Abstract
Organizations, regardless of their division criteria, strive to achieve a competitive position on the market in which they operate. For this purpose, they use various strategies aimed at optimal use of their resources. Management theorists and practitioners emphasize that the success of any organization depends primarily on the quality of competences of employees who are able to respond to new challenges resulting from ongoing changes, including: in the implementation of the latest technologies. In this context, there is a question about innovative activities in the field of human resources management (HRM), which should result in an increase in the competitiveness of a given entity. Hence, the aim of the research was to identify innovative activities in HRM task areas. The research was conducted in 110 organizations operating in the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship. The research used the diagnostic survey method and descriptive statistics. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the innovation of personnel processes is carried out mainly in the field of recruitment and selection of employees, their professional development and evaluation, as well as in the scope of streamlining personal administrative activities. Limited use of innovative solutions in all task areas of personnel functions is unfavorable because it may reduce the pro-innovation activity of employees.
