Abstract:

Developing a workforce in the healthcare sector is an important part of the process. From hiring a set of well-skilled workers to updating their skills based on the latest improvements, many criteria are required to be fulfilled. The research here is an attempt to provide a systematic review of the development of the workforce scenario in the healthcare sector along with its implications post the pandemic. For the study, a systematic approach is taken where high-quality papers from various databases related to the topic are used to identify the themes for the study. The five themes identified include employment situation, quality of care, working conditions, retention and migration and policies designed. These five elements are crucial for developing an efficient workforce in the sector, especially during the pandemic. Healthcare workers require satisfactory employment benefits and proper hygienic working conditions. The policies supporting the healthcare workers are beneficial to keep them motivated towards working in the sector in the future. The paper systematically reviews the important aspects to focus on while developing the healthcare workforce during a pandemic.
