HCMSA Demands Change: Advocates for Promotion Over Direct Recruitment

HCMSA's Advocacy for Promotion-Focused Advancement

On November 27, the Health Care and Medical Staff Association (HCMSA) organized a two-hour pen-down strike, drawing attention to their significant concerns regarding career advancement within the organization. This strike reflects the growing frustration among members as their demands for change remain unresolved.

Main Key Issues

  • Promotion vs. Direct Recruitment: HCMSA strongly believes that promotions should be prioritized as the primary means of career advancement. This stance is based on the idea that existing employees should have the opportunity to advance through hard work and merit rather than seeing positions filled by lateral entry through direct recruitment.

  • Employee Morale: The dissatisfaction resulting from perceived injustices in career progression is impacting employee morale. The association aims to highlight these concerns to foster a more supportive and fair work environment.

Call to Action

The HCMSA continues to urge management to address their demands for transparent and equitable career advancement processes. The emphasis on promoting current employees not only respects their loyalty and experience but also enhances overall workplace performance and morale.

Moving forward, HCMSA is committed to advocating for changes that benefit all employees, seeking dialogue with management to ensure that their voices are heard and their concerns are acted upon. This ongoing struggle highlights the importance of nurturing talent from within and creating a culture of growth and opportunity for healthcare professionals.
