At the end of January, the Day of Employment Services was festively celebrated in Gdańsk. The history of labour offices in Poland already goes back 98 years. The tradition of institutions, which statutorily deal with vocational counselling dates back to 1919, when Marshal Piłsudski signed a decree on the organisation of public labour offices and care for emigrants.
This year, the Day of Employment Services was celebrated in the Gdańsk Shakespeare Theatre. An occasional conference held on the 26 January was honoured by the presence of, among others, the representatives of self-government authorities, organisations of employers and the employees of the Labour Office in Gdańsk (GUP).
The distinction in the
2016 Best Partner of GUP
category was granted to Olivia Business Centre. Maciej Grabski, CEO of OBC, received the award from the president Andrzej Bojanowski.

Roland Budnik, the director of the Labour Office in Gdańsk, summarised the past year and paid a special attention to two projects launched in cooperation with Olivia Business Centre – The Talent Development Centre and Job Office.
– The past twelve months were the time of a really intensive work. Launching the Talent Development Centre, Recruitment Department for Foreign Workers and Gdański Urząd Pracy – Job Office are just three examples of undertakings which we managed to fulfil together. Special attention should also be drawn to our activity in the scope of professional activation. We have obtained one of the highest employment and cost effectiveness in our country, for which I would like to thank my employees, as well as our long-term partners – Employers of Pomerania, authorities of Gdańsk and Gdańsk County – said Roland Budnik, the director of the Labour Office in Gdańsk during the ceremony.
