Author: Abdurrahman Yunus Sariyildiz
ABSTRACT
Healthcare organizations are focusing on talent management in the healthcare sector and its role in the Health 4.0 process within a rapidly digitizing world. Factors such as demographic changes in the healthcare sector and hospitals, as well as increasing service demands, highlight the importance of Human Resources Management (HRM) once again. Talent management is critically important, particularly for attracting, developing, and retaining employees in healthcare services. Enhancing the skills of healthcare workers and increasing their leadership capacity directly impacts organizational success. Health 4.0 refers to the integration of digital transformation into healthcare services through the application of Industry 4.0 technologies in the healthcare sector. Healthcare workers can now access patient data from anywhere and communicate quickly with specialists, enabling more effective patient care. In the Health 4.0 process, talent management and leadership development have a direct impact on the motivation of healthcare workers and the quality of services provided. Talent management is a critical tool for ensuring the sustainable performance of organizations. In the healthcare sector, talent management plays a significant role in increasing job satisfaction, commitment, and productivity among healthcare workers. Moreover, during crisis periods, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the need for reshaping talent management strategies has been emphasized. Healthcare organizations are encouraged to support leadership development and enhance job satisfaction among healthcare workers through effective talent management strategies. Furthermore, the integration of digitalization and Health 4.0 technologies into the healthcare sector is vital for improving talent management and enhancing employee efficiency. In conclusion, talent management in the healthcare sector is essential not only for improving employee engagement but also for enhancing patient satisfaction and service quality. Successfully implementing these strategies will increase the sustainability and quality of healthcare services.
