It's not only presumption, but the rising population with its rising lifestyle complexity is creating the demand for healthcare services to swell day by day. There is a dark side of this great news. With the increasing demand of the industry there is a steep decrease of the quality employee in the healthcare. There is a dearth of employees from all fields-doctor, nurse to Para-medical staffs. But why is the situation so!!!!!

Growing Complexity

Decentralized, disparate hiring processes

Customer service isn't optionalUnder value-based purchasing, patient satisfaction scores are highly critical for hospital's success. This metric is no longer optional for hospitals.

Autonomy can foster a decentralized and inconsistent approach to employee recruitment and hiring. Nurses, physicians and other providers may all be recruited and/or hired differently, especially since the hiring of each role can be overseen by a different entity. Inconsistencies between hiring managers can create unnecessary legal risk.

Shortage of workforce

Training and retention of employees

The first and foremost challenge is the identification, recruitment and retention of the required workforce

Developing Multi-tasking workforce

Employee cost is a major expenditure in hospitals and it keeps increasing consistently. Sometimes it goes beyond the budgeted level due to repeated revision of wage norms by state governments.

Developing Second line staff

Migration of healthcare workers is comparatively high, as compared to other industries. In case of nurses, the hospitals are not only facing threat from competitors within the city hospitals, but also from government hospitals, teaching institutions and from healthcare institutions abroad.

Managing younger workforce

The population demography of the country is heavily skewed with the youth making up for a substantial percentage of our population. Many of the fresh recruits are barely into their twenties when they are inducted into the workforce.

Accountability of workforce

Patient care, in general, is a team work and not an individual task. The team mix is hybrid, consisting of uneducated, unskilled workers to highly qualified doctor(s).

If we navigate deep, there are few more factors which are causing the vacuum in this segment:1. Less no of Medical college, Nursing training and paramedical staff training institute

2. Specialty Issues: in few of the specialty there is dearth of doctors.

3. Locations a disadvantage: most of these professionals are not ready to shift to rural or Tier 3 cities. On the other hand the professionals going up from small cities & villages are moving to big metros.

4. Less no of specialized recruitment Agency or Job consultants:

5. Shortage of Database: in this profession, many are not tech savy and are not active in emails and online. So there is some vacuum in database.

6. Sudden Openings or Bulk openings: In many of the healthcare organizations, suddenly a huge requirement comes up due to new project or Unit's introduction, where the difficulties of recruiting are observed intensely.

7. Work hours: As this is an emergency service, all the professions are required to be present round the clock. This working hour is also making the people shift to other fields.
