Customer Reviews

Tereza Králová People & Culture Business Lead, Raiffeisenbank

Jana Tikalová is absolutely fabulous. At the office management meetup and at the celebration of the first anniversary of the Krotitele Kanclu community, she talked to us about diversity and inclusion, words that are so often used today, but few people know what they actually mean. She gave us tips on how to promote D&I in companies and we learned what her NGO OPIM can do. It was great and on behalf of all the office managers, thank you so much for sharing your professional yet human and reasonable perspective.

Blanka Zonygová Front Office & Facility Manager

A big thanks on behalf of the International Study Programs and Baruch College: Zicklin School of Business, USA to Jana Tikalova from OPIM. She was leading a workshop for our New York University students of the MBA executive program focusing on HR. Jana's task was to introduce diversity and inclusion in the Czech Republic in comparison to the USA, and disclose how to best approach the topic. Jana has done an excellent job in an interactive form, although the program was online. The students actively discussed and they were given a task to practically solved and introduce their ideas. Great job, Jana! We are honored to work with you.

Ivana Turkova Program Manager, International Study Programs

We have invited Jana to moderate and facilitate our virtual conference where diversity and inclusion were topics to open to our employees. The whole program of the conference was interactive and fun. Presentations, exercises, quizzes under Jana's facilitation and moderation brought lots of interesting questions, AHA moments, and understanding of the topics exactly as we wanted. We are grateful for Jana's maximum efforts during the preparation, professionalism, and mainly her openness and very human approach.
