In a globalised and ever-developing market, 21st century organisations can only rely on one thing to remain constant and that is change. Change is not only inevitable, it’s occurring at an increased rate (Struckman & Yammarino, 2003) and the ability to embrace and master significant changes is how organisations define their competitive success (Graetz, 2011). A successful organisation will primarily pinpoint their future business strategies and as a result go through the stages of the change management process in order to achieve those strategies (Hossan, Dixon & Brown, 2013). One example of this is, the Queensland Health (QH) Clinical Workforce Strategy 2011-2026, which “establishes a clear vision for the future clinical workforce in …show more content…

2. Background of the Organisation
Queensland Health is the state government funded hospital and health service for Queensland. Work for Us was a business unit that was formed on a recruitment agency model and adapted for internal clinical workforce solutions (Broad, 2014) and was also a vital component of the 2006 – 2011 Workforce Strategy. Work for Us contained end to end recruitment which included, attraction, candidate qualifying and liaising with health district decision makers (Broad, 2014). It was a crucial business unit for QH, as in 2006 there were only 245 doctors per 100,000 people in Queensland (Health.qld.gov.au, 2014). Mr Broad’s main role in improving those statistics, as sourcing strategy project manager, was developing and implementing talent attraction and sourcing strategies that identified and engaged talent for the clinical workforce needs. This included the design, initiation and a 3 month trial and assessment of the implementation of the social recruiting strategy with LinkedIn, which occurred between September 2011 and May 2012 (Broad, 2014).

Implementing change among all organizations is necessary to achieve success; within the health care industry change is constant and it is the role of management teams to assess, plan, implement and evaluate change to ensure satisfaction. Considering this among the other aspects of running a successful organization it is essential to ensure that there is minimal resistance and familiarity to change. Demands of the consumers and staff as well as regulations are continuously changing. The responsibility of managers is to successfully lead these inevitable changes.
Organizations need to change in order to stay competitive or to respond to changing internal or external factors. This is especially true in Healthcare, specifically the Home Health and Hospice sector. The trigger event, which required this change, is the sequestration and rebasing from the Centers of Medicare and Medicare. A trigger event is a shift in the internal or external environment which necessitates the need for a firm to change (Spector, 2013, p. 14). The following essay will discuss the most significant problems the company might face as it implements change and how it relates to the sequential model of effective change implementation. This model notates the most optimal way to utilize tools, as well as, the best way to
Businesses are facing a dichotomy between wanting to chalk out an all-time structure and strategy for their organization, and recognizing that their world is in a constant state of flux [3]. For most of the 20th century they were largely focused on the static elements of this dichotomy. However, in the last decade changes have become more frequent and more dramatic, so much so that a whole branch of management is now devoted to the subject of change itself.
Every profession embraces change. Whether it is small, like a simple word addition to the important Patient Information document, or large, like a staff shift, the medical field is constantly changing. To fully understand the scope of what it means to change, I have been challenged to ask “Why?” The answers have helped me grow at Eastside Medical Center.

Change in healthcare is an inevitable certainty (Sullivan, 2013).Organizational change is mandatory to prevent stagnation. Change is often not a welcome process.

Changes in the workforce is inevitable. Changes bring opportunity for improvement and innovation. Even though these changes may be overwhelming and impacting; it important to be proactive when dealing with these changes. It is how a health care facility adapts to these changes will reveal how successful the facility could be. There are four trends to monitor when changes are taking place in the workforce.
NHS has undergone many changes since its inception in 1948 and it has become a cliché to say that only thing which is constant in the NHS is change. There are many drivers of these changes-the external and internal, the patient led, the policy led and also the changes driven by politics (Buchanan et al, 2013) and finances (DOH, 2010). This essay will critically analyse models of change and how they are relevant to my organisation (NHS). This essay will also critically evaluate human dimensions of change and how they impact on success and implementation of organisational change.

For any business in the rapidly evolving world of business, planning and implementing successful organizational change is indispensable. Essentially, organizational change refers to a process whereby an organization strives to optimize performance in order to achieve its ideal state characterized by high performance and profitability (Côté & Mayhew, 2014). Any business would be more likely to lose its competitive edge, as well as fail to meet the demands of its loyal consumers if it doesn’t plan and implement change. Weiss (2012) emphasizes that all organizations ought to embrace change, and it’s imperative to note that successful organizational change doesn’t involve simple process of adjustments; instead it requires appropriate change management capabilities.
