The University of Silesia in Katowice placed second among universities and—which deserves additional recognition—second among companies based in Silesia, in addition to taking 18th place (TOP20) among all 300 Polish companies included in the Forbes Best Employers 2025 Ranking.
The basis for preparing the ranking was the Report from the Poland’s Best Employers 2025 study covering several hundred employers (companies) from over 25 industries, employing at least 250 people, established on the basis of anonymous survey research.
The ranking assessed the qualitative results of the people management strategies adopted and implemented by companies. Attention was paid to such aspects as: flexibility and greater autonomy of employees, taking into account demands related to the protection of mental health, meeting expectations regarding working conditions (in particular meeting the expectations of employees with little seniority), digitisation of the workplace (including the use of modern tools), taking care of career development and opportunities to obtain advanced skills.
