Natalia Averina: "Up & Down Grading" /
Up-and-down grading. How to find out which of your seniors are actually middle managers.
In 2017, Magora Systems faced high staff turnover. This is a fairly common problem for outsourcing IT companies. But we decided to tackle this issue ourselves. Now we know how to answer these questions.
1. Why you shouldn't panic when people leave, but simply talk to them.
2. How to motivate employees and who to involve.
3. Why a very detailed grading system can confuse even HR.
4. What to do if, after the probationary period, an employee's stated level turns out to be lower than their actual level.

Magora Systems
I have been working as an HRD in various companies for over 10 years. I moved from medicine to IT outsourcing and participated in the development and implementation of an IT personnel assessment system, which is now successfully implemented within the company. I am responsible for the recruitment, assessment, training, and development of all categories of personnel.
Recently, my department was assigned an HR-PR function, which is responsible for HR branding, shaping the company's image, and increasing employee loyalty and engagement.
In my free time, I practice yoga, play volleyball, and love to travel.
