It is now generally accepted that economic competitiveness is built on employees with specialized knowledge and general culture that is constantly enriched and updated in today's society of knowledge and information. Training and improved skills of health professionals are essential for the rational allocation and use of employees in the health system in order to achieve efficient operation of health services. This paper aims to examine the educational needs of employees (administrative and nursing/midwife staff) in the public university hospital Aretaeio, their desire for further education, the proportion of retrained staff, as well as and their perceptions on the incentives that the organizations could provide for further education of employees. The first part includes a theoretical approach emphasizing on the value and the need of continuing education, with a reference in the existing educational programs and methods of public organizations. The second part, which is the empirical part of this study, consists of the data analysis and the discussion of the results. Finally, the third part sets out the research findings and proposals in order to meet the educational needs of staff in Aretaeio hospital. The results showed that the administrative and medical / obstetric staff wishes to be retrained and recognize the value of continuing professional education. The most popular topics for further education are professional specialization, administration and IT, since only one third of the employees has been retrained so far. Employees recognize the professional benefits of continuing education are less important than the personal benefits, while they prefer the incentives for personal and professional improvement than those for educational leave and financial support.
