HR Management and Perceived Effectiveness of Further Education and Training Methods of Millennial Employees in the Czech Republic

Abstract

Investing in Human Resource Management (HRM), particularly in employee development through Further Education and Training (FET) at workplaces is a priority for most organisations. Our paper investigates how the participants perceive the effectiveness of particular FET methods based on an empirical study of 611 respondents from the millennial generation. The investigated sample consists of respondents employed at organisations operating in the Czech Republic. The results reveal that organisations are still regularly using certain traditional methods that do not correspond to the preferences of new employees (millennials) so are perceived as ineffective. The results should be useful for organisations seeking to adopt HRM policy and practice, particularly FET for the changes in the generation of employees.
