Genesis has opened a representative office in Poland, and plans to have a temporary office in Cyprus

Ukrainian IT company Genesis has opened a 200-seat Office in Warsaw, as some of its employees left for Poland after a full-scale war. The company also plans to set up a temporary office in Cyprus, Genesis COO Artem Kopanev said in an interview with AIN.

According to him, work began to resume a few days after the start of the war, and two weeks later 95% of the team returned to standard working mode.

"Managers have resumed regular meetings, and HR managers are looking for the most successful options for joint activities," he said.

Regarding employees, Kopanev claims that the company did not have any cuts caused by the war, as well as changes in salaries. The increases that were discussed and approved before the war were brought to the final point. People receive all payments on time, the manager assured.

He also said that since the beginning of the war, business processes have had to be adapted in all areas. The company revised the tasks and scope of work, but there were no significant changes in the functions of team members.

In turn, hiring in the first weeks was put on pause, we worked only with the most priority vacancies. Over time, this process has also improved — now the company offers positions for specialists of various levels and profiles.

In addition, some employees decided to join the Armed Forces of Ukraine and territorial defense. They retain jobs and wages. They also help with providing military ammunition to those who need it.

According to Kopanev, during the war, Genesis joined the Lviv technology community and became a member of the Lviv IT cluster. This is supposed to help you achieve the best results in various areas of the company's work.

At the same time, Genesis plans to return and resume full — fledged work at the main office in Kiev.

In addition, the company's COO said that the Genesis ecosystem products are focused on the global market, and "more than 13 businesses are successfully operating in Europe, the United States and Africa." Most companies have already adapted to the new conditions and challenges.

Despite the war, the Ukrainian IT company is ready to invest in new projects. In particular, this is possible due to the fact that startups are launched in the R&D division.

"We work not so much on finding innovative technologies, but on interesting niches and testing new business models-this is the main difference between Genesis R&D and others. If the project is actively growing, we are ready to invest in it, even despite the war," Kopanev said.

Earlier it was reported that part of the Genesis teams resumed hiring new people for the second week of the full-scale war in Ukraine.
