Sii, residing in Olivia Business Centre, has been awarded as the best place to work for the sixth time. The triumph of the IT giant completes the Legend status granted for the first time.
The development of Sii Poland in Olivia Business Centre is a story of inspiring success. A leading provider of IT, engineering, digital and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) services in Poland, it started its operations in Pomerania in 2010 in a 400 m2 office. The dynamics and effectiveness of operations based on care for employees resulted in the fact that within 10 years the company has grown within the largest business center in Pomerania and today the Tri-City branch has almost 1,000 employees, and the office occupies an area of over 10,000 square meters on the top floors of the Olivia Prime building.
This year’s success of Sii is proof of the company’s effective HR policy. For the first time, the Great Place to Work title went to Sii Poland in 2015, when the company employed 2,000 people. This year, the organization won it for the 6th time in a row, gaining the recognition of the team, whose number has been growing steadily in recent years – today the number of Sii experts has exceeded 4,500.
– The Great Place to Work title is one of the most important awards for us, because it shows in a transparent way what our employees think about Sii Poland as an employer. We can all feel very proud, because with such a fast growth rate, the atmosphere and team spirit remain great – says Gregoire Nitot, founder and CEO of Sii Poland.
The awards and the status of the Legend have become synonymous with a stable and friendly workplace in the opinion of the public, whose office is still a sensation and still has no equivalent in Poland. There are 9 private loggias at the disposal of the employees, willingly used to work on a deckchair on warm days. An alternative is the 2 large private terraces overlooking the sea, the first of which is for lounging and the second located next to the main dining room is a great place for lunch. The response to the expectations of employees is the décor inspired by biophilic design, which is complemented by slides and climbing walls between floors. In 2019, the design of the space by the Design Anatomy studio from Olivia Business Centre won an award in the Office Star competition, winning in the category “The best recreational space in Poland” and a distinction for the “Best Office in the Tri-City”.
– Winning the title for the 6th time in a row is a source of pride for all our Power People! We are all the ones who create our company together, carry out our mission, achieve our goals and act on a daily basis according to our key 14 values. This award is a confirmation that this is the case! On the other hand, it is also a responsibility and a commitment to further efforts and improvement of specific areas. But today, above all, we celebrate, albeit online and remotely, with joy and pride in our hearts – says Joanna Kucharska, CHRO at Sii Poland.
This year’s results of the Great Place to Work survey show that the actions taken by Sii Poland in previous years, such as the launch of the Passion Sponsorship Program, focusing on the charity activities of Sii Power Volunteers, or the Job Changer application, which allows you to change your career path, are now indicated by employees as the best initiatives of the past year. A key element of the Best Employer of the Year survey are employee opinions, which account for 2/3 of the total score taking into account 5 dimensions: credibility, respect, honesty, pride and camaraderie. This year’s high results allowed the company to repeat the success from previous years, as as many as 89% of Sii Poland employees declared that their company is a great place to work – thus improving the result from last year by 2%.
In 2019, Sii received the CBRE Office Superstar statuette for the best recreational space in Poland and a distinction for the best office in the Tri-City. Read the article: ” Design Anatomy’s success in the Office Superstar competition”
