Effective management of human resources has been shown to increase productivity, profitability, market value, and growth in organizations. For this assignment, students will research the best practices used by human resource departments in healthcare organizations. Using that research, students will write a 5-7 page paper (not including the cover sheet, abstract, or reference list) in APA format that includes how each of the following human resource management functions increases productivity, profitability, market value, and growth in a healthcare organization: job analysis/planning, staffing, training and development, performance appraisals, and compensation and benefits. Inclusion of examples of actual organizations is encouraged. A minimum of five (5) professional references must be included. References should be less than five years old in order to reflect current information.
