Human potentials, in all their narrower and wider meanings, are included in the main values of business organizations and institutions and today we can say that human potentials represent one of the most important factors in achieving a targeted, high quality and successful business. By achieving such a successful business, the company also achieves enormous competition on the business market. Modern companies should be aware of the importance of their human resources, so that every enterprise that cares for development and sustainable business develops a separate department that will focus on human resources specifically and management of human resources, because in order to be managed successfully, the needs and motivations of all carefully selected, qualified and valuable employees must be fulfilled. Human resources planning is important in a timely and qualitative manner to design and organize and continuously implement, but it is also important that the theories and practices of human resources planning are realistically adapted to the type of enterprise and its business and to the human resources profiles at its disposal. In order for banks to successfully carry out their activities, they must be aware of the various challenges, specificities and issues they may face. The aim of this paper is to present certain theoretical concepts such as human resources, management as a function of business operations, management of human resources, etc., but also to focus on recognizing the specificity of human resources, i.e., human resource management in a specific sector such as banking.
