New HR Manager at a Hospital: How Would You Set Up Effective HR Practices?

Hi friends,

Please respond to this question. It's an assignment for HR, and I do not know where to begin. Please bring me on the right track. Any suggestions are most welcome. Thank you.

You are a newly appointed HR manager of a new hospital. You are responsible to the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer and have to set up the HR practices for the new hospital. The model is to recruit 75 specialist doctors, 150 generalist doctors, and 750 support staff made up of 250 nursing officers and 500 support officers. As the HR manager, you have to:

1. Ascertain your role as the HR manager.
2. Design the HR strategy for the new hospital.
3. Define the role of the HR department and its functions.
4. Ascertain the HR policies and practices to be implemented to meet the expectations of the board and the CEO.
5. Discuss the problems that you foresee and the actions you will take to deal with the problems.

You are required to state any assumptions that you have made.

Please do not seek answers to assignments. Instead, do some research, draft an answer, and then seek help to improve it by sending it as a private message.

Have a nice day.
