What does Human Resources mean to you and what is their role in hc orgnizations?

Human Resources to me is managing the key asset of the organization,the employees. The employees of an organization need to be managed separately from other asset of the organization because they have specific needs unlike the other tangible assets of and organization. The human resources department of an organization is responsible for designing and implementing strategies to manage the employees of an organization. This department is responsible for recruitment and the hiring and firing of individuals, performance reviews and management, training and development of employee's skills and the management of compensation and benefits as well as rewards.

Human Resources play a large role in a health care organization. Since a Health care organization's main purpose is to serve individuals who need health related services as a result of an injury, ailment or prevention of the two, the success of the organization depends on the skills of the employees. Therefore it is especially important for a health care organization to have a fully functioning and capable human resource team. This department will need to be able to hire, train, and retain quality employees to provide superior customer service, ensure patient safety and to produce successful outcomes for patients. Employees will need to stay motivated through proper compensation, benefits and rewards. Finally to achieve successful outcomes for patients and improve employee skills human resources will need to conduct performance reviews to inform employees of what they are doing right and what they are doing wrong.
