  1. Week 4 Assignment – Health Care Human Resources Management

    Overview

    Company mergers are very busy and challenging times for corporate leadership. The role that HR plays during a merger is often complex and far reaching. In this assignment, you write an executive brief that considers aspects of how an HR department might prioritize and operate to support the union of two companies.

    Preparation

    How to Brief an Executive

    There is no single correct way to brief an executive or other stakeholder. The final deliverable is your choice, but effective briefs have common elements; they should be clear, concise, relevant, well-structured, and provide decision-making information. Here are a couple of resources you may use to get started:

    Scenario

    Imagine that Anchor Hospital, a 250-bed medical center, is merging with the similar-sized Saint Mary’s Hospital to better serve the needs of their metropolitan community. An administrative board has been formed to guide all aspects of the merger. They have asked all departments to submit an executive brief that states their roles, intended model of operations, and initial steps to build interdepartmental relationships. The board’s primary concern for HR is how it will manage the merging of the workforces into a single, cohesive, and effective team. They want to understand HR’s primary role, guiding principles, and application of current practice. Specifically, they want your vision for the following:

    • A merger-related current best practice or trend that is being successfully employed by HR departments.
    • HR’s primary role in assimilating the workforces for the two hospitals.
    • The HR management model to be followed.
    • How to foster relationships between HR and department managers.

    Instructions

    Write a 3–4-page executive brief that address the following merger-related items:

    1. Recommend a relevant HR trend or practice that would be useful to consider as part of this merger. Justify your recommendation.
    2. Analyze HR’s primary role(s) as a strategic corporate partner in merging the workforces of the organizations.
    3. Recommend an HRM model that would effectively steer the joining of each organization’s employees into a single, cohesive workforce. Justify your recommendation.
