THE INFLUENCE OF ECONOMIC CRISIS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES AT COMPANY X

Živimo v času nenehnih in hitrih sprememb. Hiter gospodarski in družbeni razvoj zahteva boljšo izobrazbo zaposlenih, po drugi strani pa podjetja zaradi gospodarske krize in vse večje konkurence stremijo k racionalizaciji poslovanja in povečanju dodane vrednosti proizvodov in storitev. Zaradi tega največkrat znižujejo stroške na vseh področjih njihovega delovanja. Za poslovanje podjetja X je pomemben življenjski standard prebivalstva, saj neugodne gospodarske razmere, ki so povezane s stečaji podjetij, visoko brezposelnostjo in s tem večanjem praga revščine, neugodno vplivajo tudi na povpraševanje po storitvah podjetja X. V prvem delu diplomske naloge povzemamo teoretične osnove s področja planiranja, pridobivanja, izbiranja, uvajanja in razvoja kadrov. Poudarek smo dali področju razvoja kadrov, kjer smo opredelili pomen razvoja kadrov, izobraževanje in usposabljanje kadrov, spremljanje in ocenjevanje uspešnosti dela ter napredovanje in razvoj kariere. V raziskovalnem delu smo se osredotočili na področje izobraževanja in usposabljanja. Analizirali smo del poslovnih poročil podjetja X. Želeli smo ugotoviti kako gospodarska kriza vpliva na razvoj kadrov v podjetju X. Opravili smo intervju v kadrovskem oddelku ter izvedli anketo med zaposlenimi. Z anketo smo želeli ugotoviti, kako podjetje X skrbi za razvoj zaposlenih, kako so zaposleni zadovoljni s sistemom izobaževanja in usposabljanja ter ali so motivirani za izobraževanje in usposabljanje. Ugotovili smo, da so v podjetju X pristopili k racionalizaciji tudi na področju izobraževanja in usposabljanja. Zaposleni menijo, da bi jim podjetje lahko bolj prisluhnilo glede vsebin in tem izobraževanja, ter dodajajo, da nimajo dobrih možnosti za napredovanje.We have been living in the time of permanent and quick changes. Rapid economic and social development demand better education of people who are employed, on the other hand, the enterprises, due to economic crisis and the tendency to remain competitive, look for better management and the increase of the added value of their products and work. To achieve that they often reduce costs of all levels ot their production. Population standard of living is important for the business of the company X since adverse economic conditions, related to bankruptcies, high unemployment rate and rising poverty, have negative effect on demand for the company. The first part of this diploma thesis presents the theoretical framework in the field of planning, recruitment, selection, introduction and development of human resources. We underlined human resources development, defining its relevance, education and vocational training, performance monitoring and evaluation as well as career promotion and development. The diploma thesis research is focused on human resources education and vocational training. We analyzed a part of the management reports of the company X in order to understand the effects of the economic crisis on human resources development in the company. We conducted an interview in the human resources department and a survey among the employees, which aimed to explore how the company is dealing with human resources development, the satisfaction of employees with the system of education and vocational training and their level of motivation in education and vocational training. The results showed that the company X is streamlining also the field of education and vocational training. The employees believe that the company could pay more attention to their requests in terms of contents and themes of education and, they add, that do not have good options for job promotion
