Description
British insurance company Prudential has announced that it will create over 100 new jobs at its units across Poland by the end of 2018. The restructuring programme is due to additional contracts signed with customers. The chairman of the company informed Prudential will not launch many new products, but rather focus on obtaining new contracts. The UK-based insurance company was founded in 1848. The company has been operating in Poland since 2013. Currently, the company employs around 900 consultants in Poland.
