Evaluation of Employee Work Performance ? Basis for Identifying Educational Needs

Identification of educational needs is the basic starting point of the preparation and planning of corporate education. For the education to be efficient, it is necessary to examine educational needs, based on currently available company information or information acquired for this purpose. In order to identify educational needs properly, it is necessary to conduct the needs analysis on three levels: the enterprise level, job position level, and on the level of individuals. The focus of the paper is on the lowest level, i.e. analysis of individuals, where the process involves the assessment of property traits of individuals, while the decisive factor is the performance and behaviour of employees in the implementation of working activities. The concept of the research is based on the needs of practice and existing legislation in the Slovak Republic. Courses in economics, the aim of which is to develop the knowledge of economics and business skills, are not offered in the study programmes of general medicine, dentistry and biomedical physics to the extent to correspond to the needs for the performance of managerial positions in health establishments or to the performance of private medical practice. The project summarises results acquired during the second year of the work on the project KEGA No. 014EU-4/2016 ? ?Preparation of the content and structure of subject disciplines focused on the development of knowledge and skills of graduates from non-economic health service fields of study? supported by the government educational agency of the Slovak Republic.
