Human Resource Management Strategy


Talent Acquisition Strategy in Pharmacy Staff Recruitment


In this series, ‘Human Resource Management Strategy’. We will be looking at the close relationship. Between Human Resource Management. And the strategy of a Company. It is widely agreed. Among Human Resource Management authorities . That talent acquisition is closely tied to the strategy of an organization.  We have summarized this in the figure below.



Strategic Processes

In the above figure. The hiring of different levels of staff are separated into clearly strategic processes (sections). This is because, you cannot effectively carry them out in the same way. In the Pharmacy profession. These principles are relevant. Since pharmacy is practiced as a business in the United Kingdom.

 

Strategic Importance of Staff

From the talent acquisition strategy diagram. Some staff are strategic. To the success of the business. Others are bottleneck in pharmacy operations.

 

Hiring The Pharmacist

In the upper right box. We see that the Pharmacist is very strategic. To the success of the business. This box shows a high score in strategic relevance. The demand for this position is high. In the face of a low talent Availability. As a result. It is very close to the classic Strategic Hiring process. Shown in this box.

 

Other Staff

The Accuracy Checking Technician(ACT), the Pharmacy Technician and the Pharmacy Dispenser are bottlenecks in the operations . This is because, their supply determines the speed of the operation. However, they are not as strategic as the Pharmacist.

 

Comparing the Processes

In the upper left box we see the Pre-registration Pharmacist. This box shows a low ranking in strategic relevance . And the talent availability is low. Recruitment in this box represents the Difficult Mass Hiring process.

 

Pre-registration Pharmacist Hiring Versus Strategic Hiring

Because the relevance of the Pre-registration is low at this point. The process is not as difficult as that. Of the Strategic Hiring Process in the right box.

 

Pre-registration Hiring Versus Specialist Hiring

But it more difficult than the Specialist Hiring. Which is shown in the same box. Because the demand is low for the specialist. However, while the demand is higher for the Pre-registration Pharmacist. Their availability is a lot higher.

 

In Conclusion

In the United Kingdom, the hiring of the Pre-registration Pharmacist is pursued vigorously. As an active hiring process. Compared to passive Hiring . There is a reason why this is critical. To the success of the Pharmacy operations. We will be looking at this next. You may leave your thoughts.
