HERBAPOL POZNAŃ

After hours

Our employees are, first of all, great people, who undertake various initiatives together. We like to spend time together, not only at the company team building events, but also after hours. Our football team, for instance, not only keenly practices and looks after the health of its members, but also supports those fighting for their health. Herbapol Poznań football players have already participated in a charity football tournament supporting the “Rak Off” (Cancer Off) Foundation. Furthermore, each year our employees are involved in the “Szlachetna Paczka” action, helping families requiring assistance. We believe that nothing is impossible for us, and good relations are a foundation for the creation of a good place of work.
