The Employees’ Competence Development inside Organization: Managerial Solutions

Summary/Abstract: This article deals with the issues of employees competence development inside the organization that should not be treated as a simple course of educational events, but strategically considered and lifelong process based on self-analysis, planning, monitoring and reflecting one’s own and others’ experience both in an individual way and in collaboration. The analysis of research literature indicated some lack of management solutions that help to integrate both non-formal and self-directed (informal) methods of competence development. The first part of the article highlights the requirements the contemporary world of activity sets for employees with a special emphasis on transferable skills and personal traits. Alongside, the two possible ways of developing employees transferable skills inside organization are discussed. The first one is related to nonformal systematically organized training in organizations. The second one is informal, self-directed development of competence that is based on the theory of experiential learning and emphasizes employee‘s reflection skills. The second part of the article is devoted to the discussion on the managerial solutions for developing employees’ competence by combining both non-formal training and informal learning approaches. For this particular reason the theoretical model of developing employees’ competence inside organization, which embraces the managerial solutions for both non-formal and informal competence development and highlights their interrelatedness, is presented.
