How can policy makers and managers improve the performance of the health workforce? How does one plan for human resources? How can organizational development contribute to the performance of health workers?
The quality of health service delivery depends to a large extent on the availability and performance of qualified personnel, aided by sufficient facilities, equipment and drugs. Policy makers and managers can influence the performance of health workers by using carefully formulated and implemented human resources for health policies and strategies, developed in consultation with stakeholders. In order to enhance workforce performance, policy makers and managers also need to be able to analyse organizational culture and behaviour and to identify appropriate leadership skills.
This course addresses the knowledge and skills that policy makers and managers need for human resource planning and management. It provides an overview of the situation of Human Resources for Health from a global perspective and subsequently discusses strategies at country level to address health workforce issues. Topics include rational planning, training, governance and gender, performance management and leadership and organisational change.
