HRM 635 Topic 1 DQ 2

Reflect on the status of human resource management in your current position or organization. What elements can you identify that provide a human resource management perspective that focuses on the employees within the organization? What elements can you identify that provide a more strategic human resource management focus on the whole of the organization?

Solution

According to Kailay et al. (2024), human resources management (HRM) within healthcare focuses its attention on lean management practices, patient-employee satisfaction, continuous improvement, and corporate social responsibility practices to improve relationships with nurses. HRM practices that support the nurse are more likely to affect that nurse’s commitment to the organization and competence and do so by consulting their nurses for an opinion and develop policies and practices around them (Kailay et al., 2024). The most important element to fostering a positive work environment for nurses according to Kailay et al. (2024), is nurse well-being. What HRM does for the hospital as an organization is improve clinical efficacy and efficiency throughout its procedures as a means of improving patient outcomes (Kailay et al., 2024). What this can mean for HRM is reorganizing the physical space, re-designating or reordering different medical wards to meet needs, supply appropriately trained and numbers of staff to units in need, and support staff in need (Dolati et al., 2024). According to Dolati et al. (2024), HRM is also a major player in crisis response as seen with the recent COVID-19 pandemic where reorganization of the hospital was required to meet the demands of both patients and the nurses. HRM within the hospital studied by Dolati et al. (2024), had to also consider the well-being of “high risk” staff members and relocate them to different tasks as a means of protecting both that nurse and their colleagues from unnecessary mortality risk from COVID-19.
