Finds that strategic human resource management enhances employee performance in the public sector, suggesting better outcomes for organizations.
Recent government reforms, the shutdown, and reductions in force (RIFs) have reduced the number of federal government employees. The US federal government however remains the nation’s largest employer with over 2 million employees. These reductions have implications for existing employees who remain in terms of organizational and employee performance. This is particularly true for the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) whose primary aim is to protect the health of Americans. Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) may prove to be a useful tool for strengthening today’s public sector personnel. SHRM can aid organizations by helping to promote the importance of employee well-being and morale during times of uncertainty.
