About this Unit
This is a flexible learning unit looking at human resource management (HRM) as a strategic activity of health organisations especially as workforce shortages pose significant challenges to the health and aged care sectors. The workforce, with appropriate knowledge and expertise, is essential to the efficient and effective delivery of quality health services. Successful organisations shape the workforce to anticipate current and future directions and goals. Workforce planning is a crucial element of this approach and its success.
