For an organization of any size to be effective and efficient, it must build a strong team of employees. Finding qualified personnel who are committed and motivated to grow with an organization is a difficult task performed by human resource management. This management position is defined as “Directing organizational systems to ensure that human talent is used effectively and efficiently to achieve objectives.” (Human Resource Management, 2006, p. 4) In other words, it is the job of human resource management to maintain a staff of qualified and motivated personnel to help an organization achieve its goals and fulfill its mission. A manager of this department has the right to recruit, select staff, conduct extensive training, develop individuals and teams, and retain employees. The job market has raised concerns among human resources managers due to rising turnover rates in nearly every industry. To decrease this rate across organizations, the human resources department must identify the retention problem and use strategies to recruit and retain staff. The healthcare industry is struggling with retention due to ongoing employee, technology and customer transformations. HSOs are receiving less compensation from “Medicare and Medicaid programs and private insurance and managed care organizations,” in turn decreasing the amount of funds the organization must invest in recruiting, training and retention. Human resource managers must develop plans to address these challenges in order to effectively recruit and retain their employees without causing job dissatisfaction. The main objectives that a manager should essentially focus on during these periods are employee recruitment, training and employee retention which the manager will need to motivate employees to feel part of the team and generate commitment towards the new employer job, if done successfully, employees will be more motivated to learn during their training and ongoing development.
