The problem resulting from finding appropriate employees and the proper use of their knowledge, skills and abilities constitutes the subject of deliberations in many organizations. In the market economy enterprises aspire to get the competitive position by using all their resources, with particular reference to human resources. As a result of continuous changes in the turbulent environment, the processes of globalization, promotion of modern technology, human resource management, etc. is a subject to numerous transformations. Not only does the extent implemented in the enterprise personnel policy, but also the instruments used and the approach to personnel problems that arise.

The concept of human resource management experienced various stages in its development and was seen in many ways, exemplified by the change in nomenclature.

In addition, over the years, there is a noticeable permeation of traditional and modern practices that are implemented as a response to the needs demanded by the market. One should emphasize that in the personnel management the change of noticing human resources which before were treated exclusively as the source of costs, is a basic change and at present they are becoming crucial in building the competitive position with assets.

A strategic approach to workforce management treating employees as a key resource of any organization was reflected in the development of many concepts of human resource management and contributed to the dissemination of even the concept of marketing personnel.

In the personnel management implementing changes and implementing solutions that contribute to the transformation of the concept of human resource management become necessary because it allows for a gradual adaptation to the needs that the environment in terms of personnel policy dictates.
