Human Resources and Change: Major Responsibilities of HRM
The three major roles of human resources management (HRM) are (1) administrative, (2) operational, and (3) strategic.

This requires both short and long term planning for various aspects of management information systems and a dependable supply chain to fulfill these objectives. Implementing strategic human resources management correctly involves determining a human resources value chain fed in part by human capital—which may loosely translate into quantifiable means. Thus, this element of human resources can align with the other needs for supply chain management… Continue Reading...
day to day operations, nurse administrators need to have a firm command of financial management and human resources management expertise. Nurse administrators also need to know about how to form strategic alliances with partners in the community, government, and private sector. Essentially, nurse administrators tend to be relatively far removed from the job of actual nursing and provision of care, while also keeping in mind the need for patient-centric policies.
