Polish companies have spent years operating in an environment shaped by economic volatility, regulatory change, labour shortages, geopolitical risks and repeated disruptions to supply chains.

A record 1.13 million foreign nationals were working in Poland at the end of February 2026, around 75,000 more than a year earlier. Foreign labour is becoming an increasingly important part of the country’s workforce, particularly in manufacturing, logistics, construction and business support services. Ukrainian nationals remain by far the largest group, accounting for nearly 68% of all foreign workers.
