Kyiv offices hadn’t closed doors to associates and their families at the beginning of the war, serving shelters and places to work. When it became a bit safer, we continued to operate in a normal mode. Around 10% of associates now work from our coworking in two offices, and there is a tendency for growth. We plan to launch a certifications center and equip parking for electric cars this summer, comments Kyiv DC director Olena Lebedieva.The number of people returning to other operating centers in Ukraine is growing slower — 38 associates have returned to Dnipro since April, and ten people have come to Kharkiv starting from May. The opposite trend is seen in Odesa as ten associated left the city since May. 25% of relocated specialists already came back from the most popular locations in Western Ukraine SoftServe’s associates who were forced to relocate to western regions are also actively returning to their ordinary locations.
