How Foreign Workers Can Enhance Employment Flexibility and Employer Brand Despite Changing Business Needs

Foreign Workers – How Can They Help?

As a staffing agency, Gremi Personal can confidently call itself a specialist in the labor market — and in one very specific area: foreign workers. We have been successfully operating for 16 years, but that is not the most important thing. If a company is defined by its most recent months, we are proud to say that in 2023 we employed 28,000 people from 30 different countries, serving 600 logistics and manufacturing companies in Poland. Why did these companies choose our services? Because they knew that through foreign workers we could offer them support, increased flexibility, and a positive impact on their entire brand — despite the variability and difficulties encountered in the Polish market. In what situations can employers benefit from our services? Below are a few examples showing the scope of our capabilities and expertise:

Difficulties in Recruiting Workers

The Polish labor market suffers from a shortage of workers. That is why, in their search for staff, entrepreneurs increasingly turn to hiring foreign nationals. However, this comes with numerous requirements. Foreign workers need permits, worry about the relocation and accommodation process, and fear the language barrier. That is precisely why employers so often choose our recruitment mediation services — we have mastered the recruitment and relocation process to perfection. We know the legal requirements, understand cultural differences, and provide comprehensive support to those arriving from abroad through our coordinators. In short — we solve all problems for both the employer and the employee.

Cost Optimization Through Temporary Employment

For many companies operating in Poland, employment costs make up the largest share of the budget. On the other hand, a labor market lacking manual workers forces businesses to offer competitive wages. In this situation, we come in with a temporary employment solution, which is often based on foreign workers — from Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, and other countries, including Asia and South America. This solution allows employers to optimize employment costs in a way that also keeps workers satisfied. Our temporary employment service is billed in a simple, transparent manner — usually a single invoice per month is sufficient. The employer receives a fixed, predetermined number of people who carry out the agreed-upon tasks. Workers employed through Gremi Personal receive not only a base salary that is attractive compared to the market average, but also a full bonus package — bonuses, a loyalty program, and subsidies for accommodation and healthcare. All of this makes the terms of cooperation beneficial for all parties.

The Role of Foreign Workers in Managing Seasonality Across Industries

Temporary employment works excellently in industries that experience significant fluctuations in staffing needs depending on the season. Maintaining a large workforce throughout the year is not cost-effective, which is why it is better to partner with Gremi Personal and use the services of exactly as many people as are needed in any given month. We can leverage the fact that we serve many clients — so when our workers finish at one company, we can easily find them work at another that is experiencing a staff shortage.

Process Outsourcing

When a business grows so well that managing a warehouse starts generating more and more problems, process outsourcing is the best solution. This service we offer means that Gremi Personal takes over full responsibility for the warehouse's operations. As part of this arrangement, we handle not only providing the right number of workers, but also order fulfillment, packing and shipping, as well as returns and complaints. We use the equipment, space, and IT systems of our clients, so using the service requires no additional costs, investments, preparations, or outlay. In return, it allows better control over warehouse operating costs and eliminates many cumbersome formalities, difficult recruitment processes, and the challenge of finding workers. It also translates into simple accounting — process outsourcing means one fixed cost.

When Generation Z Likes to Change Jobs Frequently

A report by Pracuj.pl, "The Specialist Labor Market. Recruitment in the Face of Economic Challenges," shows that Generation Z (the youngest workers on the market) outpaces all other generations in terms of professional mobility. 56% of respondents in this group declare that they are looking for or planning to change jobs. It appears that "Gen Z" workers are constantly checking whether they can find better working conditions elsewhere. Considering that young people dominate the logistics sector (according to research by the Gremi Personal Analytics Centre included in the report "A Breakthrough Year", almost 72% of people employed through Gremi Personal working in logistics were in the 18–29 age bracket), temporary employment or the aforementioned process outsourcing can be an excellent solution for companies in the TSL sector, as these solutions free employers from the problem of staff turnover. We take care of all HR matters.
