Language: | English | Abstract: | In need of an adequately motivational and guided way of work and in order to draw comparison with other armed forces in the field of personnel management, an organised system of promoting non-commissioned officers (NCO) is being established in the Slovenian Armed Forces. Education and training are two of the most important peacetime tasks of the Slovenian Armed Forces. In an organisation such as the armed forces, however, promotion is closely linked to education, training and experience. Promotion of an NCO is the result of a years-long development within the armed forces and reflects in the increasing responsibility required by the tasks they execute. An NCO, as a professional member of a military organisation, must be well educated and trained as well as well motivated and rewarded in order to successfully execute tasks within respective units or commands of the Slovenian Armed Forces. The development of an organisation such as the armed forces mostly depends on the capacity ofits members, in our case the NCOs, to fulfil its goals. This is enabled by a relevant personnel management strategy, incorporating three key elements which are not only interlinked, but also interdependent. These are education and training system, career model, and system of promotion. Through the process of their implementation, these elements have a direct impact on the development of each individual and the armed forces as a whole. | Keywords: | non-commissioned officer, education, training, career, promotion |
