Poland a market in change and a continuingly interesting market

The gold-rush of the last decade being over, it’s time to take your Polish contacts to the next level. Relocare will help you to establish long-lasting relationships in Poland, which also can be your gateway to other Eastern European markets.

Supported by a well-educated and internationally-minded population of roughly 40 million inhabitants, Poland is still regarded as a rising star among the central European economies. After Poland’s EU entry in 2004, hundreds of thousands of Poles flocked to countries like the UK, Ireland or Sweden. Due to the financial crisis and Polish governmental incentives, many of these workers have recently returned, boosting the economy of their homeland and returning with new skills.

Moreover, Poland has received roughly 70 billion Euros in EU regional aid for its budget 2007-2013 alone, funding new motorway construction, environmental clean-ups and other projects; similar packages are underway.

All this makes Poland a very interesting trading partner. As a historic bridge to Eastern Europe, Poland shares borders with other Slavish countries and other important markets like Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

However, dealing with the Polish culture on a day-to-day basis professionally as well as personally requires Polish cultural awareness training and preparation.

For instance, business etiquette is more formal and hierarchical in Poland than you might be used to from Denmark. This includes that the concept of open-door-policy adopted by many Scandinavian companies is not well-understood by Polish employees. In fact, to many Poles, the open door policy and management leader stile of open dialog, feels worse than going to a confession in the church.
