Challenges of Human Resource Management in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The purpose of the article is to identify challenges of human resource management tools in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and develop possible ways to address them in the time of Russia's military aggression against Ukraine and a radical reform of Ukraine's defense sphere. A study of the defense reform implementation has shown that, despite the introduction of new principles and methods of work with military personnel, there are still some shortcomings in human resource management. It is possible to overcome these challenges through the improvement of mechanisms for training, retraining and advanced training of servicemen, certification, rotation and strengthening the monitoring of human resource services. As well this article describes ways to improve management such as planning of personnel administration, improvement of educational methods in military educational institutions, introduction of individual plans into the educational process and retraining / advanced training of personnel. So following these instructions step by step can significantly improve handling of military servants of Ukraine. And finally, it is really important to pay attention on all the details during the war. We proposed a research hypothesis — the problems of insufficiently effective implementation of human resource management in the AF of Ukraine originate from imperfect personnel management, and can be solved by engaging personnel management practices applied in the corporate sector. ‎
