The Bo & Luke Show®️ #140 - Karmen Fittes, Chief Healthcare HR Officer at UVA Health... The Need for Radical Change
Healthcare human resources leadership is a vital role in any healthcare organization. Leaders must possess strong skills in recruitment, retention, and development of healthcare professionals. They must be adept at managing budgets, developing strategies, and leveraging technology to enhance the recruitment process.
They must also have the ability to build relationships with healthcare providers, managers, and other staff, as well as to motivate and inspire healthcare professionals to perform at their best.
All of these characteristics (and more) describe our guest Karmen Fittes. Karmen is the Chief Healthcare HR Officer at UVA Health. The insights she shared during our interview are invaluable for healthcare leadership across the board.
