For women who cannot or do not want to take up permanent employment but wish to remain professionally active, body leasing is a solution that helps reconcile work with motherhood.

According to the Polish Economic Institute, as many as 30% of mothers with children aged 1-9 are unemployed. Of these, 16% declare that they do not work because they cannot find suitable employment. Body leasing, which supports the combination of work and motherhood, is a solution for women who cannot or do not want permanent employment but still want to remain professionally active. This is confirmed by the experiences of BIDads, a company that supports recruitment processes for firms in the digital marketing industry.

According to the report "Mama wraca do pracy – bariery behawioralne i kierunki wsparcia" (Mother Returns to Work – Behavioral Barriers and Support Directions) developed by the Polish Economic Institute, 77% of unemployed women whose youngest child is 1-3 years old indicate the need for childcare as the reason they are not taking up work. Some women in the study state that they have difficulty finding suitable jobs, meaning those that match their qualifications and allow them to balance family and professional responsibilities.

The report also indicates that career development is an important life goal for mothers, as is a sense of independence and empowerment. However, maintaining a balance between family life and work is key. The modern labor market is changing dynamically, and an increasing number of mothers with young children are seeking flexible forms of employment that will allow them to effectively combine professional and family duties.

The amendment to the Labor Code, which came into force in April 2023, allows parents of children up to 8 years of age to request adjustments to their working hours to meet their family needs. At the same time, body leasing, a form of project-based employment that allows the renting of specialists for a specific period, is gaining popularity. For mothers who want to remain professionally active but need flexibility in managing their time, body leasing can be the ideal solution. It allows them to work on projects that align with their qualifications and experience while offering the possibility to adjust the work schedule to personal needs.

Employment in this form is becoming increasingly popular in the digital marketing field, as confirmed by the experiences of BIDads, which supports recruitment processes for companies operating in the digital marketing industry.
