Abstract: This FOCUS Session has two goals: (a) bridging the gap between research and practice; and (b) broadening the impact of HRD by tapping into a new research territory (healthcare). A team of HRD researchers will present the findings from their collaborative work with scholar-practitioners in healthcare and health law. Specifically, we will present pressing issues facing healthcare management and pinpoint areas where HRD interventions can make substantial contributions such as employee engagement, retention, and well-being. Given the critical shortages of physicians and nurses post pandemic, this session is timely with benefits for both scholars and practitioners in HRD and healthcare.
