Description
Polish national postal operator Poczta Polska has announced that it will create about 2,000 jobs at units across Poland. The company is mainly looking for mail delivery staff.
After the large dismissal programmes carried out in waves over the previous years affecting thousands of jobs (2011, 2012, 2014, and 2015) Poczta Polska is currently facing a lack of employees. To deal with insufficient workforce capacity, the company decided to increase salaries in 2018.
As of September 2018, Poczta Polska employs over 80,000 people across the country.
