Growing up
Over the past 13 years, our team has evolved dynamically in terms of people and skills. Currently, we continue to grow – both as a team and as expertise to offer innovative solutions in all areas of People Management: talent attraction and employer branding, training and development, leadership programs, staff engagement and well-being programs.
Initiative
We are the people who introduced neuroscience into the Bulgarian business environment through a tool called Neuro-Agility Profile™. Like an engine in the workforce, it is our magic wand with which we develop and foster creativity, adaptability and flexibility.
Ingenuity
The first proprietary methodology for measuring employee engagement is the work of KATRO Bulgaria in the person of Anelia Miteva. Based on the SCARF™ model, the methodology has established its relevance and contribution to improving employee engagement and the employer brand of a number of successful business brands.
INNOVATIVENESS
In 2021, KATRO Bulgaria paved the way as a true pioneer in the field of e-learning by creating the first video program on leadership skills in the new hybrid environment: “Successful in the New Virtual Reality.” The program was successfully implemented with over 300 managers from a leading bank in Bulgaria in a “bite-sized learning” format.
Achievements
We are proud two-time finalists at the annual awards of the Bulgarian Association for Human Resource Management. In 2018, we reached the finals thanks to the Innovative Leadership Program of Reichle & De-Massari, and the program for defining the new Employee Value Proposition of Raiffeisenbank took us there again in 2021.
- In 2016, we were honored as a member of the European Pact for Youth UN Global Goals Network for our integrated training program for Youth Mediators.
- In 2018, we initiated a sustainable partnership with UNHCR Bulgaria by creating a large-scale national study on the employment of refugees in the Bulgarian labor market and organizing multiple job fairs over the next four years.
In 2019, we were recognized as a socially responsible and ethical company by the Bulgarian Business Leaders Forum.
- In 2020, we launched an active partnership with the EMPROVE Foundation, providing lecturing, mentoring, and inspirational support to women who successfully emerged from toxic relationships involving physical and emotional abuse.
- In 2022 marked a decade of strategic, organizational, and operational partnership with SOS Children’s Villages Bulgaria.
DO YOU KNOW THAT?
KATRO is one of the few HR companies in Bulgaria with a sustainable CSR policy. We firmly stand behind the causes we choose, believing that this support transforms us both as individuals and as a society. Sharing our contributions is another way to show that we care. And we care deeply!
In the heart of KATRO Bulgaria
As an integral part of die Berater corporate mission, Corporate Social Responsibility stands at the forefront—supporting and empowering children with oncological, autoimmune, or chronic illnesses through digital training, communication tools, and ECDL (European Computer Driving License). These efforts have been recognized with numerous awards, including “Economy Helps” (2020), the ECDL Award for Best Practices (2017), and many others.
At KATRO Bulgaria, we apply these values as an integral part of our operations. With a constant pursuit of broader knowledge and technological advancement in our daily practice on the local market, we achieve a successful blend of effective approaches and inspiring change. As for our achievements and accolades over the past decade, they are a well-deserved reflection of our dedication and efforts!
