ABSTRACT
This manuscript investigates hospitals' use of human resource management practices to mitigate traumatic stress among hospital employees. Initially, the concept of traumatic stress is described and various groups of hospital employees and their sensitivity to traumatic stress are discussed. The three groups of employees considered are hospital's clinical first responders, hospital's non-first responder clinical care personnel, and a third group composed of all remaining hospital employees. Lastly, the manuscript considers specific human resource interventions to address traumatic stress along with directions for future research.
