Our 260 members in 2020 employ more than 91,000 people in Croatia, strongly contributing to the Croatian economy. This has been emphasized in our numerous contacts with Government officials through the year and our advocating for government economic relief measures through the spring of 2020, elaborated in our three sets of proposals, some of which were accepted. In this unpredictable situation, this topic is set to dominate the business context, while taking care of employees and loved ones.
Throughout the year, we have switched to a virtual environment, offered many practical and operational workshops, kept open dialogue with many ministries, more exchange of practices within CEE, and introduced a partnership with the Harvard Business Review Press with the goal of offering fresh, new ideas to support coping with the current situation. We were happy to see that increased membership engagement confirmed that we made good decisions.
