The primary goal of the Forum is to reach out to the vast middle market of Indian BPO companies who know that to compete on the global stage they need to have a European footprint. By providing insight into the Polish BPO market and the opportunity to talk to leaders in the Polish BPO space we aim to show them that Poland is the best place for them to grow.
To make the point the organizers have gathered a formidable team of partners, including ASPIRE, Poland's largest and fastest growing outsourcing association and PwC, the leader in advisory services to the outsourcing industry in CEE, as well as companies providing support services to the BPO sector, which was awarded the "Best Professional Advisory Firm in Shared Services" title during the Poland Outsourcing Awards Gala.

The Forum is supported by the Minister of Economy of Poland - Janusz Piechocinski, the Polish Chamber of Commerce, Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency, the Ambassador of India in Poland, NASSCOM and  the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

ANALYSES AND REPORTS




The percentage of Polish entrepreneurs who plan to increase the employment is still higher then of those expecting reductions. The majority of companies expects no change in the level of employment.
Of the 750 Polish employers surveyed 14 percent expect to add to their workforces in the coming quarter, 11 percent plan reductions and 71 percent expect no change in payrolls in the January-March time frame.
The strongest optimism for 1st quarter of 2012 is reported by employers from the Transport, Storage & Communication and Finance & Business Services industry sectors. Job seekers in the Construction (+8%) industry sector may also expect some offers in the quarter ahead; the Outlook declines slightly from previous quarter, but improves from Q1 2011 by 8 percentage points, suggesting employers may be moderately more confident in their ability to justify adding to their payrolls compared to last winter season.
Regional Outlooks are modest and indicate the first-quarter hiring pace will slow. Positive hiring intentions are reported in five of the six regions. The strongest regional Outlook is reported in the South region (+7%). (Manpower Group)


According to HSBC Global Research Poland offers the cheapest equities in the CEE.
The authors of HSBC report “Mispriced. CEEMEA equity projections” find Polish valuations among the cheapest on emerging markets what bears testimony to its attractiveness and great investment opportunities compared to the rest of Europe.
Furthermore, the HSBC’s experts note relatively good macroeconomic data: remarkably steady growth, inflation and interest rates under control.
Valuations are attractive by historical standards, and both domestic and foreign liquidity could provide support.
In 2011 EPS (Earning per Share) growth is 27,7%, while the forecasts for EMEA is 20,5%, and for emerging markets 10,4%.
- Our key overweights are Russia, Turkey and Poland - the HSBC’s analysts report - we are reducing Hungary to neutral. Czech and Egypt stay neutral. (HSBC)

Resume Revolution!
Thursday, 1/12/12 
Tuesday night, 1/17/12 


When there are job shortages, there are plenty of candidates who meet the basic 
employer needs - so it takes more than skills to win. 

The candidates who win jobs have 2 things in common: 

1) They have better information than their competitors 
2) They understand the employers' hiring processes (both formal and informal) 
   better than their competitors 

Why let others beat you in the job market, when you can learn how to get your resume seen more often, get more interviews, and beat the job market in 2012?

Investments in Poland - investments in success


The inflow of the foreign direct investments (FDI) reflects the economic situation in the world. It rises in the times of economic prosperity and falls in the time of crisis. But even in the time of global economic slowdown Poland maintained the leading position in terms of investment attractiveness.
In the years 2007-2010 the inflow of foreign direct investments to Poland was in all these years positive. Despite the global crisis, Poland remained one of the most attractive investment locations and according to UNCTAD it has improved its position among the largest EU countries receiving FDI: from the 11th position in 2007 rising to 8th in 2010.
In term of the FDI inflow structure in the years 2007-2010, only in 2008 reinvested profits were negative. As a result of the economic crisis foreign companies did not reinvest their profits in the business in Poland but they allocated the savings in the parent companies operating in the markets more affected by the crisis. In 2009 the situation has returned to the state before the economic turmoil - reinvested profits accounted to 42% of the total inflow (40% in 2007). Recently the National Bank of Poland (NBP) again pointed to the trend of transferring profits earned by investors abroad.

