Light on Verita HR’s Teams This All Saints’

As All Saints’ Day approaches in Poland, candles begin to glow in cemeteries across the country and the pace of life slows just a little. For many, it is a moment to pause, reflect and remember. For the Verita HR team, it is also a time to look inward and appreciate colleagues, customers and friends who make every working day possible.

People look for balance in our lives. Eight hours of work, eight hours of rest and eight hours to spend with those who matter most. In reality, that balance often shifts, and at Verita HR the team is what makes the company different and the team give far more than their eight hours. Verita HR stays with them even after the workday ends. They talk to their friends about Verita HR, offer support to teammates, or take that extra call because they genuinely care.

That care is what transforms a job into a purpose. It turns a group of professionals into a team that strives for something greater than results alone, a shared belief in what they are building together. Their dedication shapes Verita HR’s culture, and it deserves to be seen, appreciated and celebrated.

Gratitude Culture at Verita HR

At Verita HR dedication goes far beyond the job description. It shows in the steady focus of the people who stay composed under pressure, solve problems creatively and never lose their sense of humour, even when things become difficult. That touch of humour brings perspective and connection, reminding us that shared laughter often carries an organisation further than any meeting agenda. This commitment has been part of Verita HR since the beginning, as shown through the company’s founding values of generosity, gratitude and a focus on family. What makes this culture special is how it extends beyond the workplace. When people feel valued and supported, it changes how they approach every part of life. It builds confidence, balance and a sense of belonging.

Polish Workforce Resilience 2025

Poland’s workforce has always been defined by resilience, adaptability and a big heart. Over the last few years that strength has been tested like never before. Global uncertainty, economic shifts and digital transformation have reshaped industries and redefined what it means to work and be at the forefront of Europe.

Yet through it all, Polish professionals have shown an ability not just to endure but to excel. It is this mix of hard work, humour and genuine care that drives the country’s success story. It has helped Poland become a trillion-dollar economy and one of Europe’s most dynamic business environments.

The real strength of any company is found in its people. It is built on those who care, who show up with energy and belief, and who find purpose in what they do. That same spirit runs through Verita HR. It connects the team, drives them and reminds them that progress always begins with people.

Polish Tech Layoffs & Polish Humour

There is a reason why friendships formed at work often last long after people move on. People share both the best and the hardest moments together, the small wins that make a day feel worthwhile and the small setbacks that turn into stories we laugh about later. Polish humour has a special way of appearing exactly when it is needed most. It is practical, dry and often wonderfully honest, even turning tough news into a shared smile.

A recent discussion in the popular Facebook group “Problemy Polskiej Branży IT”, or the problems of the Polish tech industry in English, captured that spirit perfectly. The post listed a wave of global layoffs that had also reached global tech layoffs. Within minutes the comments turned from worry to wit.

One user wrote that perhaps it was time for people to return to “useful jobs” like farming or cleaning. Another replied that layoffs are not the end of the world, while someone else added that the tech industry in Poland is still hiring anyway.

What could have been a thread of frustration quickly became a thread of laughter. It showed something deeply Polish; the ability to meet difficult news with realism, irony and grace. That same mix of humour and resilience has long been part of Poland’s tech identity. As reflected across the Polish tech industry, the community’s quick wit often shines through even the toughest conversations.

Across the world, businesses have faced layoffs and change, and Poland has felt those pressures too. Yet through it all, there remains a sense of optimism that continues to define the country’s workforce. In the tech sector especially, people have stayed positive, laughed together and found reasons to keep moving forward. That humour does not ignore what is difficult. It softens it. It helps people stay creative, focused and proud of what they build. And it is part of the reason the so-called Polish miracle continues to thrive.

CEO Austin Birks on Company Values

As All Saints’ Day arrives, many people take a quiet moment to reflect before the busy season begins. It is a time to appreciate the people in the workplace. Soon the rush of the festive period will return with meetings to close, reports to finish and plans for the new year already forming. Amid all that activity lies an opportunity to pause and ask what truly matters.

At Verita HR the team believe the answer always comes back to the values. They guide the team through change and help them make decisions with purpose and integrity. As 2026 draws closer, it is these shared principles that can help an organisation face new challenges with confidence.

Austin Birks, Chief Executive Officer at Verita HR, explained how “the teams’ experiences shapes why we chose those key values. In Verita HR they really do matter, and they do lie at the very heart of our internal culture.

Austin believes that having the values at the heart of an organization “has worked and continues to do so.

“I wanted to thank everyone who has been part of the journey, both in the past, the present and indeed in the future,” he shared.

“I truly and genuinely believe that our values matter and generate success through times both tough and not so tough. It takes faith and commitment to stay true to the values that we believe in as a team.

“Gratefulness, a focus on family, and generosity are powerful values that I honestly believe generate success.”

All Saints’ Team Appreciation Toast

Before the holidays begin, it feels right to raise an imaginary glass and offer a very Polish toast. Perhaps not just with coffee or tea this time, but maybe with something a little stronger. To everyone who has gone the extra mile, lifted others when days were long and brought kindness and laughter to the workplace.

Poland continues to prove that resilience and optimism can coexist, that progress can be kind and that humour remains one of the most underrated business strategies out there.

As Austin reminds us, it is thanks to work the team does, the laughter the team shares and the culture they build. As Verita HR moves into the festive season and prepare for the challenges of 2026, the organisation carries one simple truth with it: people are what make success possible.
