Summary/Abstract: The paper concerns the investigation how important is for organisations to have further professional education incorporated into the organisation’s long-time strategy plan. A questionnaire containing questions related to the subject of research was distributed to a number of organizations. The analysed sample consisted of 115 organizations, both profit and non-profit ones. Statistical methods for categorical data, particularly Pearson’s chisquaredtest of independence and two-sample proportion test, were used to fulfil the objective of research. The results of this paper show that incorporating education into the long-term strategy is clearly connected with a higher rate of measuring and evaluating impacts of education. As shown in our previous research, this leads to using more effective methods of further education and thus to more effective use of financial means that organisations devote to education and training of their employees. The recommendation following from the results is that organisations should incorporate further education into their long-term strategies and HRM plans as this is clearly connected with higher investments of organisations into further education, thus also with the increased organisations’ performance.
