Kompetencje pracowników wobec zmian w otoczeniu organizacji

The aim of this paper is to present the concept of the turbulent environment of organisations and its influence on employee competencies. The competency set of today’s professionals must adapt to turbulent times. These new environmental changes are exemplified mainly by the computerisation and intellectualisation of work. There are new types of organisational structures, omnipresent uncertainty and hyper-competition – these are what make innovation important. Most importantly, the approach to human capital has changed significantly during the last decade; it is no longer considered an expense, more an investment that will allow a company to profit in future. It is indisputable that the way work is done has changed significantly during the last 50 years, and resulted in changes in today’s model of an employee, who is described as knowledge workers.
