Currently, I am working as a care service employee in one of the reputed aged care named Baptist Care based in Sydney since one year. In my working period I have experienced the above mentioned situations which are being faced by the management teams. From that what I understood is human resource is most important part of the organization. The functions of human resource management include acquisition, development, motivation and maintenance (HRM, 2021).

In terms of division of work, as far as possible the whole work should be divided into different parts and each individual should be assigned only a part of the work to minimize workload. Also, in unity of command and direction, an individual employee should receive orders from only one superior at a time and that employee should be answerable only to that superior. Moreover, it is the duty of the manager to ensure that employees are being paid remuneration according to their work so that they can have job satisfaction (BYJUS, 2021). Furthermore, funding arrangements can be affected from the state, nation and regional economy.

In order to deliver the quality service to the elderly population, it will take more money to meet their needs. Likewise, it has been reported that the investment done in IT field can help to keep those old aged people more secure in aged care. It moreover recommends more extensive accessibility of assistive technologies to progress the residents' autonomy and that all healthcare suppliers should embrace a digital care framework that connects to the My Health Record System (CareVision, 2021).
