Abstract
The purpose of this study was to identify the components of educational management, its governance and safe working conditions for teaching staff at universities. The methodology included three main methods: theoretical analysis, comparative analysis and questionnaires. The theoretical analysis helped to identify key issues and best practices in the development of human resources strategies, the comparative analysis allowed comparing different models of strategies at the international level, and the survey among human resources staff allowed collecting specific data on current issues and needs. The main findings of the study showed that effective human resources strategies include clear goal setting, adaptation to a changing environment and integration of modern management methods. The results revealed the need to improve existing approaches through the introduction of new tools and techniques that meet the modern requirements of the educational environment. The study has provided practical recommendations for improving human resources strategies that can contribute to improving the efficiency of human resource management in higher education institutions. The analysis of the results showed that the introduction of integrated approaches to human resources strategy, such as competence development and the use of modern technologies, significantly improves management efficiency. In particular, it turned out that higher education institutions need a systematic approach to staff development and adaptation to new challenges. This study has made it possible to develop comprehensive staff development plans and implement mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating human resources strategies to ensure that they meet the strategic goals of educational institutions
