Офіційно! В Польщі ВЖЕ шалений дефіцит! Для українців ШАНС! Новий закон почав дію з 5.11.2026.

Summary

Sasha Matviyev discusses Poland’s projected labor shortages for 2027 and recent Labor Code changes concerning workplace mobbing. The practical message for Ukrainian workers is to target occupations with strong demand and to document and report workplace harassment promptly.

Labor-market outlook and job opportunities

The presenter describes the “Barometer of Occupations” as a forecast of labor supply and demand in Poland. He reports a projected shortage in 14 occupations and a balance between supply and demand in 154 occupations. These shortages are national averages; demand can vary considerably by city, county, or municipality.

Occupations and fields highlighted as short of workers include:

• Healthcare and care: doctors, nurses, midwives, caregivers for older people and people with disabilities, psychologists, and therapists.
• Education: practical vocational-training teachers, vocational-subject teachers, and teachers in special schools or integration classes.
• Transport, forwarding, and logistics (TSL): bus, truck, and tractor drivers; warehouse workers; and shop assistants.
• Construction and energy: earthmoving-equipment operators and mechanics, electricians, and power engineers.
• Finance, law, and manufacturing: independent accountants and welders.

Practical job-search points:

• Workers with relevant skills and experience may have better prospects and potentially higher pay in shortage occupations.
• Polish-language requirements vary. According to the presenter, some warehouse, production-line, and skilled-trade roles may require little Polish, though language ability is an advantage.
• Job seekers should check demand in the specific location where they intend to work rather than assume shortages are the same across Poland.
• The channel promotes a short form for people seeking warehouse, logistics, or manufacturing jobs, with a manager said to follow up with applicants.

Workplace-mobbing rules

The presenter says amendments to Poland’s Labor Code took effect on November 5, 2026, strengthening employee protections against psychological harassment (“mobbing”). According to his summary, workers no longer need to prove that harassment lasted for months or years, that a manager intended harm, or that it caused a health disorder.

The conduct described includes persistent harassment, humiliation, intimidation, baseless criticism, isolation, or deliberately obstructing someone’s work.

• Minimum compensation cited: PLN 28,836 for proven mobbing. Compensation is not automatic and must be awarded through the court process.
• Employer responsibilities: employers must respond to complaints and take systematic steps to prevent mobbing. The presenter says employers with at least 10 employees need appropriate internal procedures.
• Evidence-gathering advice: keep messages and correspondence, record dates and circumstances, document incidents, and notify the employer in writing. Recordings of one’s own conversations may be considered, subject to court assessment.
• Important distinction: ordinary workplace disagreements or justified criticism do not necessarily qualify as mobbing.
• Recommended action: raise concerns and preserve evidence while the situation is occurring; consider consulting a lawyer if serious problems arise.

Frameworks, processes, and metrics

Labor-market planning: Use the occupation forecast to identify roles with projected shortages, then validate demand locally.

Workplace-complaint process: Document incidents → notify the employer in writing → retain supporting evidence → seek legal advice if needed → pursue compensation through court if the case is proven.

Key figures:

• 14 occupations forecast to be short of workers
• 154 occupations forecast to have balanced supply and demand
• PLN 28,836 minimum compensation cited
• Internal procedures mentioned for employers with at least 10 employees
• Law effective November 5, 2026
