MASIT held a professional workshop on the topic “ICT, Regulation, and Human Capital”
Organized by the Chamber of Commerce for Information and Communication Technologies – MASIT, on May 28 a specialized working meeting was held on the topic “ICT, Regulation, and Human Capital,” focusing on key challenges faced by the ICT sector in terms of regulation, human capital, and technological changes. The event brought together relevant representatives from institutions, the business sector, and academia. The first panel discussion featured Mr. Gjoko Velkovski, Deputy Minister for Social Policy, Demography and Youth, Mr. Lazar Jovevski, university professor and advisor to the Prime Minister on labor and social policy, Mr. Mladen Frchkoski, Head of the Labor Market Department at the Ministry of Economy and Labor, and Mr. Jordan Dimitrovski, President of MASIT, who in his address emphasized that the Chamber remains a strong advocate for the interests of the ICT industry and will intensify efforts to create a fair, predictable, and modern regulatory framework that supports digital transformation and the development of human capital as a key ICT sector resource. The legal aspect of the current regulations and the challenges faced by ICT companies were thoroughly addressed by Mr. Jovan Najdenovski — lawyer and long-time legal representative of MASIT. We are especially pleased that attendees had the opportunity to hear first-hand about the complexity of the everyday legal challenges ICT companies face. Professional insights and practical experiences were also shared by Ms. Nevena Meshko from Mak System, Ms. Ana Zakovska from ITLabs, and Ms. Dina Ivanovic from Prohiad SEE, each with significant roles in human resources, labor relations, and legal regulation within their companies. The discussion was enriched with valuable perspectives from other sectors as well, thanks to Ms. Kristina Spiroska from Halkbank, Mr. Slavko Sazdovski from Triglav Life Insurance, and Mr. Dejan Pavleski from Semos, who shared their practical experiences from the banking and insurance industries. Among the key topics discussed were the application of the Labor Law in the context of flexible work models, the legal and practical implications of automation and artificial intelligence, digitization of HR processes, and the need for new internal regulations related to working from home or abroad — i.e., remote work. The closing segment highlighted specific conclusions and recommendations for further action. One of the key outcomes of the event was the initiative to form a MASIT working group to propose amendments to the Labor Law in line with the ICT industry’s specific needs. It was also proposed to organize thematic roundtables including all relevant stakeholders — institutions, companies, and experts — to align regulation with current conditions and needs. The event was held at Halkbank‘s premises, a patron partner of MASIT, whose support and hospitality were essential for the successful organization of the meeting. MASIT remains committed to improving the business environment for ICT companies and advocating for industry interests during the creation and adaptation of the legal framework. Through collaboration, expertise, and an integrated approach, MASIT will continue leading the dialogue for a better future for the ICT sector in Macedonia. Новости Сите новости
