Human Resources Management for Health Care Organizations: A Strategic Approach

Summary

Because the human resources management department acts as the guardian of the most important asset of any health care organization—its people—it is imperative that health care human resources professionals consider the intrinsic and extrinsic dynamics of culture in all of their activities, programs, and daily accountabilities. A focus on the specific needs of the employee as an individual must be complemented with a continued understanding of the group cultural dynamics both internal and external to the organization in order to position the progressive health care organization to provide the best health care in every situation.
