Assessing the Baseline Impact of Agile Human Resource Management in the Healthcare Systems of Western Balkan Countries

In many developed countries, human resources are managed on the basis of the HRM and human resources are highly trained and well paid. However, in the Western Balkans, human resources management in the healthcare sector are limited or non existent, and health personnel are often underpaid and undertrained. Work in this paper is based on desktop research of public and private health care organizations, telephone calls made to those we recognized as leaders in the Western Balkans in the public and private healthcare system, as well on relevant studies and scientific papers we gathered on this topic. The aim of this paper is to describe the health sector in the Western Balkans, to identify the situation in terms of human resources management and other related elements, both on a micro and macro level, as one of the basic conditions for solving the existing situation. Also, in paper were identified certain guidelines based on examples of more developed countries, and explained the necessary circular and agile approach to HRM as a tailor-made solution for WB.
