human reSource planning
Human resource planning is the forecasting of HR needs and the projected matching of individuals with expected vacancies. Human resource planning begins with several big-picture questions:
● What new technologies are emerging, and how will these affect the work system?
● What is the volume of the business likely to be in the next five to ten years?
● What is the turnover rate, and how much, if any, is avoidable?
The responses to these questions are used to formulate specific questions pertaining to HR activities, such as the following:
● What types of engineers will we need, and how many?
● How many administrative personnel will we need to support the additional engineers?
● Can we use temporary, part-time, or virtual workers to handle some tasks?37
By anticipating future HR needs, the organization can prepare itself to meet competitive challenges more effectively than organizations that react to problems only as they arise.
