AMS, a global total workforce solutions provider is celebrating six years of\u00a0its\u00a0operations in the Tricity. The company employs over 300 employees and plans further growth of its Gda\u0144sk office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been six years since AMS made the Tricity its second Polish headquarters. It started small, with a team of ten in a small, temporary office at the Alchemia Business Center, but grew fast to\u00a0become a 300 people team servicing more than 20 global clients.<\/p>\n

– We are very happy that we played a small part in the success of AMS in Gda\u0144sk. <\/i>– says Marcin Grzegory, Deputy Director of Invest in Pomerania.<\/strong> \u2013 When Jolanta Gantkowska, the Managing Director of AMS in\u00a0Poland, came to us for help 6 years ago, she was only considering Gda\u0144sk as a potential new office location. We could see that AMS and the Tricity were a perfect match and we are glad that we were able to convince them. As the last 6 years have shown, we\u00a0were right.<\/i><\/p>\n

AMS employees represent 50 nationalities and come from diverse backgrounds. Leaders of the company consider this high ethnic diversity an advantage. AMS recognises the value of combining different perspectives and experiences in order to prompt innovation and solve problems. Diversity and inclusion are core values of the company.<\/p>\n

– Diversity has always been a part of AMS DNA, that\u2019s why we find Tricity, especially Gda\u0144sk, with its long history as a multicultural city and policy of openness and tolerance, a perfect place for us. We want to build a business culture of equity and inclusion. We established Employee Resource Groups and global Diversity and Inclusion Boards to ensure that we realise those goals. In fact, we were on this path long before D&I\u00a0became such a hot topic. Similarly, work flexibility <\/i>\u2013 a very trendy topic of the previous year, has been an integral element of our business culture for a long time – <\/i>says Pawe\u0142 Hajduk, Head of AMS Gda\u0144sk Centre<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In addition to two comfortable floors of the Alchemia complex with all the advantages of a modern office, AMS offers its employees the possibility of partial or entirely remote work. Shortly after opening the Tricity branch, AMS had a chance to test its remote work capability when the Krak\u00f3w office was closed due\u00a0to\u00a0World Youth Days and over 300 employees were brought to Gda\u0144sk.<\/p>\n

– To accommodate everyone, most of the Gda\u0144sk team had to work from home as well. The\u00a0experiment was a big success, so big that several colleagues decided to move to the Tricity permanently! <\/i>– says Pawe\u0142 Hajduk. This experience proved very useful considering the latest changes caused by the pandemic. The\u00a0transition to remote work mode that many companies struggled with, was much easier for AMS as\u00a0most of the employees have been accustomed to this mode of operation.<\/p>\n

2020 was a tough year for the BSS sector, including AMS, but after the company responded to\u00a0the\u00a0challenges faced by their clients, they were pleased to see strong business growth, with new projects\u00a0and\u00a0a\u00a0focus on hiring new employees to strengthen its team. The Tricity plays a key role in AMS’s ambitious plans for the future<\/strong> as it\u2019s meant to become the\u00a0 AMS services \u201cshowroom\u201d.<\/p>\n

By the end of 2021, AMS Tricity plans to employ 50-100 people.\u00a0 Open positions vary from entry level roles, requiring only\u00a0 good command of the language that include a full training, to the more specialised positions of recruiters, business intelligence specialists, analysts, and full stack developers.<\/p>\n
