The GoPolska Team
Cross-cultural communication experts and onboarding specialists for international staff in Poland
Catherine Vellinga
Catherine has spent years teaching and managing educational projects across Canada, Mexico, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. She knows first-hand what a foreign employee really needs in their first weeks β and designs programs that address exactly that moment.
She specialises in structured onboarding pathways and multilingual training materials, supporting both employees and their families β because a stable home life is the foundation of workplace performance.
Tomasz Szumski
Tomasz is Polish and has lived and worked in Canada, the Middle East, and across Europe. That dual perspective β a deep knowledge of his own culture combined with the personal experience of being a foreigner β makes him an exceptionally credible voice in the training room.
He explains Polish workplace culture from the inside: the hierarchy, the unwritten expectations, the communication style. He pairs this with a technical background in AI and digital training tools deployed in factories and offices across Poland.
