Abstract: This article presents a discussion on the approach to professional training of employees who work in an unusual, non-routine work organisation, which is illustrated by working in project teams, or when people are employed in non-standard forms. The purpose of the study is to indicate what the differences are in approaching professional training of employees working in project teams or while working within the framework of non-standard forms of employment. Both phenomena are a part of the diversity of workplaces in contemporary organisations. Apart from presenting the theoretical approaches, the analysed issues are illustrated by the presentation of the previously conducted quantitative research results and case studies. The first two cases refer to work in project teams, while the third covers employment in non-standard forms.

Keywords: human resources development; professional training; project management; project team; non-standard form of employment; contractors.
