MAINBODY
Case Study of NHS
National Health Service is the organization that offers it’s social and health care services across
the UK with the support of four subsidiaries which are the part of NHS. From past fewer months
company is facing major challenges in it’s organization such as lack of employee’s productivity,
ineffectiveness of service delivering to the patient, financial pressure due to the Covid-19
pandemic. Covid-19 has become one of the major issues for the all healthcare and social care
companies because still no permanent cure is available across the world. Still, NHS staff are
facing various issues while working in the workplace and most of the employees are
experiencing depression and anxiety. Due to Covid-19, NHS have to handle all organizations
social care and health care in which number of people are admitted (Dunne, Rafferty and
Farrugia, 2020). Company is lacking behind employee’s productivity in the company because
several employees are on quarantine because they found covid-19 positive. So, remaining
employees have to spend maximum time in the workplace for offering best care services to the
patient. Company is also lacking behind equipment’s because it does not get proper funds from
public and government to run hospital more effectively. Due to this company unable to pay good
salary to the medical staff which is leading dissatisfaction in them. Apart from this, company
also unable to meet patient’s objectives. Thus, employees unable to give proper treatment to the
patient. These are the big issues which are facing by NHS currently.
