A quarter of the managers of Hungarian small and medium-sized enterprises regularly, almost 45 percent of them, have attended knowledge-sharing online seminars as spectators at least once in order to increase the company’s profitability with the knowledge acquired there. Most people working in the banking and financial sector, healthcare and construction are open to webinars, according to Generali Insurance’s research among SMEs. Knowing the results, the company is now helping small and medium-sized businesses with a new, free program to make their operations more sustainable and productive.
