Action Plan
A step-by-step guide to equipping your HR for the future of healthcare.
- Replace disparate, on-premises systems with a HR cloud system that unifies all data in an actionable, real-time view.
- Link it with your ERP for financial data and other systems wherever possible for streamlined operations.
- Ensure data integrity early on through a rigorous training regimen that encourages widespread adoption.
- Create a multitiered recruiting strategy that encompasses social sourcing, employee referrals, and in-person events targeting specifically skilled candidates.
- Maximize the use of self-service and automation (including chatbots, if available from your cloud vendor) to shift HR resources to proactive, value-add recruiting tasks.
- Create an employer brand strategy that standardizes the promotion of your organization’s competitive differentiators and ensures each candidate’s journey is painless.
- Use both career pathing and succession planning functionality to ensure each employee, whether patient-facing or behind the scenes, has a clear career goal to work toward.
- Experiment with employee wellness programs, and use your HR cloud system to track each one’s effectiveness in engagement and performance.
- Create a task force to periodically audit engagement efforts to make sure your organization practices what it preaches to employees in terms of care.
