In brief:

More and more businesses are seizing growth opportunities and moving operations to Poland to stay ahead of their competition. Many Western European countries have already set up operations, taking advantage of dynamic and cost-effective human resources – and the UK is hot on their heels. Doing business in different employment law jurisdictions can prove particularly problematic for the HR professionals responsible for integrating cross-country operations. A good knowledge of the employment law operating in Poland is vital in maintaining good staff relations and avoiding disputes.

This seminar will provide an overview of the legislative frameworks in Poland – and you will hear practical management advice, guidance on anticipated problem areas and key insights into the regional cultural differences.

This event is CPD accredited.
