About me:
I have been with the HP/HPE Why is the GEO called DACH & Russia?
DACH is a combination of the abbreviations for three countries:
family for 33 years, mainly in all D for Germany,
sorts of HR roles. Briefly left HP A for Austria and
to take a Global HR lead at a CH for Switzerland
midsize High Tech Company and These 3 countries are managed in many companies as one sub-region and
then came back to HPE. therefore in Europe DACH is a common term for these 3 countries. So with
DACH & Russia, all 4 countries are represented in the name of the GEO.

• Tough labor-market for talented graduates with modern IT

• Topics like IoT, Industry 4.0 and in general digitalization
led to a strong demand for skilled graduates in that area.

strong footprints in our countries have huge demand for “digital natives”.
There is a “war for talents” for these profiles. Each country so far has
developed their own strategy to be successful in their respective labor
market.
