Poland still offers lower costs of highly-qualified resources.
• Salaries in Poland are still much lower than in Western Europe.
• The recent worldwide crisis has stopped the growth of salaries reflecting the escalation
of employees’ expectations. It is anticipated that this year people will acknowledge and accept
the fact that there will be no pay raise.
Although the poor road (motorway) network is the major drawback of Poland,
other infrastructure is well prepared to support the fast and effective establishment
of SSCs and BPOs:
• Office space is easily available in all locations. The credit crunch is having a significant impact on
the real estate business – right now many owners of building have not only lowered the asking
rent in comparison to a few months ago, but are also willing to negotiate prices depending on
the amount of floor space rented and the rental period.
• Modern digital telecommunications infrastructure is available in all key locations.
• In recent years, Poland has enjoyed the highest growth of air traffic in Europe. As a result, all
the main locations have their own airports with convenient connections to key hubs in Europe.
• Although Poland has also been affected by the global economic crisis, the organization of EURO
2012 is a real driver for the further dynamic infrastructure development and improvement in the
coming years.
