Większość dużych przedsiębiorstw posiada własne wewnętrzne regulacje dotyczące zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi. Te akty normatywne są zwykle stanowione w środowisku określonego prawnego systemu. Gdy przedsiębiorstwo dokonuje ekspansji za granicę, zaczyna wówczas działać w innym środowisku prawnym, co powoduje, że akty te nie są zwykle zgodne ani z prawem ani z kulturą prawną państwa nowego rynku. Artykuł dotyczy zgodności wewnętrznych regulacji niektórych międzynarodowych przedsiębiorstw działających w Polsce z tradycyjnym modelem rodziny zawartych w polskim prawie. Autorzy zatem przeanalizowali: wspieranie rodzicielstwa, przedsiębiorstwa rodzinne, preferowanie osób niehete-roseksualnych. Wnioski wskazują na to, że niektóre wewnętrzne przepisy nie są spójne z polskim prawem. Z kolei niektóre regulacje dotyczące np. daycare, elastycznych godzin pracy mogą zostać recypowane do polskiego systemu prawnego. Byłoby to z korzyścią dla tradycyjnego modelu rodziny. W artykule znajduje się także ekskurs, który dotyczy zjawisk polegających na recypowaniu przepisów ustanowionych przez prywatne firmy przez prawo państwowe oraz postulat, aby polski prawodawca był otwarty na sprawdzone rozwiązania prawne.

Most of the big companies have the internal regulations about human resources management. The bylaws in question are usually created in the reality of a particular legal system. When a company expands abroad, it starts operating in a different legal system than its own. As a result, the bylaws are not always compatible neither with laws nor the legal culture of the state of a new market. The paper touches upon the problem of the cohesion of internal regulations of some of the international companies operating in Poland with the traditional family model established in Polish law analyzing three areas such as: supporting parenting, family business, and preference for non-heterosexual persons. The conclusions are that some of the internal regulations are not coherent with Polish law, and some of the bylaws regarding, e.g., daycare or flexible working hours, can be adapted to Polish legal system. It (unclear what “it” is referring to) would benefit traditional model of the family. The paper contains also the excursus about some legis-lative phenomenon regarding the reception of state law regulations issues by private companies and pos-tulates that the Polish legislator shall be open to new ideas in this matter and search for the well-tried regulations.
