EVENT DETAILS

Following an engaging discussion at the recent American Chamber of Commerce in Poland event hosted by the PepsiCo Kraków Capability Center on how Gen Z views workplace bullying, we had the opportunity to take the conversation further in Wrocław.

During an in-depth session at Align Technology’s impressive head office, we explored the legal and practical challenges HR professionals and leaders face in managing workplace dynamics across generations.

Karolina Kanclerz and Oskar Kwiatkowski, leading employment law experts from PCS Paruch Chruściel Schiffter Stępień Kanclerz, shared valuable insights from their legal practice and real court cases. The discussion covered:

🔹 How younger employees define and report workplace bullying.

🔹 How courts are responding to shifting generational expectations.

🔹 Misuse of reporting systems—and legal best practices for managing them.

🔹 Upcoming legislative changes (as of the May 30 draft).

One highlight of the event was hearing from Align’s management team, who spoke with genuine appreciation about the impact Gen Z employees are making across the organization. They emphasized how this generation is helping to shape an open, inclusive, and forward-thinking workplace culture. From leading employee-driven initiatives to strengthening cross-functional collaboration, Gen Z team members bring a level of energy, innovation, and purpose that continues to inspire and elevate the entire company.

Thank you to Karolina Komejko Alicja Kalinowska Wioletta Szozda and entire Align Technology Team for hosting us in their stunning Wrocław HQ. The visit to the nearby manufacturing site – equally powered by passionate young professionals – was a perfect close to a day of dialogue, insight, and optimism for the future of work.
