The accelerated economic, political and technological changes of our time are posing serious challenges to all economic actors, who need to respond appropriately to maintain and even strengthen their competitiveness. A key factor in this is the methods used in staff management and their effectiveness. However, the functioning of human resource management is always embedded in a specific internal organisational and external environmental context, including the impact of cultural, social, institutional and political constraints, which influence it. Comparative HRM research based on a contextual approach seeks to capture and explain these regional similarities and differences. With this study we are also following the comparative approach. We examine the characteristics of HRM in Central and Eastern European organisations in comparison with international processes and global trends, focusing primarily on the strategic role of HRM. Understanding the HR practices and trends in our region in a global context can serve as a basis for the development of effective HR activities and can help to strengthen the competitiveness of companies in the region.
