Is There Really a Future for HR in Hospitals? Seeking Insights from Fellow Professionals

Hello friends,

I am an HR Executive in a hospital. I would like to know if there is any scope for HR in a hospital because I am not finding any opportunities here.

Namrata Shah

Hi Namrata,

There are many important roles of HR in a hospital, which are as crucial as in a corporate or MNC company. The same principles and mechanisms are utilized in hospitals. The healthcare industry is growing rapidly, and HR is in high demand in hospitals.

Hi, I am a doctor and have completed my postgraduate studies in management. I am a fresher who has joined as an HR manager in a hospital without any experience. Can I perform better in the hospital?

Dear Namrata,

I have been working in the healthcare industry for over 2 years now, and there is a much better scope for HR in this field. You will be dealing with educated individuals for each of your HR activities, which makes it more rewarding, especially for women.

Thanks & Regards,
