Warbud has received one of the most valued distinctions in the area of Human Resources and employer branding. The jury of the Friendly Workplace Award honoured our company for among others creating a diverse work environment, paying exceptional attention to the professional development of employees and for its concern for occupational safety.
The editors of the internet portal MarkaPracowcy.pl awarded their special distinctions for the seventh time. The winners are the companies which have a modern approach to personnel policy and employee development. This year, Warbud has also found its place among the winners.
The review committee appreciated in particular Warbud’s work safety policy, taking care of the needs of employees interested in pursuing their passions, supporting their rest and recreation, as well as caring for employees' health. The high activity of the company and its employees in the field of professional education of young generations, as well as the involvement in numerous charity initiatives also gained recognition.
Towarzystwo Przyjaciół Dzieci (Childrens’ Friends Association) which has been working for the welfare of children for over 100 years, honoured the Warbud Foundation Warto Pomagać with a distinction for helping the Association in the renovation of a specialized center for people with disabilities in Olszanka in Puszcza Mariańska commune.
On 26 April 2024, the Masovian Branch of TPD officially opened the renovated facility which will provide day care for 25 people and can accommodate 14 people in a hostel. The facility also has a rehabilitation and physiotherapy room. The hostel facilities may serve as respite support for families raising disabled children. This means that people with disabilities can stay here and will be provided with professional care when their parents are temporarily unable to care for them due to random events or other reasons. The picturesque location of Olszanka in the buffer zone of the Bolimów Landscape Park on the Korabiewka River makes one’s stay at the centre a time beautifully spent. This location is also conducive to organizing rehabilitation stays.
We are glad that thanks to the support of the Warbud Foundation, such a unique place has been created for the social and professional rehabilitation of people with disabilities and their loved ones.
On May 25, 2023, the Foundation Dajemy Dzieciom Siłę (We Give Strength to Children) celebrated its 32nd anniversary. The event was an opportunity to summarize the activities of the association and to meet the people for whom and with whom the Foundation cooperates - representatives of companies and organizations, among which there were representatives Warbud’s Foundation - Warto Pomagać.
‘We thank you very much for this distinction. It is an honour for us to be able to cooperate with the Foundation Dajemy Dzieciom Siłę. The motto that has been guiding the Warbud Foundation for 15 years - 'It's worth helping', should actually read in the context of your activities as 'You have to help'. This is because all the projects you undertake in order to save traumatized children experiencing physical and psychological violence are valuable, wise and, as you can see from the recent media reports - still so much needed. I wish all DDDS employees and volunteers much perseverance, strength and energy, and so that in the future you will be able to implement projects which will educate people how to raise children in love and respect,’ said Agnieszka Wąsowska, Member of Warbud Foundation’s Management Board, receiving the award from Monika Sajkowska, President of FDDS.
According to the "List of 300 Best Polish Employers" published by Forbes, Warbud was ranked 75th in the general classification ahead of many well-known and respected brands. In the "Construction" category (including general contractors and producers of building materials), Warbud took 4th place. Considering only general contractors - the company was ranked 3rd, right after Budimex and Unibep.
The question "Who is the best employer in Poland?" was sent to over 10,000 professionally active employees who issued 160 thousand individual assessments. In an anonymous survey, they assessed their employers which allowed the assessors to examine the actual quality of the jobs offered and not the employer branding campaigns carried out. Companies were not able to influence the ratings obtained in the ranking. It was also not possible to declare participation by ordering a paid audit service. This guaranteed complete independence of the survey results.
