Greenfield in Poland – HR Support for New Manufacturing Investments
From workforce planning and executive and specialist recruitment to setting up HR processes and managing payroll administration.
Greenfield in Poland with HRK
A new manufacturing facility? A new team? There are many decisions that need to be made early.
Opening a manufacturing facility in a new country involves more than investing in infrastructure and technology. It also requires building a local team that will prepare the organization for the start of production and support its future growth.
Workforce availability, competition for skilled professionals, salary expectations, and knowledge of local regulations can directly affect the investment timeline and operating costs.
At HRK, we help investors prepare for these challenges. We bring together experts from different areas of HR, tailoring our support to the stage of the investment, the facility’s location, and the planned scale of recruitment.
How can we help?
- Understand the local talent market – assess recruitment opportunities for specific roles and identify potential challenges.
- Build the management team – recruit leaders who will prepare the organization for the launch of the manufacturing facility.
- Recruit key specialists – engineers, technologists, quality experts, maintenance professionals, and supply chain specialists.
- Assess candidate competencies – reduce the risk of poor hiring decisions.
- Set up HR processes – establish HR administration, payroll management, and employee documentation processes.
- Support the facility’s continued growth – develop management capabilities and adapt HR solutions as the organization expands.
