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.
