Report: uncertainty is growing in Polish job market
15:15
Rising technological pressure and economic uncertainty are reshaping Polish employees’ career decisions, according to Michael Page’s “Talent Trends 2025” report. Active job seeking dropped by 14 percentage points y/y, and fewer workers are requesting raises, with only 19% receiving approval. Despite a 5.2% unemployment rate, employees feel insecure and increasingly value flexibility—40% would change jobs if office attendance requirements increased. Rapid workplace changes driven by AI adoption (47% of workers) intensify this shift.
Trust and transparency are critical: 77% fear employer monitoring, and many cite insufficient clarity in decision-making and communication. Companies that build reliable, transparent environments can foster engagement, retain talent, and remain resilient in a volatile labor market.
