The healthcare sector under pressure

Finding enough qualified employees is a well-known challenge in the healthcare sector. Two years of COVID combined with an overheated labour market have only intensified the problem. Many hospitals and care homes have been forced to temporarily reduce their care services due to staff shortages. In other words, assigning the right people to the right positions quickly and effectively is no luxury. And identifying professional talent is exactly what we excel at at Orpsy!

It is essential that healthcare institutions have qualified and competent employees who are not only able to provide patients and/or residents with the right care, but also capable of optimising and improving their daily work processes.

We help your hospital or care centre manage talent intelligently and align available human competencies with the vision and mission of your healthcare organisation.

A real-life example

Imagine you are the HR manager of a large hospital. Over the past years the hospital has undergone many changes and has experienced strong growth. That sounds positive, but in reality there is insufficient staffing, and your current workforce has been under significant pressure for quite some time. This has a negative impact on both the working atmosphere and the optimal functioning of the hospital.

You are currently urgently looking for a new department head for the cardiology department. The department is facing challenges related to staffing, patient satisfaction and operational efficiency. It is therefore essential that the hospital finds the right candidate who can lead the department and address these challenges.

Our team of experts can help determine and, more importantly, properly evaluate the required competencies. In our assessment center, the competencies and skills of your selected candidates are evaluated through a variety of tests, exercises and simulations designed to assess specific competencies such as leadership, communication, decision-making and problem-solving.

During the sessions, strong emphasis is placed on interaction and observation. Through sector-specific role plays, simulation assignments, in-basket exercises and cases, we arrive at the most realistic assessment of both existing strengths and development potential.

Development can also be valuable in this case. The goal of a development center is to guide the career path of an employee or individual by stimulating their growth. It is a behaviour-based evaluation in which competencies are measured across different situations.

First, strengths and development points are identified. Afterwards, we share our findings and recommendations, enabling us to work together with you to create a targeted development plan. Ambitions and realistic development opportunities are aligned.

In a development center, particular attention is given to the individual. Their development and learning opportunities take centre stage.

How does the candidate view the expectations involved in leading an entire hospital department? What are their prospects and concerns? How can the candidate prepare for these expectations and develop themselves accordingly?

Participants experience this process within a respectful, open and professional environment. Throughout the day we provide continuous feedback and help define the participant’s learning journey. We offer practical tips and tools, and interaction remains central throughout the process.
