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!!!!!

1. Hiring Challenges
Facing by the Hospitals to find healthcare professionals

2. 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!!!!!

3. Growing Complexity
Quality & Compliance
This particular industry has highly-
involved organizational structures with
multiple components compared to some
other companies or industries.
As mentioned in the previous points due
to licensing issue, quality & compliance is
paramount requirement in this
profession.

4. Highly trained professionals
Requirement of Physicians, nurses,
technical positions and other providers
who are highly trained with a high
degree of autonomy. Much of the
performance criteria for these positions
are objectively defined by the profession
as well as state and national licensing
organizations.

5. Decentralized, disparate hiring processes
Customer service isn't optional
Under 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.

6. High Risks
If hiring results in poor quality of work at one
industry, it may mean a weakened
competitive advantage or questionable
product. For hospitals, though, the stakes are
higher since a bad hire can mean direct harm
to the patient.

7. According to one of the most famous experienced
professionals, the most haunting challenges now are:

8. Shortage of workforce
Training and retention of employees
The first and foremost challenge is
the identification, recruitment and
retention of the required workforce
Apart from the challenge of having the
right people for the right task,
technological advancement warrants
consistent training for maintaining the
highest standards of medical excellence.

9. 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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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).

13. 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.
