Knowledge Base – HR

ESG implementation is becoming increasingly crucial for companies that want to be competitive and responsible towards society and the environment. However, in many organizations, the HR department is not included in work and activities related to sustainable development. Watch the webinar recording and learn why HR is an important partner in creating an ESG strategy.

It is estimated that by 2035 the number of people working in Poland will decrease by 2.1 million, which will account for 12.6 per cent of the current level of employment. These shortages are to be filled by, m.in for example, foreigners, of whom 1 million 191 thousand were registered for social insurance in ZUS at the end of October 2024. “We must realize that without the migration of workers, we will not be able to cope as a country, we will not be able to cope as entrepreneurs and we will not go further. On the other hand, foreigners are not the only element we have to focus on,” says Andżelika Majewska, Vice-President of LeasingTeam, in an interview for PulsHR.

Poles are able to manage their time effectively, they do not want to waste it on commuting to work and they value flexible solutions that allow them to achieve a work-life balance, according to research conducted by LeasingTeam Group. We still commute to work most often by car, but we are inclined to switch to more sustainable means of transport. What could convince us to do this and what solutions are companies introducing to attract employees?

Today, technological solutions are an inseparable partner of modern organizational cultures, because we want to release the potential of employees so that they can focus on creation, innovation, and strategic activities. Therefore, an important step is to reduce the burden of repetitive, tedious tasks that eat up time, affect engagement, and generate costs. This is especially important in the area of the so-called hard HR, i.e. HR and payroll.

Embarking on the path of sustainable development has long ceased to be solely the responsibility of the goodwill of management boards and business owners. This is a requirement of the modern market and a key element of business strategies. Do companies care about sustainable development?
