Employee development is becoming increasingly important in achieving organizations’ success and improving their business. We live in a society of knowledge, ruled by rapid technological advances and means of information for companies, markets and customers, along with ever-stronger competition. All this leads the organization towards inevitable changes, which are faster and more complex every time. Employees with appropriate knowledge, abilities and skills represent a key factor in the competitiveness and success of such organizations.
The main purpose of this thesis was to analyze the area of staff development. The organization must have adequately qualified people with whom they can reach success. In order to achieve the desired objectives it is essential for every organization to continuously develop, motivate and educate its employees, and to also provide opportunities for career advancement.
The aim of the research in the context of the thesis was to present the importance and the role of staff development and of existing employees’ development programme in a selected organization, and to determine the opinion of the employees on the topic.
The study found that the DataLab organization was aware that success of the organization depends on the skills, knowledge and motivation of employees who, through their relationship with the organization, create the organizational culture of the company. The efforts and contributions of employees are important for the performance of the organization.
Survey results indicate that employees are aware of the importance of their development and contribution to the organization, but it has been observed that there is a lack of focus regarding their choices and educational opportunities. We propose more detail-oriented and organized approach towards education in the organization. Employees and individual departments would benefit from educational curricula, through which employees would be directed towards the right education considering their particular field of work. Research results show that employees are sometimes too busy to devote themselves to education. Organization is proposed to determine a few weekly working hours, dedicated exclusively to the education and training of employees.
