Understanding processes for recruiting and selecting working individuals in Health Care

In order to plan recruitment for the position in health and social care, there are several factors that are needed to be taken into account for effective recruitment. Some of the factors are: The strategic mission and vision of the Health Care Organisation, Creating a culture for the employees that could encourage them to be getting benefits from the works environment as well as to be motivated to do work, Considering the demographic trends, Altering the business trends by changing tradition methods of business, Usual economic conditions to see the opportunities for better serving the economy, Changing the technical resources of an Health Care Organisation, and Considering the appropriate legal and lawful environment as such may influence the practices' areas (Babcock, 2003, p. 48).
