Organization and Planning of Corporate Education in the Czech Republic

Abstract The aim of this paper was to determine by means of a questionnaire survey to what extent large and medium-sized companies in the Czech Republic apply a systematic approach to education. This is, amongst other things, dependent on the existence of long-term and annual education plans and on whether the education is organized systematically by a personnel department or by a dedicated staff department focused on education. Two hypotheses were set. The first, that in at least 70 % of large companies and 50 % of medium-sized company education is organized by a personnel department or a separate staff department focused on education. The second, that at least 70 % of large companies and 50 % of medium-sized companies have a long-term education plan, including an annual education plan, in place. Although neither of the hypotheses were confirmed, it was proven that large companies approach the issue of corporate education in a more systematic way than medium-sized ones.
