The study of the personnel policy of Verkhovyna District Forestry is focused on the analysis of the current state of the enterprise’s personnel potential, and the identification of shortcomings and areas for improvement. Using the methods of analysis and synthesis, the paper assesses the qualitative and quantitative composition of the staff of the Verkhovyna District Forestry and staff turnover for the period 2020-2023, and draws conclusions about the need to improve the personnel policy of the studied enterprise. Based on the method of generalization, the author identifies important trends and problems in personnel policy that top management has to address. To assess the effectiveness of the personnel policy of the Verkhovyna District Forestry, the authors conducted a SWOT analysis, which allowed them to identify strengths and weaknesses of personnel policy, as well as opportunities and threats that arise due to the war and other factors. Consequently, the authors substantiated that the main direction of personnel policy in Verkhovyna Forestry is ensuring the physical safety of personnel since forestry facilities often operate in remote areas, which complicates evacuation and organization of medical services, as well as increases the risk to the life and health of employees. It is noted that it is advisable for the Verkhovyna District Forestry to replace the existing reactive personnel policy with an active one, in which, in addition to labor and safety measures, special attention should be paid to the selection of personnel and their professional development. Of practical importance is the proposed program of measures developed on the basis of a SWOT analysis of the personnel policy of the Verkhovyna District Forestry, which identifies priority areas for motivational policy, social protection of personnel, improvement of professional training and development of personnel, and attraction of new highly qualified personnel. The authors conclude that the implementation of the proposed directions for improving the formation of personnel policy will contribute to the preservation of human resources and the development of the human potential of the Verkhovyna District Forestry.
