The primary issue identified in this article is the usage of HR bundle as described in the
HPWS to implement lean services and enhance organizational performance. The concept of
adopting ‘HR bundle’ a set of work practices which can be controlled individual but as a part of
set they operate in a systematic manner is taken from HPWS literature. This HR bundle forges
the interaction between managers and employees and can be used by service sector organisations
such as healthcare firms. In the HPWS theory the idea of ‘HR bundle’ refers to combination of
work practices which are assumed to provide performance advantage to business firms in the
service sector. This include work practices which focus on the structure of operational work and
employment practices which are related to process driven management-employee interactions.
The main findings of this article include identification of HR practices which can be considered
effective ‘HR bundle’ to ensure effective lean implementation in service sector firms such as
healthcare enterprises. Selective recruitment which is an element of HPWS literature is part of
the identified HR practices along with employee training, reward, participation, HR planning
practice and team working. Healthreach can utilize this research to implement lean services such
as Total quality management and Just in time to increase productivity of the Hospital. Elements
of HR planning capacity planning, role profiling and succession planning will help the company
increase organizational efficiency and enhance employee satisfaction. This will solve the current
problems of high employee turnover and low employee morale.

The main issue recognized in this article is the relationship between HPWS and job
crafting. Job crafting refers self-initiated, pre-emptive plans taken by the employee to change the
attributes of their job in order to align the job with personal requirements, skills and career
objectives. Job crafting can be used by casual employees to gain higher satisfaction from their

jobs. The research depicts positive relationship between employee well-being and organizational
well-being. Summary of findings of the research is that HPWS positively influences job crafting.
The three dimensions of HPWS which are skill enhancing practices, motivation enhancing
practice and empowerment enhancing practices need to be implemented by business firms in
order to improve job crafting. These HPWS practices provide multiple resources and
opportunities to shape their job resources and task boundaries. This research can help
HealthReach solve the problem of casual recruitment of nursing staff leading to low employee
morale and decline in patient care quality. Utilization of three dimensions of HPWS and other
HPWS practices will help the respective healthcare firm improve autonomous motivation of
employees. This will help the company deal with quality decline due to casualization as HPWS
practices will enable employee to gain more satisfaction from their jobs.
