THE IDEA OF FLEXICURITY IN THE CONTEXT OF THE WORK-LIFE BALANCE DIRECTIVE ON THE CASE OF POLAND.

The concept of flexicurity is gaining popularity in Europe, combining elements of employment flexibility with social security. As western countries experience show, some elements of flexicurity, such as flexible forms of employment, make it possible to improve a company's human resources management, having a positive impact on a company's development and competitiveness, especially in times of economic stagnation. When implementing flexicurity solutions, both at national and company level, it is necessary to adapt these solutions to the needs of employers and employees. The paper is related to the impact of flexicurity on the labour market. The main objective of the manuscript is to summarise the general assumptions and elements of flexicurity and its strengths and weaknesses. The paper also presents selected flexible forms of work organisation, on the example of legal regulations based on the Polish Labour Law. Among the research methods, desk research and the analysis of documents such as EU directives and the Labour Law were mainly used. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
