HRB Portal Podcast HRB Portal Podcast

In this episode I've been delighted to talk to Yuri Yanson, AGroup Head of Product Development Department who has shared his expertise on Product Development, so that embarking on your HR digital journey would be smooth & pleasant.

Yuri has pointed out that a regular revision of product strategy & processes that are adopted at AGroup facilitates meeting demands while aligning us with a constantly changing business environment. Since, as he has underlined we’re branded as a market & customer oriented company with a clear perspective of what should be accomplished. Yuri has also covered the fundamentals of HRB Portal product & processes, as well as mentioned the key advantages of it.

AGroup for more than a decade has been earning credibility among HR leaders ensuring the targeted results are met in time. It's not worth blaming fatigue or mediocre employees but rather it’s worth deploying sufficient skills & leveraging them correspondingly.

While many organisations struggle with paper & manual / routine work which keep them resistant from being responsive to digital transformation & reluctantly stepping in it’s really astonishing how digitalisation could consolidate & scale processes of any organisation avoiding hold ups by just adopting a proper digital mindset.

HRB Portal product could be positioned as functionally focused on transactional level processes (Basic HR processes) with the elements of the Strategic HR management level targeted at multinational companies in retail and banking industries with more than 1000 employees located in countries of AGroup operation: Baltics  and Poland.

Guest: GLIMSTEDT attorney-at-law & certified tax consultant, Gita Avotina

Host: AGroup PR & Marketing Manager, Julia Kuznecova



On 11 November 2021, the European Parliament gave the final approval on the EU Directive on public Country-by-Country Reporting (CbCR), formally known as the Directive of the European Parliament and the Council amending Directive 2013/34/EU as regards disclosure of income tax information by certain undertakings and branches.



Glimstedt is a well-recognized & leading law firm, which provides AGroup and respectively all HRB Portal users with all the necessary suite of legal and regulatory support in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia, ensuring full compliance with local legislation and proper conditions to make informed & confident decisions that work.



In this episode Gita Avotina, Glimstedt attorney-at-law & certified tax consultant answering the questions assumed that publishing CbCR on a voluntary basis might demonstrate the long-standing commitment to transparency since the positive impact outweighs the negative effect of higher tax payments.



Furthermore, there are companies which have independently moved towards voluntary publishing, for example, Vodafone, BHP Billiton, Unilever. Besides, enhanced transparency could be considered as a pivotal goal. Also, it’s worth noting that the EU Directive doesn’t overlap other CbCR standards, such as BEPS Action 13 and Global Reporting Initiative-207 (GRI-207).



Along with that, Gita has outlined that the most vital is the condition that information is public (disclosure of information) and is not filed only to the tax authorities. What’s more the exchange of information has already been performed, but only for tax authorities. Which means that the companies by substance have been prepared since 2016. Additionally, non-EU companies are covered by the regulations as well, if non-EU parented companies if they are operating in the EU through medium-sized or large subsidiaries or branches.”
