HR managers are the unsung protagonists in healthcare, mostly because their jobs directly affect the lives of patients whom they seldom meet. They work directly with healthcare professionals to devise programs and key solutions that cater to the requirements of both employees and patients. It is significant work that is worthwhile in a number of ways.Since all health care is ultimately delivered by and to people, a strong perception of the human resources management problems is required to ensure the success of any health care program. Further human resources initiatives are necessary in many health care systems, and more widespread research must be undertaken to bring about new human resources policies and practices that will promote the welfare of individuals around the world.The COVID-19 has grandly shaken all hospitals, creating a complex and challenging environment for managers and human resource management (HRM) practitioners, who need to find ingenious solutions to ensure the continuity of their companies and to help their employees and health care employees to cope with this extraordinary crisis. The study suggest that managers and policy makers should focus sharply on improving the functioning of relevant HR management systems in health care organizations as one important means to improve patient care.
