Warsaw ranks 7th best city in world for workplace benefits and perks

New research carried out by card payment provider, Paymentsense, reveals Warsaw in Poland is the seventh best city in the world for workplace benefits.

From attracting and keeping talent to complying with local and national laws, the benefits a company offers its staff can be ‘make or break’ for many current or prospective employees. With this in mind, Paymentsense created the Work-Life Culture Index to reveal the countries and cities across the globe that are the best for employee benefits. Over 40 countries (and their most populated cities) were scored and ranked on a range of standard benefits offered by companies worldwide. These include the average working hours, paid maternity leave, vacation allowance, average salaries, average retirement age and more.

The city of Warsaw offers the seventh best workplace benefits, including 13 paid public holidays and 39 days of annual leave on average. But what really stands out for Warsaw is their maternity leave. With 20 paid weeks maternity leave and 100 percent of your salary paid, they’re one of the most generous places of all when it comes to taking time off for your baby. All these benefits gave an index of 62 out of 100.

Bratislava in Slovakia came out on top with an overall index score of 77.1 out of 100 offering better workplace benefits than anywhere else. Paris, ranks in second place scoring 72.9 out of 100 and St Paul’s Bay in Malta rounds off the top three with a score of 69.3, respectively.
