The article examines new legislation in Poland mandating that job advertisements must be gender-neutral, requiring employers to use both male and female forms or a neutral term not specific to either gender. This law, effective from December 24, 2025, aims to promote gender equality in the workplace while highlighting ongoing issues with the persistence of male-centric language in job classifications.

Despite advancements in the private sector where companies have begun to comply with these gender-neutral advertising requirements, the article notes significant lag in the public sector. Many job classifications still apply masculine terms, reflecting an entrenched habit that resists change. The author suggests that inconsistency in regulations between different sectors hampers the overall effectiveness of gender neutrality policies, stifling progress toward equality.

Additionally, the article argues for the need to unify gender equality regulations across all sectors to avoid confusion and ensure fair treatment of all genders in employment practices. It discusses perceived limitations within current regulations and stresses the importance of further reforms to achieve true gender neutrality in the workplace and beyond.
