Below you will find details of a recent case study, the information should also give you a good insight into the Polish People service and product model.
Polish People were asked by a client to quickly step in and provide managed quality temporary labour when their existing supplier let them down.
The client (Ilva) operates retail stores of 120,000 sq feet in Denmark and Sweden.
Ilva are a furniture store specializing in good quality furniture, well designed at prices, which provide excellent value for money.
Early this year they began there UK expansion plans, initially starting in Lakeside Thurrock, followed by Central Manchester and Gateshead Metrocentre.
We became involved in the “build “ phase at Thurrock.
Due to the local market being exceedingly difficult to recruit permanent staff the store fell behind in its “ build “ programme.
This situation was compounded by serious delays to the building being handed over.
This site was struggling to meet its production targets to get the store ready for opening, and the normal local sources for temporary personnel could not find, and retain, the numbers of motivated people necessary to meet the production levels.
This was causing the client major problems at its own retail stores and to its own end clients.
The client asked us to quickly come and make an evaluation of the operation in at Thurrock, and for Polish People to propose how they could help with the personnel difficulties.
We took an instruction from the client as to what was critical to the business; relevant work experience, English language skills, Priorities, motivation etc.
Based on the information received, we made a proposal to the client, in the form of an hourly charge rate, which included;
Polish People recruiting the required numbers of personnel and agreeing start dates.
Polish People to deploy their rapid reaction workforce.
We arranged all housing and transport (to and from the workplace)
Polish People making all the necessary legal deductions for tax and national insurance.
We ensured that all its personnel have applied for and completed all the required work permit applications.
Polish People provided team leaders and a dedicated Operations Liaison Manager.
Polish People providing account management when required, and welfare support on a 24-hour basis for our personnel.
