Fundamentals of Human Resources in Healthcare: A Comprehensive Guide

By Carla Jackie Sampson PhD, Bruce J. Fried PhD

Fundamentals of Human Resources in Healthcare provides a comprehensive overview of the multiple disciplines and functions that workforce management requires, such as employee motivation, compensation, and training strategies. The book covers foundational principles as well as practical tools and techniques. This edition discusses the Great Resignation’s effect on healthcare employee-employer relations and human resource challenges exacerbated by the trend. Many chapters feature new discussion questions, activities, and vignettes.

Thoroughly revised, the third edition includes:

• A new chapter that addresses healthcare employee burnout and provides strategies for fostering employee well-being.
• Discussion of how to employ analytics, algorithms, and other tools for job analysis and design.
• Revamped diversity, equity, and inclusion content that incorporates the notion of belonging and introduces the concepts of intersectionality and inclusive leadership.

With Fundamentals of Healthcare Human Resources, readers will learn best practices in human resources, tools for analyzing workforce issues, and evidence-based techniques for managing an organization’s most valuable asset: its people.
