The healthcare industry struggles to find and keep skilled workers who can adapt to patient care needs. This mixed-methods study examines the complex dynamics of healthcare workforce issues using a comprehensive literature review and primary survey data analysis. Primary data analysis can illuminate demographics, job satisfaction, and how workforce issues affect patient care and organisational performance. Healthcare personnel span many ages and genders, according to the findings. There is a strong pattern showing how many factors make a happy workplace. Clear advancement paths, a decent work-life balance, and supportive coworkers are examples. The results suggest that business culture, leadership styles, and personal preferences affect healthcare worker retention. The study shows that workforce issues greatly impact patient care and organisational effectiveness. Exhaustion and burnout increase personnel shortages, which threaten quality care. Patient safety and organisational productivity are affected across healthcare facilities. Such findings emphasise the need for targeted healthcare worker shortage relief and resilience strategies. This study adds to healthcare worker dynamics knowledge by giving empirical facts and practical insights. Its detailed synthesis of primary survey data and secondary literature help map workforce management and planning for health care organisations, legislators, and others. Impacts extend beyond academia and affect healthcare personnel acquisition, retention, and development strategies. This report urges the healthcare industry to collaborate to overcome its workforce crisis. These findings and ideas can help healthcare companies develop workplaces that encourage employee health and satisfaction while providing excellent, person-centered care.
