In order to analyze educational needs for HR managers this paper examines current expectations concerning the HR effectiveness and the difference between global and regional trends: which notions about the HR effectiveness are common among the experts. The result of the group discussion indicates the most expected areas of HR competencies perceived by HR professionals in Ukraine: strategic contribution and business know¬ledge, effective communication, personal efficacy, people-oriented beha¬vior, mastering HR processes, strategic workforce planning, organizational culture, learning and personal development. At the same time there is no expectation among HR professionals about innovation, change, technology and social media.
