Human Resource Management
Review Chapter 6,
- Review Chapter 6, “Selecting New Employees” in the course text, Human Resource Management: Functions, Applications, Skill Development, to examine the various selection processes health care settings and other organizations may employ. In addition, reflect upon the three types of “fit” nurse managers should take into consideration when selecting new employees.
- Identify a position that is open or has recently been filled in your organization.
- Using what you know about the position, the culture and expectations of the organization, your own hiring and selection experiences, and this week’s readings, investigate the following:
- Identify the selection steps that have been or will be taken, as well as the members involved. For example, which steps did human resources complete? In which steps did the nursing manager engage?
- Identify the skills, educational and work background, and “fit” required for this position. How do these align with the advertised job description?
- Identify any problems or areas that could be improved in your organization’s current selection process. If you were the nurse manager, how would you modify this process?
Submit a 3- to 5-page paper in which you do the following:
- Briefly describe the selection process used in your setting.
- Identify the team members involved in conducting each step. For example, explain which steps HR performs and which steps managers perform.
- Explain how effective you believe the current system is.
- Briefly describe any problems (e.g., rushing, stereotyping, “like me” syndrome, halo and horn effect, premature selection) your setting has experienced with this current selection system (if applicable).
- Identify the team members involved in conducting each step. For example, explain which steps HR performs and which steps managers perform.
