Staff

The backbone of your hospital, employees run the place in a variety of roles, from cleaning the floors to performing advanced procedures. Your staff have various skills, some of which dictate the departments and rooms they can work in, and traits, which can be positive, negative or both and affect their job performance and other aspects of their employment.

Skills

Staff working in your hospital have various skills that relate to general patient care or specific duties. Some tasks cannot be performed if a staff member does not have the required skill and the higher the skill level, the more efficiently or well they will perform the task.

Each staff member you employ is unique, possessing a number of traits that change how they work. Some traits are hidden, and can be revealed by paying the hiring agency $1,000 to reveal them (already employed staff).
