4. How does the HRM team deal with the consequences occurred due to brain drain

 



Human resource management deals with the effective and efficient management of an organization's employees. The human resource team implements HR plans in order to achieve the organizational objective and all human resource functions must link  to each other and to the organization’s objective as well

Under the topic  ‘ Reasons and impacts of Brain Drain within the Healthcare industry’, I have mentioned the consequences that the industry is currently facing now due to the brain drain. Under the topic ‘How does the HRM team   deal with the consequences occurred due to brain drain’ , let's see how these consequences can be overcome by critically evaluating the HR practices

 

     As identified in surveys lots Sri Lankan intellectuals migrate to foreign countries due to many reasons. Most of the intellectuals have migrated due to inadequate salaries in Sri Lanka. Therefore they were inspired to migrate overseas to earn more money. Moreover, lack of job opportunities in the relevant fields, further education, acquiring better living conditions, prevailing political instability, and ethnic conflict are the other factors that affected the migration of the Sri Lankan intellectuals (daily news,2010) 

 

     The Sri Lankan health sector is largely hit by the brain drain. It Can be seen shortages of nurses in Sri Lanka due to their migration. Annually Sri Lanka produced a considerable amount of nurses, but lots of them are finding employment abroad. Especially rural hospitals of Sri Lanka haven’t adequate nurses. People in these areas face lots of difficulties due to the absence of nurses and it directly affects public health facilities. 

     The brain drain results in an unequal distribution of nurses and midwives around the world, which weakens neglected health systems and, ultimately, affect the quality of care provided to the patient

    The main 2 reasons associated with nurse's brain drain can be identified as follows 

·         A mismatch between employee performance and pay.

 

Employees’ primary source of income is their salary, so it is vitally important to them. since most, all nurses work both day and night, a ‘Variable payment ‘method can be introduced to them other than the fixed-based salary, which means the amount of variable pay an employee receives depends on the performance and the objective reached. This form of remuneration aims to motivate and encourage the employee to be the best they can be  

·         A mismatch between the level of expectation set  at the beginning of the employment 

 


Training and development in human resource management are educational and skill-building activities intended to improve the knowledge and skills of employees. The role of HR in training and development includes: Connecting with employees and understanding their training needs. Designing effective training programs. Motivating employees to participate in learning and development programs in order to build up confidence in their job role and build the job satisfaction

    1. Yes Dasun, the one reason for brain drain is the unfavorable and arbitrary actions of the government. But within the health care sector, more reasons could be seen for the migration of doctors and nurses. If their HR duties and responsibilities are conducted to look at their necessities, it will assist in retaining them within the industry.

  2. Migration of health care workers from developing countries to developed ones, have done more harm than good on the health care deliveries in the various countries. The aim of your paper is to review and explore the factors, impacts and strategies to improve the brain-drain phenomenon among healthcare workers. In my point of view, The factors that causes brain-drain include financial rewards, continuing rewards, career development, continuing education, hospital infrastructure, resource availability, hospital management, political issues, family issues, training, education and development.

  3. My blog shows you the reasons , impacts of the brain drain  and the strategies that need to be implemented  to overcome this issue. Employees who are in the healthcare industry are paid a lower salary, have less opportunities for career development , face inequality, have a stressful work environment, etc. If they are working day and night on behalf of saving one's life, as a HR team, they have to prioritize employees' necessities to retain them within the industry.
