Human resource planning (HRP) involves forecasting future personnel needs and the availability of qualified employees. It ensures the right number and types of employees are available at the right time and place. The HRP process includes forecasting demand and supply of personnel, identifying gaps, and developing programs to address surpluses or shortages through actions like recruiting, training, reassignment, or layoffs. Effective HRP is based on organizational objectives and requires support from top management with accurate personnel data and appropriate forecasting techniques.
HR Planning
- 2. In simple words, HRP is understood as the process of forecasting an organization's future demand for, and supply of, the right type of people in the right number. After this only the HRM department can initiate the recruitment and selection process Its called by manpower planning, personal planning or employment planning
- 3. • It includes the estimation of how many qualified people are necessary to carry out the assigned activities, how many people will be available, and what, if anything, must be done to ensure that personal supply equals personnel demand at the appropriate point in the future. • Basically it’s the process by which an organization ensures that it has the right number & kind of people, at the right place, at the right time, capable of effectively & efficiently completeing those tasks that will help the organisation achieve its overall objectives.

COPING WITH CHANGE • Enables an enterprise to cope with changes in competitive forces, markets, technology, products & government regulations 1. CREATING HIGHLY TALENTED PERSONNEL • HR manager must use his/her ingenuity to attract & retain qualified & skilled personnel • Succession planning 1. PROTECTION OF WEAKER SECTIONS • SC/ST candidates, physically handicapped, children of the socially disabled & physically oppressed and backward class citizens.

FOUNDATION FOR PERSONNEL FUNCTIONS • Provides information for designing & implementing recruiting, selection, personnel movement(transfers, promotions, layoffs) & training & development 7. INCREASING INVESTMENTS IN HUMAN RESOURCES • Human assets increase in value 8. RESISTANCE TO CHANGE AND MOVE • Proper planning is required to do this

- 8. II. ORGANIZATIONAL GROWTH CYCLES & PLANNING • Embryonic stage – No personnel planning • Growth stage – HR forecasting is essential • Maturity stage – Planning more formalized & less flexible • Declining stage – Planning for layoff, retrenchment & retirement III. ENVIRONMENTAL UNCERTAINITIES • Political, social & economic changes • Balancing programmes are built into the HRM programme through succession planning, promotion channels, layoffs, flexi time, job sharing, retirement, VRS, etc….
- 9. IV. TIME HORIZONS • Short-term & Long-term plans V. TYPE & QUALITY OF FORECASTING INFORMATION • Type of information which should be used in making forecasts VI. NATURE OF JOBS BEING FILLED • Difference in employing a shop-floor worker & a managerial personnel VII. OFF-LOADING THE WORK

- 11. HR plans need to be based on Organizational Objectives. The role of HRP is to subserve the overall objectives by ensuring availability and utilization of Human Resources. In developing these objectives, specific policies need to be formulated to address the following questions: Are vacancies to be filled from promotions from within or hiring from outside? How do training and development objectives interfere with the HRP objectives? What union constraints are encountered in HRP and what policies are needed to handle these constraints? How to enrich employees job? Should the routine and boring jobs continue or be eliminated? How to downsize the organization to make it more competitive?
- 12. Demand forecasting is the process of estimating the future quantity and quality of people required. The basis of the forecast must be the annual budget and long-term corporate plan, translated into activity levels for each function and department
- 13. Demand forecasting must consider several factors both internal and external. Among external factors are competition(foreign and domestic), economic climate, laws and regulatory bodies, changes in technology and social factors. Internal factors include budget constraints, production levels, new products and services, organizational structure and employee separation.
- 14. Demand forecasting helps to : Quantify the jobs necessary for producing a given number of goods Prevent shortage of people where and when they are needed most Determine what staff-mix is desirable in the future Monitor compliance with legal requirements with regard to reservation of jobs Asses appropriate staffing levels in different parts of the organization so as to avoid unnecessary costs
- 15. Managerial judgement Ratio-trend analysis Work study techniques Delphi technique Flow models Other techniques
- 16. In this all managers sit together, discuss and arrive at a figure which would be the future demand for labour. This technique may involve a ‘bottom-up’ or ‘top-down’ approach. A combination of both could yield positive results.
- 17. This is the quickest forecasting technique. This technique involves studying past ratios, say, between the number of workers and sales in an organization and forecasting future ratios, making some allowance for changes in the organization or its method.
- 18. Work study techniques can be used when it is possible to apply work measurement to calculate the length of operations and the amount of labour required.
- 19. • This technique is the method of forecasting personnel needs. • It solicits estimates of personnel needs from a group of experts, usually managers. • The HRP experts act as intermediaries, summarize the various responses and report the findings back to the experts. • Summaries and surveys are repeated until the experts opinion begin to agree.
- 20. Supply forecasting measures the no of people likely to be available from within and outside an organisation,after making allowance for absenteeism, internal movements and promotions, wastage and changes in hours and other conditions of work.
- 21. Quantify no of people and positions expected in near future. Clarify the staff mixes. Prevent shortage of people Asses present staffing levels in different parts of organization.

- 39. People question the importance of making HR practices future oriented and role assigned to HR practitioners in formulation of organizational strategies HR practitioners are perceived as expert in handling personnel matters, but are not experts in managing business. HR information often is incompatible with the information used in strategy formulation. Conflicts may exist between short term and long term HR needs. Conflicts between quantitative and qualitative approaches to HRP. Non-involvement of operating managers renders HRP ineffective.
