Staffing or human capital is a large burden of the cost related to running an organization. Often in the trenches whether staff work in the facility, work remote or visit various locations, staffing models are often off the shelf and hugely dependent on the culture of the leader. This can be cost effective or cost prohibitive. This topic will examine fundamental objectives for staffing any project including hospitals, home health, IT and other projects. Methods to determine skill level for positions, and costs associated with ineffective staffing and teams will also be discussed.
