ANDREIA STANCIU, Head of ACCA South-Eastern Europe: We have found opportunity in adversity during the past year

There is no side that fits all. However, during the past year, we have found that there was opportunity in adversity for us and our affiliated members.

Companies shifted their work activities online and according to their feedback, the new work context brought them growth opportunities and increase of earnings. At ACCA, we are very close with Learning & Development departments.

Since 2018, at global level, ACCA conducted a survey called “Learning for the future”, that took into account ACCA members, affiliates and students across the globe. The conclusions found in the report here mentioned as main directions: Technology in accounting;  The evolving workplace, Flexibility in careers, The growth of self-curated learning and not the least, the question and answers to “Why does growth matter in this profession?”. The pandemic didn’t contradict them buton contrary, exacerbated them.  For that, they need a mentor, a coach and this is the purpose of Learning & Development programs.

The statement has been uttered by ANDREIA STANCIU, Head of ACCA South-Eastern Europe within today’s THE DIPLOMAT BUCHAREST’s fifth Edition of LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE in online format, on 25th of February, 2021

The event has been supported by DIAMOND PARTNER: Wipro, GOLD PARTNERS: PwC, ACCA, Lovering& Partners, Business Performance Consultants, MEDIA PARTNERS: Outsourcing Today, Automotive Today, Financial Intelligence, Economistul, Romania Durabila, Club Economic, Bursa.

The series of events dedicated to LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT depicts the current trends and how they affect the business and the employees and commit to making positive changes within business organizations and working teams.

The role of L&D broadened even more in a year of unprecedented change and L&D managers needed to rethink their approach in pursuing the targeted objectives. Remote-working teams and individuals needed to embark and adjust to new L&D processes and the way of doing things has fundamentally changed.
