Workplace, Real Estate & Community

Offices in 2026: Less space, higher quality. Fit-outs help companies manage rising costs

According to Colliers’ Occupier Fit-Out Guide 2026 study, companies across Europe are changing the way they approach offices. The result is more compact, higher-quality and more flexible spaces that are in line with hybrid work models and growing, ESG-related regulatory requirements.

GBS, Tech & Digital Innovation

GBS Leaders Bet on AI to Reimagine Performance

As artificial intelligence’s (AI’s) real-world impact comes into focus, organizations are beginning to realize transformational returns on their investments. More than half are scaling AI for customer experience, with 76% reporting key metric improvements of 25% or more. This has significant implications for GBS executives.
The Hackett Group’s 2026 Global Business Services Key Issues Study Results deliver insight into how GBS organizations are managing this dynamic landscape.

Education & Talent

8 Free Seats / Workshop: Exclusive HPE Soft Skills Sessions for ABSL CZ Members

ABSL CZ members have a unique chance to join two expert-led, face-to-face workshops by Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Only 8 free seats are available for each workshop. First-come, first-served. If interested, contact Tomas Bimka at tomas.bimka@hpe.com

EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION WORKSHOP
Effective communication isn’t just about talking – it’s about making sure your message lands the way you intend it to.
This workshop is not about abstract theories. It’s a communication lab – a space where you can test, refine, and strengthen your communication skills in a safe environment. Through hands-on practice, feedback, and clear, structured methods, you’ll leave with practical tools that you can apply immediately.
February 27 | 9:00–16:00 CET | HPE, Prague 4 | 8 Free seats for ABSL CZ Members

MINDFULNESS & MIND FITNESS WORKSHOP
Learn how to train your mind to be calmer, more present, and focused. That will improve your work performance and also the quality of life and well-being. We live in a fast-paced world with many distractions. There is always more on our to-do list than what fits into our time, and our mind is constantly overloaded. The result is, for example, we cannot stop thinking even when we need to (like when we want to sleep). Mindfulness will teach you how to decrease the fluctuation of your mind, lower the tension in your body, and live more in the present moment. It will teach you how to switch off the autopilot and, instead of being dragged by circumstances, consciously create your response.
March 20 | 9:00–16:00 CET | HPE, Prague 4 | 8 Free seats for ABSL CZ Members

If interested, contact Tomas Bimka at tomas.bimka@hpe.com

Business Insights & Market Perspective

What makes a company truly responsible and respected?

PwC has consistently ranked among the TOP 30 most responsible large companies in the Czech Republic, and in 2025 it reaffirmed this position by receiving both the TOP Responsible Large Company – Advanced award and the TOP Responsible Company in Reporting award. These accolades, presented by the independent alliance Business for Society, are based on a thorough evaluation of responsible and sustainable business practices. They underscore that for PwC, responsibility is not just a statement of intent, it is a long‑term, actively pursued commitment.
