Conversations from the heart. We mention Jobs Door interviews

Meeting the other person, especially if we want to talk about their experience or take advantage of expert knowledge, usually leaves us with many thoughts. Each of the guests interviewed for Jobs Door brought a whole new kind of energy to our space, which we left with for longer. First of all, most of the conversations combined personal work experience with knowledge of the topic under discussion. We touched on the themes of disguise, career, the veracity of the concepts of work-life balance and work-life harmony as well as culture and safety at work. Although this is our area of interest, each of the talks brought a slightly different perspective, for example, on how we used to perceive the welfare promoted in the media. Some things have been clarified, some have developed and much has been perfected. That is why today we recall some of our conversations that we constantly want to remember. Being a fighter. History of Marty

Global Sourcing Manager in an international company, lawyer and logistician by education, mother and person with many years of experience in various industries and companies - both Polish and foreign. Marta Kamińska on the pages of Jobs Door defined “being a fighter” not only as a constant struggle for professional and life success, but also as the ability to tame ups and downs and seek stability.

As she herself admits:

I do not strive to be on top all the time, but I find a sense of stability in everyday life.

Her story is also a story about combining professional work with motherhood, thus reconciling ambition with care for home, loved ones and privacy. Aware that mothers in the labor market can experience exclusion, Marta took as her motto perseverance and willingness to make more attempts, even despite the mistakes made.

Importantly, despite her interesting career path, including her role as a manager at Danone, she emphasizes that fulfillment does not always mean professional success. For some it is work, for others it is parenting, and sometimes a completely different social role. It is not for nothing that Marta points out that parenting without the support of grandparents or caregivers can be a huge challenge - and that she has a special respect for this type of help. Well-being is not yoga at work. Interview with Barbara Drabczyk about mental health, generations and the labour market

We know Basia from social media. She interested us with content in which she combines psychology, the labor market and intergenerational dialogue. Thanks to her psychological and coaching experience, as well as real work with people of different ages, whom she helps to find their way back on the career path, Basia skillfully balances between the demands of the market and the needs of her clients.

In the conversation, she also admitted that well-being, which we often see in the media or on company websites, is not always what it should be. Taking care of the well-being of employees only through the offer of yoga at work or mindfulness classes will not solve the real problems of the organization. Instead, it is increasingly worthwhile to focus on intergenerational dialogue, despite the fact that in the media it is often presented as almost impossible.

Meanwhile, Basia rightly notes:

Contrary to appearances, the needs of workers of different generations are very similar - we all want to work in a healthy and respectful environment, receive a decent salary and have a sense of stability.”

Thanks to the fact that she combines her studies with demanding work of great independence, she also shared many personal experiences with us. They helped her to build authenticity among the audience, but also to better understand what actually makes it the most difficult to find herself in the job market today. “We have to look first at the man.” Interview with Agnieszka Szczygielska about workplace safety culture and modern solutions in offshore

Since organizational culture, and with it the culture of occupational safety, is extremely important for us at Jobs Door, the conversation with Agnieszka Szczygielska, director of the Central Institute of Labor Protection — the State Research Institute, was a meeting based on an extremely precise and substantive message regarding the construction of modern safety principles.

The interview, which also focused on the dynamically developing offshore sector in Poland and on the creation of an ethical code of good practice at work, leads to one key conclusion: safety starts with the person. It is about the employee, the employee, the member of the organization at every level, from the director to the mechanic, that all the regulations and procedures that aim to ensure the highest standards of working conditions speak.

Agnieszka's approach to security culture perfectly captures this phrase:

A culture of safety is based on a shared, consistent belief that people's health and lives are of the highest value.

Although the competitiveness of companies, the impact of security on financial results and the image of the organization are important, the work culture should be focused above all on respect for people. In the conversation, Agnieszka also emphasizes the role of research conducted by institutes such as CIOP-PIB and the importance of a reliable and meticulous assessment of occupational risk.

At the same time, he draws attention to the significant contribution of small and medium-sized enterprises in the development of the offshore industry in Poland, as well as the growing role of digitalization in the modern approach to OSH. These conversations will stay with us for a long time; full of unobvious observations, knowledge and new perspectives. Also unlisted interviews that you can read here: Historien, have been a source of much valuable reflection and inspiration for us. We are grateful for each of these conversations and hope that the next year will bring us even more such inspiring encounters.
