As a human resource manager in healthcare, it is crucial to develop innovative processes and strategies that improve workplace performance while staying current with trends and research. Your role requires analyzing these trends and determining how to effectively implement them within your organization to create meaningful improvements in employee productivity and satisfaction.
Assessment Preparation
Select a health care organization and a specific division within it, with which you work or are familiar. I choose Cedars Sinai Organization.
Assume you are the human resources director for selected Cedars Sinai organization.
In a recent meeting, executive management has determined they would like to improve health care workforce performance levels within a specific division of your organization.
Management has asked you to research and select 3 diverse strategies or processes (e.g., implementing a performance management system, utilizing technology-enabled training programs, establishing cross-functional teams, etc.) that use innovative management techniques, operational practices, or technology that could be applied to improve workforce performance within the selected division at your health care organization.
As the human resource director, you are involved in these types of initiatives because it’s an important part of HR process management, which includes continuously observing and improving the workplace environment and employee life cycle.
Reference the Improvement Strategies Process Example for a step by step run through of an example strategy or process.
look at the PowerPoint that I have attached.
Assessment Deliverable
Create a 1,200- to 1,400-word summary of your 3 selected diverse strategies or processes to improve workforce performance. In your summary:

2. Identify 3 key strategies or processes to improve workforce performance for your organization and division to address the gaps you summarized.
3. Analyze how your strategies or processes affect workforce needs for service delivery for your organization.

- For the title, no quotation marks are required and it should be written sentence-style---meaning, only the first word and any proper nouns are capitalized.
- Italics should be used for the article if it is from a website. If the title is that of a book, it should also be italicized.
