Labour law and HR Training in organisations – 2 benefits in 1 action: Key insights from the Pracodawca PRO webinar

On 12 June 2025, another Pracodawca PRO webinar was held. Paula Staszak-Urbańska interviewed Karolina Barałkiewicz-Sokal and Edyta Jagodzińska-Pawluk on the role of trainings in team development and meeting ESG standards. Below we present the key takeaways from that discussion.

1. Training as a driver of organisational development

• Well-designed trainings boost employee competencies and foster a modern organisational culture.

• Development programmes translate into higher engagement, improved integration and reduced staff turnover.

2. Training as a tool for ESG strategy

• Training supports achieving ESG goals – especially in the areas of diversity, equality and social responsibility.

• Such activities can be documented to fulfil ESG reporting obligations.

3. Preventing discrimination and ensuring legal compliance

• Anti-discrimination trainings enable organisations to create workplaces compliant with Polish and EU law and ensure the legally secure fulfilment of employer and employee obligations.

• Regular education minimises legal risks and negative incidents.

4. Challenges and best practices

• Common challenges: selecting relevant topics, genuine participant engagement and finding skilled training partners.

• It is worthwhile to analyse team needs and to develop training in cooperation with management.

5. Recommendations for employers

• Link training goals with the company’s strategic and social objectives, ensuring clear communication.

• Treat team development as a continuous process that is worth investing in for the long-term.

Redispatching of renewable energy sources in Poland – between system security and the rights of generators

Non-market redispatching of energy from renewable sources has become one of the key challenges facing the Polish energy sector, reducing the profitability of investments and generating measurable losses for generators. This phenomenon – relatively new and associated with the dynamic growth of installed capacity – has prompted the President of the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) to support efforts to regulate the principles governing its application to ensure a level playing field, whilst simultaneously requiring the modernisation and digitalisation of the grid for improved energy flow management.
