Firm paying staff not to leave Poland

Firm paying staff not to leave Poland


A PRINT management company is offering incentives to Polish employees at its Warsaw operations to retain their skills in Poland and stop them migrating to Britain.
DSR Print Management Ltd, based in Northampton, says it is so delighted with the quality of workmanship and the value for money at its DSR Polska operation it doesn't want employees to leave to look for jobs in other countries.Managing director Mike Naylor said: "We are doing the opposite of most foreign companies with operations in Poland and are paying our staff a premium rate. We set up our operations in Poland three years ago and have an established list of clients which is growing all the time."The Polish staff are exceptionally hard-working with a very high standard of expertise and they deliver fantastic value for money."We want to ensure they are well rewarded in their home country and don't want to join the exodus of Poles who are leaving to look for new opportunities in Europe and the rest of the world."DSR provides print services to a wide range of the most respected and globally recognised brands and has a turnover of more that £45 million a year.DSR Polska's products are playing a key role in the burgeoning Polish consumer market. Other work produced in Warsaw comes to Britain
for the rapidly expanding Polish market here.Mike Naylor said: "Our three main hubs in Continental Europe are in Warsaw, Brussels and Avignon. These provide local support and help us to co-ordinate a close network in more than 20 countries."Our European operations continue to grow, with offices currently being set up in Madrid, Paris, Salzburg and Dubai."There are also talks under way with operations in America."Our overseas operations are a mirror of our operation in the UK and maintain our unrivalled industry-leading standards. It is essential we have the highest quality staff to uphold our ability to give clients our superior levels of service."Our European operations are not simply telephone numbers that divert to a UK hub."The Polish staff rapidly proved their worth and we want to keep them where they are – without running the risk of seeing them dispersed."
