Brief Organization Information: The community center "Aisi" in Pshaveli, operating for over 10 years, has recently established a social enterprise, a confectionery named "Tanave," with the aim of empowering young people and integrating their work. Visitors can purchase and taste

confectionery and snacks. Simultaneously, interns working in the enterprise have the opportunity to gain professional skills for future employment. Social Purpose: The enterprise aims to enhance the economic sustainability of women and youth by fostering professional skills development and facilitating employment opportunities.

Problem description: A social enterprise faces a crucial human resources challenge. It lacks a defined HR strategy, including aspects such as recruitment, retention, and job description preparation. The organization is grappling with a persistent turnover of personnel, further highlighting the need for strategic HR interventions.

Services delivered: Tuti Uplisashvili and Eka Chikviladze, dedicated members of the Human Resources Management Department, actively participated in addressing the aforementioned challenges. The company's representatives engaged in two productive meetings with the social enterprise, delving into the formulation of a comprehensive strategy for acquiring and retaining new staff within the constraints of the enterprise's capabilities. The commitment of Tuti Uplisashvili and Eka Chikviladze resulted in a total of 6 pro bono hours contributed by the company.

Result of Pro Bono Mediation: The collaboration led to the development of a robust HR strategy, coupled with expert consultation on recruitment and retention practices. The social enterprise now possesses a tailored framework to enhance its human resources management, contributing to the establishment of a more stable and resilient workforce.
