People management challenges for SMEs in five European regions: Spotlighting the (in)visible and the (in)formal and embedding SME HR issues firmly in the business and knowledge environment.

Original language description

The aim of the publication is to present the results of the analysis of processes in the field of human resources management based on the obtained primary data, to bring the main findings in HR for SMEs and to define the challenges, which are then addressed by other SHARPEN project outputs. Results confirmed that the approach to HRM in SMEs is rather informal, provided not only by an HR specialist, but also by the owner or other managers. The results also confirmed considerable variability in the approach to human resource management across countries and SMEs. Often the tools used in individual HR activities differ (e.g. intensity of social networking in recruitment). On the other hand, SMEs across these regions have shown very similar challenges they face today. Trying to retain high-quality employees or attract new generation is a pressing issue for all SMEs. The interest to be employed in SMEs from the perspective of students are shown on results of GUESSS. The final part of the monograph introduces challenges and recommendations for SMEs related to solve the main challenges. The revelation of these topics and the setting up of international and regional cooperation gives space for further exploration and production of outputs for academia and business practice.
