Quijano & Associates and ManpowerGroup Panama hosted a business event focused on key labor market trends and important legal developments affecting companies operating in Panama.

Held at Quijano & Associates’ offices in Santa María, the event brought together more than 30 executives from local companies, providing a forum to share timely information and, importantly, exchange experiences and perspectives on developments influencing corporate management and decision-making.

During the event, Dadhiv Jiménez, Country Manager of ManpowerGroup Panama, presented key labor trends and findings from ManpowerGroup’s Employment Outlook Survey, providing attendees with insights into the evolving labor market and hiring expectations.

Representing Quijano & Associates, Sara Montenegro addressed Panama’s new Economic Substance Law, discussing relevant aspects of the new legal framework and its implications for businesses.

Turning information into better business decisions

In an evolving business environment, staying informed requires looking beyond any single area of expertise. Regulatory developments, changing labor market dynamics, talent availability and hiring decisions are increasingly interconnected aspects of the same business reality.

Access to timely information in these areas enables executives to anticipate different scenarios, identify potential impacts on their organizations and make decisions with a broader understanding of the environment in which they operate.

The value of these gatherings also extends beyond the presentations themselves. Bringing together leaders and executives from different companies creates opportunities to discuss the challenges their organizations are facing, the solutions they are implementing and experiences that may prove valuable across industries.

This is where high-level business networking takes on practical value: learning what other companies are doing, comparing experiences, sharing best practices and identifying opportunities for collaboration that might not otherwise emerge.

Combining legal knowledge, labor market intelligence and meaningful dialogue among business leaders provides better tools for decision-making and, on a broader level, contributes to a more informed, connected and resilient business ecosystem.
