Introduction
Human resources are those individuals with specialized skills and commitment to deliver the required services. Strategic human resource planning enables organizations to support their master strategic plan by ensuring the organization is equipped from a human capital perspective to meet future demands.
For this assessment, you will imagine yourself in the role of a leader at St. Anthony Medical Center, the same organization from Assessment 3. In the simulation, an event has occurred that brings to attention a number of staffing issues that need to be addressed. You are asked to make a report regarding your observations and analysis for workforce planning at the center in the wake of an event.

- What should be an ideal staffing plan to consider?
- How can human resources be seen as a competitive advantage within the organization?
- What could be the implications of not addressing the organization’s workforce as it relates to its strategic goals identified for the future of the organization?
- What are three measures you would implement to determine whether the new human resource staffing plan has effectively met the needs of the organization?
