Summary of project results

The aim of the project was to disseminate the principles of decent work and to raise awareness on the positive and negative aspects of the process of globalization. 4 scientific conferences under the common title “Human being in face of globalization” took place during the project implementation. These conferences have been organized by the trade union Solidarność in Stalowa Wola and had an important impact contributing to identify the employees’ satisfaction degree within the scope of social acceptance; possibility for cooperation within various fields in the company and beyond it; existing system of interpersonal communication, etc. The cycle of conferences served as a good example which actions are the most important in the relations between employers and employees (incl. the trade union organizations). The project was completed by the conference relating to the question of Social Corporate Responsibility and this subject should be continued in the future – taking into account the EU Directive on that matter.
