About the project and its outcome

At the turn of June and July 2018, Polish-Swiss Chamber of Commerce in association with Boyden Poland conducted a Human Capital Practices Survey. The survey has been created by a working group of Swiss companies affiliated with the Chamber.

It had a simple and relatively short formula, with a future goal to conduct it once a year. This way the participating companies received a relevant information on how the Human Capital practices (i.e. incentives, benefits) are developing and how the companies adapt to the ongoing changes.

The survey asked a total of 58 questions, including open-ended, single- and multiple choice questions and was finally filled out by approx. 50 companies.

In fact, the survey confirmed the following conclusions:
– Attracting and maintaining qualified personnel has become more and more difficult and create a real challenge for the companies.
– One of the less costly measures to meet the employee expectations is development of non-compensation related benefits.
– Poland follows the trends previously noticed in Western Europe as an outcome of last years’ consequent economic development as well as presence of many foreign companies/investments.
– Swiss companies in Poland are currently recruiting due to both their and local (Polish) market development.
– Costs and choice of incentives / benefits are progressively increasing. Nevertheless, this is compensated by faster companies’ performance growth, as a result of significant employees’ involvement increase.

The report was followed by two events during which the results were presented. Both CEOs and people from HR departments were able to exchange experiences and discuss challenges among their peers with regard to the report.

The survey has been supplemented with additional questions about planned and realized salary increase in years 2017-2019. The results showed that the actual percentage of increase was always higher than the one forecast in the budget.

Below you will find an excerpt from the report.

BALAJCZA undertook simultaneous interpreting during the UK-Poland Science Forum, organised by the British Embassy Warsaw and the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The event took place on 13-14 September in Warsaw.

The Forum was dedicated to cooperation among the representatives of scientific communities, Centres for Technology Transfer, and institutions promoting development and implementing new innovative solutions in Poland and in the UK. It offered an opportunity to show how much had already been achieved due to cooperation between Poland and the UK in science and innovation. It was a starting point for new forms, areas and methods of cooperation.

The Forum marked the culmination of the PL-UK Year of Entrepreneurship, Science and Innovation (YESI). The initiative was launched in December 2017 by Prime Ministers Mateusz Morawiecki and Theresa May as part of the bilateral intergovernmental consultations aiming to further promote the cooperation between Poland and the UK, also in the field of science and innovation. Representatives from both countries participated in the Forum. The topics discussed included cooperation within the scope of science, innovation and creation of friendly ecosystems, both today and in the future.
