Polish media giant Agora will cut up to 166 jobs across its group, representing around 6.5% of its workforce, as part of a planned restructuring.
The redundancies, which will take place between 20 January and 28 February 2026, will affect 60 staff at Wyborcza, 63 at Gazeta.pl, and 13 at Eurozet Consulting, covering operational support, sales, business support, and editorial roles.
The company confirmed that departing employees will receive statutory severance pay, with additional compensation based on tenure, and some may be offered modified working arrangements.
Support measures include extended medical benefits until the end of 2026, access to psychological assistance, and other initiatives aimed at easing the transition.
Restructuring will also impact Agora’s core operations, with up to 20 positions affected in business and operational support, and up to 10 across Agora’s radio group and Eurozet, under similar terms as the main layoffs.
The firm had previously announced the intention to restructure in December 2025.
The total estimated cost of the redundancies and restructuring for Q4 2025 is around 11.7 million złoty (€2,768,512.50), to be confirmed in Agora’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending 31 December 2025.
Agora is one of Poland’s largest media groups, encompassing nine radio stations - including Radio Zet, Radio Tok FM, Antyradio, and Radio Złote Przeboje - as well as Gazeta Wyborcza, Gazeta.pl, the Helios cinema chain, film company Next Film, advertising firm AMS, and publishing house Wydawnictwo Agora.
