Sažetak
Paper evaluates the quality of HRM in Croatia, as excellent HR policies, programs and activities enable enterprises to be competitive through people. The research in enterprises with more than 200 employees was conducted. The value of HRM was assessed using the HR audit approach. 55 HR indicators (26 quantitative and 29 qualitative ones) were analyzed, using 10 Croatian enterprises (among 80 enterprises that form the final sample) with the best HR practice as benchmarks. Results indicate that Croatian enterprises on average have deficient HR practice. Precisely, independent samples t-tests showed that 61.82% of analyzed HR indicators were significantly better for benchmark enterprises. Consequently, HRM in Croatia could not be considered a solid ground for achieving competitiveness through people.
