Like any industry, human resources in health care is important. The healthcare industry just like any other industries have obligations such as interviewing, hiring, retention and handling legal matters. New hire orientation and the coordination of training and development is facilitated by HR. HR is also responsible for the accurate implementation of legally mandated employee benefits (Nica, 2013). When there are disputes between employees or management, it is a human resources job to manage these situations as they arise (including terminations). In healthcare, human resources are responsible for making sure that all licensing requirements, certifications, and credentials (if there’s not a designated Credentialing Coordinator) are up to date for all personnel (nurses, doctors, technicians, etc.). Various risk and safety mandates are required in healthcare. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) is a law/act to ensure the safety of employees in the workplace. HR’s responsibility is to train employees on the basics of workplace safety. As an OSHA compliance measure, any injuries or illnesses that happen in or on the premises of the workplace must be reported to HR on a specified form. If audited/inspected, the report must be presented or risk being fined for violating compliance standards. These are just some of the reasons why human resources play an essential role in the healthcare industry.

This paper should be 5-8 pages in length. Any data used (interviews, surveys, websites, etc.) should be attached as appendices. You should use at least 3 course resources.

Communicating Bad News

Scenario: You are a middle manager at a large technology organization. You arrived at work today to find out that your organization is going through a reorganization. There will be mass downsizing – immediately. You met with your boss, who informed you that the company has been losing revenue for too long and immediate action is necessary. More decisions are to come. 

Your job is not in jeopardy; however, you will lose team members in the downsizing. Your team members are panicked and you need to step up to address the issue with them. You also need to maintain productivity and the results.

You call a meeting to discuss this with your team. Then you take some time to prepare yourself to deal with this situation. This is not an easy message to communicate, but a common one. Think through your approach by following the prompts below.

Part One: Write a script to tell us what you will say to your team at the meeting today. 

Part Two: Discuss your strategy with us, by addressing the questions below: 

• What is your communication strategy with your team?
• How often will you provide communication to your team about updates? You need to keep them informed, but not panicked.
• How will you get your key message across, while keeping your team productive?  
• What can you do to reduce the challenges of distraction and the rumor mill for your team?
