Abstract

Socio-technological changes of recent years have a vital impact on the shape of the labour market. Because of the dynamics of those changes, planning must consider shorter time horizons, while taking into account their long-term and global effects. Business decisions must be sensitive to the social environment of the enterprise. Current situation in the labour market, with a shortage of employees, makes staff management aspects more important, as well as stresses the significance of anticipation of activities in this area. The key aim of this chapter is to describe activities concerning the improvement of the relationship business-employee. A vital element of these relationships is competency management, which is part of Corporate Social Responsibility For Competency Management. CSRFCM may be defined as; ‘Strategy of the enterprise in the area of CSR, whose key role is competency management’. The first part of the chapter presents various conditions for activities connected with building relationships of the enterprise with the surrounding, based on topic literature. The main part of the chapter describes examples of activities, showing the opportunity of a model approach to building business relationships with the surrounding of the enterprise, with preventive competency management taken into account.
