Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare Trust prescribes a key role for human resources: Research shows potential for strategic input in the NHS

Abstract

A study into human resource management (HRM) at a UK National Health Service (NHS) Trust has revealed significant potential for fostering a strategic role for HR in the public sector. The study, which took place in the Chelsea and Westminster Healthcare Trust, showed that the role of the HR director, attitudes of senior management towards HRM and the ways in which HR policies were put into effect had a major impact on how far HRs could become more strategic.
