4 April - Provident Polska, one of Poland's leading providers of home credit and part of the International Personal Finance (IPF) group, is delighted to announce that it has been named as one of the country's leading employers for the fourth year in a row. Provident is one of a prestigious group of just 39 employers awarded the title in 2016, including Orange, T-Mobile and ING, and was presented with the accolade by the Top Employers institute at a recent ceremony in Warsaw.

Assessing companies across nine separate areas - including talent development, training, HR policies, culture and remuneration - the Top Employers Institute recognises companies striving to reach the highest workplace standards. The award underlines Provident's on-going commitment to providing a friendly, supportive and progressive working environment and an open corporate culture.

'We are very proud to be named amongst the best Polish employers for the fourth time,' said David Parkinson, Country Manager of IPF's Polish business, Provident Polska. 'This award reiterates our leading market position and demonstrates that our long-term HR strategy is providing all our employees with the best possible support and opportunities for career and personal development.'

Provident Polska is a leading provider of home credit in Poland. Over 2,000 employees and more than 8,000 agents provide loans responsibly to people who want to borrow small sums and repay in manageable, affordable amounts. At the end of 2015 the Polish-Lithuanian business had 832,000 customers.
