Our fellow member, Investors in People has just come out with their latest research about the employee sentiment trends in 2019. Click here to read this informative, in-depth analysis based on a survey completed by 2000 people.
Dear BCCH Members,
We kindly invite you to participate in an online survey made by the Association of Adult Educational Enterprises (FVSZ) about the human (mainly educational) needs of companies of domestic and foreign interest operating in Hungary.
We truly believe that the subject – educating and training adults at different organisations in Hungary – is essential regarding the country, the economy and last but not least the future of your business. After a thorough analysis, the summary of the findings supplemented with the professional proposals of FVSZ will be presented to the policy decision makers.
We are aware that answering the questions trustworthily requires quite a little of your precious time but it would have made no sense to shorten this questionnaire otherwise we couldn’t have achieved the desired aims i.e. professionally established results. To simplify your work you can answer the questions online.
To access the survey, please click here.
Thank you for your help and of course, all the findings of the research will be published on the homepage of FVSZ and in different media.
Should you have any further information, comments, questions, or feedback, please do not hesitate to contact us at bcch@bcch.com.
Thank you very much for your time.
Best regards,
Csurgai Csilla
Executive Director
BCCH
