On a maritime mission in Ukraine

Meet Erik Froste, CEO of Swedish Roadferries, assigned by the European Union Advisory Mission for Civilian Security Sector Reform Ukraine (EUAM Ukraine), to go to Odesa and urgently assess when Ukraine can fulfil the crucial maritime requirements of becoming a member of the European Union.

Erik was on this mission for six months earlier this year, and you must listen to his story about everyday life in Ukraine. He also speaks about the brave people he met and the inspiring sight of ports, bridges, and the Vessel Control Traffic tower being rebuilt, a testament to the resilience and determination of the Ukrainian people.

Please listen to what Erik and I discussed and consider what you can contribute.

A new way of looking at the workforce in shipping

A new way of looking at the people working in our organisations is to take a more human approach to work. Kriss Petersson is the Head of Talent and Culture at Aeler Technologies, not the Head of HR. Listen to Kriss explain how a more people—and culture-oriented mindset can change an entire industry.

She strives for diversity of thought and openness when scouting for new employees, but we must become more visible to attract young talent. We also need to listen to what the incoming generation seeks in an employer. Young people are looking for work flexibility, recognition, and professional development. Can we offer them that?
