How Do I Map Manpower Needs Across 36 Hospital Departments? Seeking Guidance!

niyati bhivgade
Hi,

I searched a lot before posting my question on this site, but I haven't received any replies yet. If this term is new to everyone, please let me know as I am quite confused. I want to determine which departments in the hospital need employees and which ones don't. The hospital where I work has 36 departments, and I want to know the exact procedure. I have to map manpower for each department, but the big question is HOW?

Ask your management what their future plans are for the business. Approach each and every Head of Department (HoD) and inquire about the manpower they currently require or will need in the future. Understand the specific roles these new employees will be undertaking. Instead of hiring new personnel, consider delegating certain tasks to existing employees.

I hope the answers to these questions will assist you in making decisions regarding the company's manpower planning. I trust this information clarifies any uncertainties.

Dear Niyati,

I seek guidance from your immediate boss. It's a job for highly skilled individuals. This requires internal studies on many aspects such as present work conditions, manpower strengths, financial approvals, infrastructural study, departmental study, resource utilization, and mapping. Manpower planning is conducted by considering past experiences and projecting present and future needs.

Hi,

Manpower planning is the most important part. According to me, you need to study all departments first so that you can understand the needs and wants of each department. Later, you need to understand which department is of high priority and rank them accordingly so that you can plan and complete your work. Also, you need to study the roles and hierarchy of your organization so that you can plan for the organizational structure as well.

Manpower planning is an integration of your effort to determine the necessary staffing levels and their potentials. Through this process, you also evaluate the value of the entire workforce and identify areas for improvement. One way to present this information is by organizing the data, such as the employees' experiences, potentials, certificates, and other relevant information, into a structured format that is essential for administrative purposes.

Administrators typically aim to gain a comprehensive understanding of the hospital's workforce, including aspects such as numbers, productivity, usefulness, Room For Improvements (RFI), and more.
