Due to the increased need for the healthcare practitioners, there is increased relating to healthcare in the United States of America, and more specifically in Maryland. However, even though there is the need for greater number of services level jobs in the county, the healthcare industry does not provide full employee benefits such as paid sick leave, paid healthcare and at the same time, retired benefits. This has affected how employees can improve on service delivery to the customers because their needs are not satisfied first.

The federal and the state should come with ways to ensure that the service level jobs employees are paid their benefits such as the sick leave, healthcare, dental care and at the same time, retirement for the employees. All the staff is equal, and there is no need of fulfilling the requirements and benefits of some employees while the needs of other employees are not realized. It is the role of the federal and the state governments to ensure that the rights of all employees are capitalized and be able to practice fairness to all.

Additionally, the working hours, their salaries, hiring needs and at the same time, the availability of the personnel remains to be issues that are affecting the healthcare industries. Some salaries they are paid does not relate to the work done. In most of the time, these types of employees work for long hours, and less amount of money is paid for their services.

Therefore, it is the role of the department of the healthcare to ensure that there is efficiency in all levels of employees to increase motivation and productivity from the employees.
