Description Purpose: The main purpose of this article is to present the stereotypes which – to the authors’ mind – are the most common on the Polish labour market and their relation to employability.Methodology/approach: The basic methodological approach profited from in this article is descriptive and has been on literature.Findings: The article can serve as inspiration to break down stereotypes regardless of the geographical location of the organization. It can also contribute to growth and the change of the perception of own employability. Implications/limitations: The paper aims to show how stereotypes at work can affect employability. But it would be advisable to perform profound empirical studies, revealing the relationships between an individual’s employability and stereotypes in the workplace. On the other hand, however, this issue would be an extremely challenging research process due to the ambiguity of stereotype category in a theoretical view.Originality/value: The article includes recommendations for practical application drawn from theoretical reflections, which can be an inspiration to break stereotypes and contribute to the increase and alteration of perceived employability.
