Introduction

dissatisfaction of the workers, care givers that consequences to the improper delivery of
service leading to dissatisfaction in the customers as well. The improper management of
human resource in health and social care sector may result for unsatisfactory care service
to people (Aiken et al. 2017). In the following discussion, the information has been collected
in context of the St-Margaret’s Nursing Home in order to develop the human resources
management among the individuals being recruited to the firm. In addition to the above,

Factors required to be considered for planning recruitment of individual at St-Margaret’s
Nursing Home (1.1)

In order to limit the number of recruitment made for new individuals, the existing workers of the
nursing home must be noted.
4. Financial implications associated with training of individuals are decided.
5. Relocation incentives and remuneration to encourage the skilled workers are planned.

their staff retention. However, once the above set decisions are made by the nursing home, the
next fact to be considered by the HR manager of the nursing homes is to consider relating
components that are capable of attracting the right candidates for the available job roles

candidate or the job role, an organisation must make advertisements for the requirements of the
vacancies and their further specifications. However, in case of St-Margaret’s Nursing Home, the
