As the Director of Human Resources within a home care environment, you are responsible for the administration of the organization's labor budgets. Your Director of Clinical Services, who has a MSN, has presented some challenges regarding the compensation of her staff. This specific assisted nursing facility focuses on long-term care, providing approximately 500 nursing and support personnel (83 RN's and 417 Caregivers/CNA's) who deliver direct and indirect care to approximately 225 patients representing various stages of acuity and need for nursing care. Your overall labor budget represents approximately 60% of expense revenue. The Director of Clinical Service complains that several of her registered nurses are threatening to leave the organization, allegedly because a competitor nearby pays their nurses higher wages. In fact, Director of Clinical Service asks for an across-the-board immediate pay adjustment of an additional $5.00 an hour for the nurses. She is awaiting a response from you before the day is over.

What steps would you, as the Director of Human Resources, take to rectify this issue ($5.00/hr raise)?

In your capacity as the Director of Human Resources, develop a plan for how you would conduct an internal and external wage analysis of your organization and respond to the impact this would have on the organization
