The Polenergia Group consists of more than eight hundred employees for whom we are systematically building a friendly workplace. We want our team members to have the opportunity of self-realization, to be able to raise their skills and find the right balance between personal and professional life.
The Polenergia team has been growing dynamically. We strive to have representatives of different age groups and genders at different levels of employees. We offer our employees stable employment, opportunities for development through a variety of training courses, solutions that make it easier to combine personal and professional life, and benefits – tailored to the needs and changing conditions. We have two-way communication with Polenergia employees – each employee has the opportunity to participate in a satisfaction survey as well as a periodic interview.

The employees are covered by transparent rules governing their compensation and fringe benefits, which takes into account the individual contribution of each employee as well as the performance of his or her team. The rules are set forth in the internal Work Regulations, the Employee Compensation Regulations, and the Annual Performance Assessment System. The Group employees are assessed by their superiors on an annual basis; as part of this assessment, the achievement of their personal objectives set a year earlier is reviewed and the results of such a review translate into annual bonuses. Employee interviews are held regularly; those are at least two interviews: one to summarize the fulfillment of annual objectives, during which employees together with their supervisors prepare objectives for the next year, and an Employee development meeting, which is independent of the annual evaluation.
