Contacting local office administration school graduates would be the most effective strategy to deal with the regional hospitals unit clerk shortages as they would have the necessary administrative skills and education to fill the positions. Additionally, this strategy allows for the recruitment of new talent and potential long-term employees. Regular overtime use and flexible scheduling may not be sustainable in the long-term and could lead to employee burnout. Internal transfers and outplacements may not be possible if there are no suitable candidates within the organization, and temporary help agencies may not provide the necessary skills and knowledge needed for the role.
