CONFIDENTIAL

The new cardiovascular unit that was recently open is under review to make sure the company is in alignment with the strategic staffing solution. In order for the company to be successful we, must move in the right direction. It has been proposed that skilled technicians needed, can be obtained through four methods. Those being:

1. Place advertisement in the local newspaper

2. Contact staffing agencies that specialize in placing technicians

3. Organize a job fair and invite local professionals to attend

4. Offer a $1,000 signing bonus to those who stay longer than 180 days

The biggest challenge for the company is making sure areas of staffing are covered. To do this New Health Medical Systems has to hire the best technicians to get the job done. According to Heneman and Judge, (2009) "Staffing is the process of acquiring, deploying, and retaining a workforce of sufficient quantity and quality to create positive impacts on the organization's effectiveness." The staffing strategy has to be aligned with the company's goals and vision. Because the cardiovascular is a new unit who currently is understaffed, it is very important that company follows the new strategic direction. In order for the company to follow the new strategic direction"staffing systems exist, and should be used to contribute to the attainment of organizational goals such as survival, profitability, and growth"( Heneman & Judge, 2009, p 56). The growth and survival of the new unit will depend on getting 35 skilled technicians hired within a reasonable amount of time.

Subsequently, the new strategic staffing plan is alignment with the new direction of the company. In order for New Health Medical Systems to get moving on employing at least 35 skilled technicians it is necessary to recruit and advertise as needed be. The four proposed methods that have been introduced are ways to get the attention of those skilled technicians in different areas or cities. The company needs to follow strategic human resources management, which can be thought of as "the pattern of planned human resource deployments and activities intended to enable an organization to achieve its goals" (Noe, Hollenbeck, Gerhart, & Wright, 2008 p. 69). The organizational goals for New Health Medical System cardiovascular unit is assist patients who have had heart attacks, strokes, and other types of cardiovascular disease. Because
