first 3 digits of the NACE code) or NACE code is made based on the diversity of activities comprised within the same division.
