Ukrainian firm funds fight with Russia, relocating 600 employees

One such CEO is Andrew Pavliv. Through careful planning, his software development company N-iX was able to evacuate nearly 600 employees from the affected areas of the country in eastern Europe while also providing them with temporary housing, transportation, essentials, and financial support through the establishment of a relocation fund. Additionally, the 20-year-old business has contributed over $1 million to a number of groups that encourage peace in the troubled nation. Since 2014, we have been going over our business continuity plans. Although we were ready, I'm glad that none of them were put to death at that time, said Pavliv in an interview with The Jerusalem Post. These BCPs were updated throughout time to make sure the business could continue to have access to electricity, running water, and the internet. The BCP process rapidly become quite serious in the fall of 2021. "We began to worry in October as a result of the [increasingly ominous] news. We anticipated that something would occur, and the strategy team at our organization was constantly considering what to do and running potential invasion scenarios," the CEO added. Conversations that sounded more appropriate for military strategists than computer firm CEOs, in Pavliv's memory. Our plan made the assumption that the invasion would likely begin in the East and that the people who work there would be most in danger. "Kyiv being in the same jeopardy was not what we expected," He discussed the steps taken by N-management iX's to safeguard the safety of its workers, especially those who were most at risk, according to their justification. The entire number of persons who live close to the Dnieper River and closer to Russia is about 200, according to Pavliv. We gave them notice that they should relocate, and we offered to assist them, possibly two or even three weeks before the invasion began. You can relocate to Kyiv, Western Ukraine, such as Lviv, or even Ivano-Frankivsk, where our headquarters are located. If something happens, it will be much more difficult and crowded, therefore it's preferable to arrange housing for you now, Pavliv recalled. Only a few individuals actually did. On the weekend after Putin annexed Ukraine to Russia, their workforce accelerated. "He made a declaration on Friday... For us, it was a blatant indication that the invasion was about to begin. We started calling our Eastern employees. We advised them, "Now we are not just suggesting: if you genuinely want to be safe, simply move to West Ukraine."
