Abstract

In today's dynamic economic environment it is very important for organizations to view
their employees as a priority, since they may represent one of their most valuable assets. Although
many companies acknowledge the importance of the human factor for the success of the organization,
there is sometimes a discrepancy between the company’s belief and the way it is implemented. Even
in periods of economic recession, organizations must not perceive the costs of training and retraining
of staff as arbitrary, a cost which may be reduced or eliminated, according to the budget available, but
as an investment in a strategic resource, the results of which become more and more evident in time
and that determine the ability of survival, adaptation and development of the company in a rapidly
changing environment. Since over the last two decades the image of the Ministry of Administration
and Interior, and thus the image of the Romanian Police has depreciated considerably in the public
opinion, it is indispensable for the institution to focus intensely on staff training activities. For this
reason, it must attract the loyalty of skilled and motivated workforces that have the knowledge and
ability to perform the tasks required. The investment in people may not be sufficient for ensuring the
quality and efficiency of services provided, but it certainly is a must.
