The Necessity of Employee Education

Abstract

In terms of companies, education and training belong to the most important investments in human capital. Although, education and training of employees is a normal part of the operation of many companies, all enterprises should be aware of its importance and give it constant attention. The basis of employee education is mainly to increase the potential of human resources and human capital, which constitutes the major part of the organization and enables organizations competitiveness in the labor market and of course personal development of employees. One of the most effective approaches to learning and development of human resources in the company is introducing a comprehensive set of educational programs and training. Through the vocational education and training of employees, the company may achieve their greater loyalty to the company and its values. In addition, employees are led to greater independence and have more opportunities for self-fulfillment, especially if they are provided with knowledge and opportunities for skills development in terms of their continuing professional development in the company. The paper points out to the importance of vocational employee education and the role of lifelong learning. The aim is to analyze and compare the employee participation in the activities of lifelong learning at V4 countries. Moreover, a separate attention is paid to participation in non-formal employer-sponsored education supported enterprises. The process of training for enterprises in areas which can contribute to achieving better results in terms of corporate and continual improvements in business processes through more efficient use of human potential is currently one of the important activities in maintaining the quality of personnel. In general, the intensity and coverage of employee education depend on staffing strategy and company policy.