During a conference at PAIiIZ Poland's Deputy Prime Minister Mr Pawlak, PAIiIZ President Mr Majman, President of Pilkington Automotive Poland Mr Jania and President of Indesit Poland Mr Melone discussed the current condition of investments in Poland

Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency, however, has not noted fall in investment project. In the first ten months of 2011 the Agency closed already 45 investments worth over 1 billion euros, which will create almost 9 thousand new jobs. The value of the new projects already exceeds the result achieved throughout the whole 2010. In the last 3 years 131 foreign companies supported by PAIiIZ opted for investments worth a total of 2.6 billion euros and employed over 28 thousand people. Among the investors, the Americans, Swedes and French were dominating. The most popular sector was the BPO and R&D, automotive and machinery. 24,5% of the investment value closed by PAIiIZ went to the Lower Silesia voivodeship, 14,5% to Mazovia and 10% to the Wielkopolska region. Over 1/3 of all the investors located their investments in the special economic zones.
PAIiIZ’s participation in the investment project in Poland in the years 2009-2011 was 14%. The Agency supported companies such as: Cargotec, Ikea, Pilkington, Goodrich, MTU, Indesit, 3M, Cadbury, ABN Amro, Nordea, HP and Geoban.
Currently the Agency services 150 investment projects with a total value of 5,9 billion euros which declare over 45 800 new jobs. The dominated investors come from the USA, Great Britain and China and from the BPO, automotive and machinery sector.
UNCTAD predicts that FDI inflow in the world will return to the pre-crisis level in 2011. Meanwhile, the investors are looking for locations burdened with the lowest risk. In the forefront of these countries is Poland. In the latest UNCTAD report Poland took 6th place in the world in terms of investment attractiveness. (PAIiIZ)

Japanese investment in Katowice - Yamazaki Mazak Technology Centre

Japanese investment in Katowice- Yamazaki Mazak Technology Centre

Yamazaki Mazak, the world's largest producer of machine tools for metal cutting, constructs a technology centre in Katowice.
In 2004 at the beginning of its operations in Poland Yamazaki Mazak chose Katowice due to the location of major Polish industry units, good communication context of the city and the access to highly skilled engineering staff. Today the Poland-based section of the company employs 21 people in the departments of trade, technology and service.
The new Technology Centre, which Yamazaki Mazak Corporation also decided to locate in Katowice, will become not only the distribution and service centre for machine tools, but above all a place where the company’s latest technologies in metalworking will be implemented as well as a place where Polish specialists will get professional training. The Centre's activities will focus on technical and technological support for users of machine tools produced by Yamazaki Mazak and on the organization of training courses for their buyers and users. - We really wanted to attract thet Yamazaki Mazak here because it is a company active in high-tech industry. We also hope that this project will encourage other Japanese companies to invest in Katowice - says Piotr Uszok, President of Katowice.

Yamazaki Mazak Technology Centre

The new building will consist of two-storey office section area of about 400m2 and a space prepared for the organization of exhibitions (of about 500m2). Japanese firm Takenaka Europe is the general constructor of the building. In fact, the company carries out almost all building projects run by Japanese investors in Europe. Yet the company’s subcontractors are local construction companies from Silesia. The Construction Technology Centre was launched on March 1st, 2011 but the new building will be ready in December 2011. The project was actively supported by the Polish Information and Foreign Investment Agency (PAIiIZ).
Yamazaki Mazak was founded in 1919 in the Japanese city of Nagoya. The Japanese manufacturer of weaving machines was developing relatively quickly and started producing machines for the processing of wood and metal. In the 1960s Yamazaki Mazak entered the international arena, starting to export its products to the U.S. Yamazaki Mazak Corporation, currently in its nine manufacturing facilities (located in Japan, Singapore, China, USA and UK), employs approximately 7,000 employees, of which about 900 in Europe. Yamazaki Mazak is the official supplier to Formula 1 Team Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, supplying machine tools, on which this team’s cars are produced. (UM Katowice).
