Узагальнення досвіду використання соціальних інструментів управління персоналом на переробних підприємствах України
Generalization of the Experience of Using Social Tools of Personnel Management at Processing Enterprises of Ukraine

Summary/Abstract: The article describes the current state of the domestic processing industry, which is characterized by the positive dynamics of growth of the total volume of manufactured goods and the share of this industry in the structure of gross domestic product. It is emphasized that the country’s national human resources policy and properly prioritized HR policies of enterprises, in particular with regard to the use of social tools of personnel management, allow to increase the labor potential for intensive industrial development. The author’s approach to defining the social toolkit for managing the personnel of the enterprise is presented and ten of its components are distinguished. It is hypothesized that the use of a set of social personnel management tools is closely linked to the development of the enterprise as a whole and allows the purposeful use of employees’ efforts in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization. To test this hypothesis, the analysis of official statistical information on the dynamics of the number of employees, personnel costs, output and value, the introduction of innovations and their costs in the processing industry of Ukraine in the period from 2014 to 2017 is added. On the ground of the statistical study, it has been concluded that the quantity of labor resources, their material motivation, technology and organization of production are not determinants of the increase in the volume of manufactured products in the processing industry of Ukraine and increasing the added value in this area. It is suggested that such factors may be entrepreneurial skills and effectiveness of human resource management, in particular, on the basis of the use of social tools of personnel management. The example of the five surveyed processing enterprises in Ukraine showed that the level of using the social tool of personnel management by the enterprises of the processing industry, according to the method we defined, is average. At the same time, the dominant social tools of personnel management are to ensure the well-being of employees and the quality of their life, to plan and develop an employee’s career, to manage efficiency, to minimize and manage conflicts. Instead, the low level of using the social tools for employees’ involvement in managing an enterprise, establishing effective social partnership, feedback, counseling and coaching reflect the outdated understanding of the staff as the working force rather than as the critical resource of the enterprise. It is suggested that processing enterprises of Ukraine systematically use the social toolkit of personnel management as an effective mechanism of human capital formation, which contributes to the industrial and innovative development of the industry.
