A necessary condition of effective functioning of human resources management in an organisation is the creation of adequate organisational conditions including the existence of a human resources management department, its size, composition and responsibility, which are formed following particular conditions of the given organisation. Competitive environment of organisations operating in Slovakia and Czech Republic is growing with the process of world economy globalisation, and it brings the need of flexibility in management, and therefore we have to get used to changes also in the sphere of human resources management, and learn to cope with new impulses and situations. At present, that predominantly includes spreading effects of global financial and economic crisis, influencing all spheres of life in Slovakia and in Czech Republic too. Handling this situation presupposes flexibility in assessment of changes in environment where organisations operate, ability to detect all positive as well as negative impacts and situations, and formulation of measures to enhance their own position sensibly and cautiously. Due to the need of focusing of organisations on comprehensive arrangement of human resources management, in questionnaire researches, we focused on finding out whether and to what extent organisations operating in Slovakia (n = 340) and in Czech Republic (n = 109) focus on human resources management arrangement. The objective of the article is to compare results in the sphere of human resources in organisations operating in Slovak and Czech Republics. The results show that 67% organisations in Slovakia and only 43% in the Czech Republic had a human resources management department which realised followed human resources management functions and personnel strategy.

A frequent problem regarding human resources management in SMEs is that established rules are not followed. This is because managers either do not fully understand the rules or the importance thereof, or because of a lack of professional support or rigorous control by a human resources department. Another reason is that not all SMEs have personnel specialists or HR managers at their disposal, as a consequence of which the control and advisory role falls under the responsibility of line management. The solution to this conundrum may be the adoption of a personnel manual, a document that summarises best practice regarding human resources management based on the experience of professionally managed and financially prosperous small companies. This can be understood to represent a user-friendly methodological guide for the successful implementation of personnel management activities in SMEs by line managers, a guide which includes clearly defined methodological, control and advisory tasks and functions.
