Mental fitness of leaders
How leaders stay functional in a time of constant change. Resilience, stress regulation, boundaries — not as a wellness topic, but as an operational necessity.
In a time when talent chooses employers, not the other way around, while generations within the same team speak different languages, the role of HR is shifting from operational to strategic. People analytics, employer branding, AI in hiring processes and the mental fitness of leaders — it all comes to the same table.
For the fourth year running, HR.Weekend brings together more than a thousand HR professionals and enthusiasts from the region. Learning, growth and connection — in Rovinj, far from corporate halls.
Less theory. More of what actually works in practice. Fewer lectures. More conversations with people going through the same things as you.
The third year running, the same energy — and more and more people who don’t want to miss out.

Moments from last year’s edition of HR.Weekend in Rovinj.












How leaders stay functional in a time of constant change. Resilience, stress regulation, boundaries — not as a wellness topic, but as an operational necessity.
1,000 reports, 0 insights — a familiar struggle. The metrics that truly change decisions and how to set them up so people act on them, not just look at them.
Baby boomers, X, millennials, Z — and increasingly Alpha on internships. What they really want, how they communicate and where the points that connect them meet.
The specifics of HR in family companies — from succession and professionalization to double hierarchies. Experiences from those who have been through the transition.
How an employer brand is built beyond the careers page. What really drives people to submit an application and stay past the first 90 days.
Career growth in HR — what to know in the first 5 years, what changes when you take over a team, and the steps to a strategic role in the organization.
Three regional awards announced and presented as part of the festival — for excellence in practice, organisational culture and individual contribution to the profession.
