Hiring for skills, missing on fit
Technically strong hires leave within months when working styles never align with headquarters' expectations. Early turnover becomes the biggest hidden cost.
Relocation treated as a transaction
A stamped visa and a rented flat are not settlement. An employee whose family has not settled is already thinking about going home.
Policies written for one audience
Purely Polish-compliance HR policies are legally sound but operationally exhausting. Leadership ends up translating between two rulebooks.
A cast of thousands
Separate recruiters, lawyers, agents and payroll providers who never talk to each other. Your team becomes the coordination layer.
The companies that struggle in Poland rarely struggle with forms. They struggle with people.
