MANAGEMENT POLICY AND IMPROVEMENT OF PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCES OF EMPLOYEES IN UKRAINE

Abstract

Enhancing personnel policy management is crucial for the successful operation of any organization. This process influences the efficiency, stability, and development of enterprises, as well as the overall socio-economic climate in the country. Managing the professional competencies of personnel involves processes of analysis, development, assessment, and motivation of employees to improve their effectiveness and career growth. This entails assessing current knowledge and skills, creating training programs, regularly evaluating performance, and developing individual development plans. This approach helps create a harmonious work environment where employees can develop their professional competencies and achieve success. By applying a competency-based approach to personnel development management, the organization focuses not only on the use of current skills for effective work but also on the formation of future competencies in accordance with its strategy. In this regard, the issue of creating a competency model becomes relevant. However, due to the unique characteristics, directions, areas of activity, and sizes of organizations, as well as the variety of professions and strategic business visions, creating a universal model is a challenging task. Therefore, each organization can develop its own competency models, as well as ensure methodical, organizational, informational, and motivational aspects of personnel development management based on a competency approach. The use of a competency-based approach to personnel development allows for the improvement of this direction management process, and the enhancement of the quality of employee selection, placement, evaluation, and training. This approach also opens up additional opportunities, such as the implementation of a continuous personnel training system, effective talent management, non-material employee motivation, and increased engagement. The development of competencies becomes the basis for the successful implementation of a strategic personnel management system and effective organizational culture management. Thus, by implementing a competency-based approach in the field of personnel development, one can not only improve the psychological climate and retain talented employees but also reduce the organization’s financial costs, significantly increasing its profitability. Well-planned personnel policies contribute to the rational distribution of labor resources, increased productivity, and optimal use of each employee's potential, allowing the company to achieve high results and remain competitive in the market.
