What Pracodawcy Pomorza does

Pracodawcy Pomorza is a private non-profit regional employers' organization founded in 1991 and headquartered at Aleja Zwycięstwa 24 in Gdańsk, Poland. It represents and serves employers and entrepreneurs operating in the Pomeranian Voivodeship through a dual structure of 22 territorial branches (powiats) and 14 industry sections spanning construction, IT, finance, healthcare, maritime, tourism, education, cybersecurity, and other sectors. The organization's core functions include social-dialogue representation, labor law and economic policy advocacy, business networking, training programs (notably the 'Kurs na Offshore' initiative for offshore wind workforce development), and organization of signature events such as 'Rozmowy na Szczycie' debates and the Pomorski Pracodawca Roku competition. It is affiliated with Konfederacja Lewiatan and indirectly with BusinessEurope, granting access to pan-European social dialogue channels.

The organization's product and technology surface is centered on an Extranet member portal for company profile management, event registration, B2B advertisement posting, and member directory access, supplemented by a mobile application, an email newsletter, and conference room rental services. Revenue is generated primarily through membership dues, with supplemental income from EU-funded projects such as the 2025-2027 'Pracodawcy Pomorza – silny i efektywny Partner Społeczny' initiative under European Funds for Pomerania 2021-2027. The organization also operates five recognized awards programs and maintains partnerships with regional chambers, educational institutions, and energy-sector bodies including Polskie Elektrownie Jądrowe, Equinor Polska, and Polska Izba Morskiej Energetyki Wiatrowej. Leadership is provided by President Zbigniew Canowiecki and Board President Tomasz Limon, supported by Vice President Ewa Podgórska-Rakiel and Board Commissioners for vocational education and Polish-Chinese cooperation.
