Strategic HRM Model for Healthcare Organizations

Mission Statement and Organizational Philosophy

A mission statement is a tool organizations use to convey their purpose, planned activities, and future direction. It outlines "who we are, what we achieve, and where we are directed," and provides an organization with its own exceptional distinctiveness, character, and pathway of growth (Drucker, 2003). The mission statement of the healthcare organization asserts the following:

"The mission of our organization is to address and treat each and every individual as a valued consumer while, at the same time, constructively contributing to the bottom line of the organization. The center will offer full-time and exceptional care every day of the week to its customers. This will be accomplished through wide-ranging programs that demonstrate a comprehensive understanding of all features of the human resources line of work, together with hands-on engagement in areas of legal compliance and service that exhibits a fervent attentiveness to the lives of others. In addition, the healthcare organization will continuously cultivate its own selection of skills and sustain a sense of balance between individual and professional lives."

Strategic Human Resource Management Model

The Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) model provides the organizational framework through which human resource systems and procedures are aligned with broader institutional goals. The model is structured around the following integrated components:

The internal and external environmental conditions that may influence this SHRM model encompass organizational strengths and weaknesses (internal conditions) as well as organizational opportunities and threats (external conditions). The factors most significant to the organization's future are designated as strategic factors and can be assessed through a SWOT analysis.

Internal Environmental Conditions: Strengths and Weaknesses

The location selected by the healthcare organization is situated in an accessible area, close to the neighborhoods of community residents. This accessibility means that clients are more likely to visit the facility in cases of emergency. In addition, the healthcare organization is renowned for its well-organized amenities and the quality of services it renders. Another strength is its capable, dependable, and loyal workforce, which can steer the organization successfully toward its goals (Warner, 2010).

The healthcare organization also benefits from an innovative culture. It is this pioneering orientation that has driven the business to success and sustained the expansion and growth it currently enjoys. Furthermore, the organization ensures that all customers' wants and needs are attended to during their stay within its premises. This builds trust, which serves as an ongoing strength for the establishment.

For the healthcare organization to succeed, its management team must work together to produce results. The institutional features of the company — including the mission, long-term goals, and human resource management perspectives — need to be reviewed and improved. More specifically, the human resource department is in need of reorganization. The board of directors has yet to formally accept the SHRM model presented for the company. It is imperative for the organization to develop a unified understanding of its structure and function, so as not to destabilize operations.
