What is Human Resources Planning? It is a both a qualitative and quantitative processes aimed at forecasting the future (short term and long term) HR needs of the organization and developing appropriate strategies so as to address those needs. It is aimed at making sure that there are right numbers of people with right job and behavioral qualifications at a right time in the right jobs. HR planning is a strategic function: it must aim at aligning the organizations human assets with the long the central goal of the organization. It is not only about headcounts, but it is all about making quantitative and qualitative forecasts to address the gap between the present and future human resources requirements of the organization.

Q2. What is the workload for the current available staff?
Do you think the workload is fairly shared and distributed? Are some of the skills utilized or underutilized due to the design of jobs in the organization. Quantitative analysis of the workload may not be enough as it cant help you decide the levels of pay. You may need to go a little bit far and look at the intellectual, skills, behavioral, and other qualities needed for the job (e.g. making risky decisions, maturity, physical strength?) At this stage you need to identify who does what; if it is hard you may need to document what every individual in an organization does from morning to the closing. Include what is not included in the formal responsibilities of an employee: See an example in the next slide;
Q3. What is the current state of the organizations human resources treasury profiles
You must do job analysis and develop job descriptions for the current and future jobs to be created. For each of the existing and expected job, clarify the requirements, attempt to combine related jobs and skills if possible.
Generate the necessary information and document them as in the next slide
Desired Behavioral Competencies: Physical Qualities: Extra Efforts Required: Working Conditions:
Q3. Continues Can the organization offer enough human potential to address all the needed (present and new) human resources qualities? E.g. In terms of education, skills, physical and behavioral qualities? If yes, wont the organization need replacement if the available skills and behavioral qualities can address future needs? Go beyond and look at the ages of employees you have; arent they tired (right to retire). What is the current rate of retention (how many employees have left within the last 12 months) calculate them as a percent of the present staff?
Q4. Labour market scanning (are the needed human resources available?)
Sometimes this goes with research: At this stage you are analyzing the external supply (and demand). Look at the external pool of workforce from which the organization can draw; Are there the needed qualifications in the labor market? Are schools developing such knowledge as wanted in your organization? How many employers would need them? What is the cost of attaining them in the current labor market? Are the possible graduates from schools and colleges possessing the right skills or you will need training after recruiting them? Ascend on and make a strategic analysis of Internal and External HR Environments: a SWOT analysis is the best way to do it at this stage. Remember to consider internal and external environments.

Q5. What strategy might be needed to fulfill the organizations human resources needs (Developing HR Strategies)?
Different strategies may be used to address the HR need of the time, but one needs to be careful since each strategy has its advantages and disadvantages. Compare these: Train the existing staff in newly required skills? Redesign jobs (combining responsibilities)? Send people for formal training out of work place? Conduct on job training? Institute a formal leadership development program? Recruit people who have strong command of the required skills from within? Recruit fresh entrants from outside? Outsource, contract out, or seek partners with plenty of required skills? Note: Some may not work in certain situations.
