(Addoceo) Research Chair
in Human Resources Development in Healthcare (ISM-UQO)
The Addoceo Research Chair in Human Ressources Development in Healthcare (ISM-UQO) benefits from a grant of $50,000 per year for five years. It is the result of a collaboration between the Institut du Savoir Montfort (ISM) and the Université du Québec en Outaouais (UQO).
The purpose of the Chair is to develop an innovative research program to support the creation of an organisational environment that puts emphasis on learning. The ultimate objective is to foster the development of the skills necessary to the members of the organisations, regardless of their levels, functions or expertise.
With learning as its central theme, the Chair’s work will be part of a collaborative approach that promotes both synergy and networking of research expertise, including industrial relations, education, administrative sciences, organisational psychology and ergonomics (without being exhaustive). The research will be guided by three founding principles. From the theoretical point of view, the work will contribute to the improvement of general knowledge about human resource development. Empirically, the work will provide a better understanding of workplace learning. Finally, in practice, the Chair’s work will help develop interventions that can increase the skills of healthcare professionals.
