More and more people from Ukraine, Georgia and Moldova, as well as from Asia, Africa and South America, are choosing to work in Poland. Why? Poland offers legal employment, attractive working conditions and opportunities for professional growth. Foreigners also often decide to move and seek happiness somewhere new for the sake of their own and their family’s safety. See why our workers stay here for longer and feel at home.
1. A stable job and fair pay
In Poland you can count on legal employment, regular pay and clear working conditions. Companies like ours offer an employment contract or a civil-law contract, which guarantees financial security. A steady salary, free meals at work and allowances are just some of the benefits our workers appreciate. The pay lets them not only support themselves but also save money and help their families back home.
“The most important thing for me was that my pay always arrives on time. In my country that is not something you can take for granted.” — Oksana from Ukraine, who has been working in Poland for 3 years.
It is also worth mentioning that more and more companies, ours included, help foreigners with travelling to Poland and with the legalisation process. When you come to work, it is certainly hard to understand the paperwork, especially in a foreign country and an unfamiliar language. That is why it is so good when the company helps you and guides you through the whole process.
You are ready to work, and they take care of the rest. What more could you want?
2. Close to home and easy contact with family
For many people, working in Poland is not only a chance of stable employment but also the comfort of being close to home and family.
Poland lies in the centre of Europe, so travelling from many countries — such as Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova or Lithuania — is quick and relatively cheap. A few hours by bus, train or plane is enough to visit your loved ones back home.
Well-developed transport infrastructure is a huge advantage for people working abroad. Numerous bus, air and rail connections make planning trips home really easy. More and more carriers also offer special discounts for people working in Poland who travel often between countries.
Cultural and linguistic similarities between Poland and Eastern European countries help in everyday life — it is easier to communicate, understand local customs or find your favourite products from home.
Many of our workers say it is this cultural closeness that makes them feel relaxed and safe here.
Even for people from more distant countries, staying in touch with family is extremely easy today thanks to fast internet, cheap international calls and video-calling apps.
In Poland you can use Wi-Fi or inexpensive mobile internet practically everywhere — even in small towns.
This is a huge help for people who want to stay close to their families despite the distance. Many talk to their loved ones every day — cooking together over video, helping children with online learning or simply sharing their daily lives.
As a result, despite working in another country, family ties do not fade — they often even grow stronger, because contact becomes more conscious and valued.
Many workers stress that Poland is a place where you can work, develop professionally and still be close to the people you love.
3. Friendly people and openness to foreigners
Poles increasingly work alongside foreigners and appreciate how hard they work. Years of migration to Poland have shown that many specialists who were previously in short supply can be found in other countries. Hence the openness to people from other countries. Many workplaces have a family atmosphere, and experienced workers are happy to support newcomers regardless of their origin or language.
Many companies also help with accommodation, translating documents and completing formalities.
Poland is becoming an ever more open country, and foreigners also hold management positions.
It is also worth adding that cuisine and culture from around the world are flourishing here — so everyone can feel at home.
4. Opportunities for growth and learning Polish
Working in Poland is a great opportunity to learn Polish and gain new qualifications. Many workers start in simple positions and over time are promoted to team leaders, coordinators or managers. Poland has many companies and branches of brands from all over the world that offer great career prospects — especially for people who can already speak Polish as well as their native language. Commitment and a desire to grow are always appreciated. In time, you can even start your own company and build your own brand.
In our company, nationality has never been an obstacle — our managers and coordinators come from Romania, Mongolia and Ukraine, among other places. Each of them started in a simple production job, but by showing their value and skills they climbed the career ladder to a higher position. Everyone has that chance.
5. A safe and peaceful life in Poland
Poland is a stable and safe country with a good standard of living and access to healthcare. Every employed person with a PESEL number can count on free medical check-ups and medical help when needed — whether they are a Polish citizen or a foreigner. Everyone staying legally has the same rights. The same applies to various state benefits, for example for children: the “800+” child benefit is available for every child.
Clean cities, quiet neighbourhoods and well-developed transport make everyday life comfortable and safe.
In both large and smaller towns you can count on friendly conditions for living, working and raising children.
Summary
Poland is a great place to work and live — safe, stable and welcoming to foreigners.
Our workers often come for a short contract and stay for years.
