Polish Post for the professional activation of people with disabilities
Poczta Polska has concluded the second edition of the "Work – Integration" program, implemented in the second quarter of 2021 by the Activation Foundation with support from the State Fund for the Rehabilitation of Disabled Persons (PFRON). Employment of people with disabilities within the company's structures increased compared to last year and now represents 2.4% of all employees. In total, under the first and second editions of "Work – Integration," Poczta Polska employed nearly 650 people with disabilities.
Poczta Polska is the largest employer in the country. In line with its strategy, it systematically implements recruitment programs for people with disabilities, aiming to reduce barriers and equalize opportunities for these professional groups in the labor market. Thanks to these initiatives, by the end of April 2021, the employment rate for employees with disabilities had reached 2.4%.
During the second edition of the "Work – Integration" program, which ran from February 2020 to April 2021, Poczta Polska submitted job offers for various positions. In total, nearly 650 people with disabilities were employed at Poczta Polska in both editions of the program – the majority of whom were employed as postmen and customer service representatives. Poczta Polska remains open to hiring people with disabilities. They can apply for open positions advertised by the company.
Efforts to promote the professional development of people with disabilities demonstrate that Poczta Polska is a socially responsible company. In 2018, the company implemented a "Policy for the Employment of Persons with Disabilities," sending a clear message to the organization that employing people with disabilities is an important element of its HR policy. In 2020, Poczta Polska twice won the prestigious "Icebreakers" competition. It took first place at the regional level in the "Open Labor Market" category and second place in the "Open Labor Market" category at the competition's final gala.
Poczta Polska also continues its partnership with the Polish national team of amputee footballers, Amp Futbol. As part of this partnership, the Postal Operator not only provides financial support to the national team but also actively supports the players in their professional careers.
