The HIM department of Memorial Hospital recently hired two new managers, a second shift supervisor and a day shift coding manager. During the hiring process, the HIM director realized that all HIM management staff needed a refresher course on the legal requirements that a manager must be familiar with in regards to employee hiring, training, discipline, and retention. The HIM director and the human resource consultant met and discussed the training needs of managerial employees in light of employment laws and their impact on the healthcare workforce. The HIM management team meets monthly to discuss pertinent topics and next month the HIM director is going to provide training on employment laws and how they impact the management of HIM employees
