Polish companies struggle to find and reward workers

According to research conducted by Grant Thornton, almost 50% of companies complain that they cannot find workers and the cost of hiring is one of the most significant barriers hampering development. 43% of those polled mentioned employment costs as the main factor influencing costs, while 35 % pointed to expensive resources and 15% mentioned to high energy prices. When it comes to increasing wages, many companies complain that even if they do offer more taxes and premiums swallow much of the increase. Grant Thornton also found that Poland can expect another surge of emigration as British and Irish companies still need workers. In Poland a worker receives 56% of what an employer spends, while in Great Britain one receives 73%. (Rzeczpospolita p.B1) M.M.
