PREVENTING PATHOLOGIES IN ORGANIZATIONS - DAGMARA LEWICKA (ED.)

In today's dynamic business world, the competitiveness of companies largely depends on human capital. Employees, especially those from Generation Y, seek opportunities for professional development, a positive work atmosphere, and active participation in management. Failure to meet these expectations often leads to a quick change of employment, which forces companies to build a strong image as an employer of choice.
