📣2025 brings changes in Estonian #VAT law mainly concerning real estate investors and financial service providers! The VAT registration obligation arises once surpassing the EUR 40,000 threshold, which, starting from 2025, entails income derived from some financial services transactions and income from leasing and letting real estate. Get in touch with Verner Silm or myself, happy to discuss! #financialservices #realestate

Next Thursday (dec 5th) I am doing a webinar with the Estonian Ecommerce Association (aka Eesti E-kaubanduse Liit ) about the e-commerce markets in Scandinavia and the Baltics. Until now most companies have simply been running around blindfolded because it has been impossible to grasp and understand the market. But with the Tembi platform we make what has previously been infeasible feasible. We constantly analyse more than 500.000 #webshops in Europe. 70.000 of those are in Scandinavia and the Baltics. In the webinar - which will be in English - we are going to dig into the markets so you can learn how to become successful - such as 🎁 how are different product categories performing? 🚚 which delivery and payment solutions are typically used 🌎 what to consider when expanding to foreign markets? Find the webinar below. Thank you for the invitation Tõnu Väät! Andre V. Carsten Pingel Jens Wedenborg Carsten Rose Lundberg #ecommerce #lastmile

My year at Tripod as a recruiter in emoji: ❗ (PS! There's a prize at the end!) September 🤓 aka ''The Curious Learner'' phase October 🙄 aka ''Umm, I'm Still A Bit Confused'' phase November 😵 aka ''Ok, I Have To Do ALL THAT?!'' phase December 🙋♀️ aka ''OK - I (think I) Can Do All THAT!'' phase January 😳 aka ''Am I Getting The Hang Of It?'' phase February 💪 aka ''Yes, I'm Getting the Hang Of It!'' phase March 😍 aka ''I Still Really Wanna Go To Work Every Morning'' phase April 🤩 aka ''I Can Actually Add Value'' phase May 🤽♀️ aka ''A Month Before My Summer Vacation...'' phase June 🧘♀️ aka ''Took Time To Rest'' phase July 🧗♀️ aka ''Ok, Let's Start Climbing The Next Challenges'' phase August 🚴♀️ aka ''The Support Wheels Are Off!'' phase September 🏋♀️ aka ''Let's Start Doing The Heavy Lifting!'' phase October 🤸♀️ aka ''I Love This Thing - Let's Keep Going'' phase For the last few years, I've taken my career(s) pretty much as a sports regime - to be successful, you have to balance the training with recovery time. In high-level sports, it's not about who can train the most, but about the holistic view on the process (workouts, nutrition, coach, recovery, team, budget etc) - and I have a heck of a team here at Tripod! The video is here to prove that - that's what we did with our amazing team and some extra help from our good partners. To me, sports metaphors never get old. Here's one from ChatGPT: ''Recruitment is like a triathlon — a multi-stage challenge requiring agility, endurance, and precision. From diving into the talent pool to cycling through interviews, and sprinting towards the perfect hire, it's all about balancing speed with stamina to reach the finish line strong.'' - SO TRUE! :) And now, to sum up - congrats, you made it to the end! As a prize for you, you can now hit me up with your favourite sports metaphor (for a career or life overall). ⬇

I strongly support the views in this article. An old saying ' Prevention is better than cure' yet relevant in all times. According to me, there is a need for certain guidelines or training for school teachers so that they can observe and proactively identify such children who are in need of any kind of help. After all, they are the ones with whom children spend most of their time in a day. Mobile addiction leading to aggression, gender confusion and many other concerns are on rise. Such issues need proactive approach. A complete roadmap to observe, identify and step in !

One of the reasons, your voice is not strong enough and influential, is as simple that you are an introvert. Thank you Martin Mark for sharing hints for introverts, how to achieve even better results in communication. I would also add, that these can give you stronger voice: 💠 Give clear signals to others, if you would like to say something. 💠 React (visibly, with your body language and with your words) to what is being said. 💠 When listening, try to guess, in what direction the discussion is going. Prepare one or few comments, that you could use about that topic, when getting a chance to speak. 💠 Use your own natural way of being witty, funny or humorous, to add some nice encouraging remarks. 💠 Guide the topic, being currently used there in the conversation, towards more interesting and suitable topics for you. 💠 Be prepared to tell few short stories that you can use when connecting it with different topics discussed in conversation.

As some of you have noticed, I’m back in consulting to help also other companies tackle the complexity of abbreviations like DORA, NIS2, E-ITS, and KÜTS. Are these really that challenging? Let’s dive into what they mean (in Estonian this time).

A very concerning topic that cannot be overlooked! An article in Äripäev about employee exploitation emphasizes the need to pay great attention to labor relations. Representing the staffing company, we find it important to comment on this. Today, we spoke with our CEO Dmitri Burov about his thoughts on this matter. Dmitri emphasized that recently there has been a huge influx of careless one-day companies entering the labor market. We are compelled to warn all job seekers and partner companies and remind them how to prevent this unpleasant situation. To avoid collaborating with dishonest staffing companies, we recommend paying attention to the following points: 1. Conduct a thorough background check on the company: check annual reports, number of employees, tax payments, and average salary (this data is available at www.teatmik.ee (http://www.teatmik.ee/)). 2. Evaluate the company's reputation. Pay attention to reviews from other companies and employees, assess the company's website, presence on social networks, customer reviews and recommendations, and information about the team. 3. Ensure that a clear service agreement is concluded between your company and the staffing company. 4. Ensure that a correct contract is signed between the staffing company and each employee. These recommendations by Dmitri will help you to avoid unpleasant situations and take advantage of all the benefits of collaborating with labor staffing companies. Be aware that the main goal of staffing agencies is to ensure the safety and transparency of labor relations for all parties involved. #workplacesafety #laborrelations #mediationagency #companyrelationship #companyvalues #customervalues #reputation #carelesscompanies  #laborrecruitment #staffingcompany

Very beautifully written. Does it reflect with you?:) Estonia celebrated it's Independence Day yesterday! My thoughts: In the space of rapid changes we seem to forget that nations are connected to their roots and ancestors by respecting reasonable traditions, the family creative time and care for each other despite the position neither political views. Nation should not be manifested through growth or fall. Growing bigger can be a natural process, going smaller as well. It is hard to accept the mindset of many nations where the part of nation manifesta is built on growing bigger or built on the time in the history where they were big and now longing back this time. Strength is in beneficial politics these days, but still, the real strength is inside us while celebrating the roots as human beings not as nation-minded first. Managing small and smart is sometimes not easy, though absolutely cool when you can know your president or prime minister through only 1 person mostly. Lovely it is to think about living side by side rather than consuming each other :). I'm happy to celebrate that we still live in relatively reasonable times, despite the ongoing conflicts around us.

Accessibility is the issue that is crucial for everyone's inclusion. Are we prepared already for the upcoming regulation? Here are my thoughts on it. #accessibility
