This document discusses various techniques for forecasting human resource supply, including trend analysis, competency modeling, replacement charts, staffing tables, succession planning, and Markov analysis. Trend analysis involves identifying patterns in historical data that could impact future supply. Competency modeling identifies the ideal future workforce based on an organization's strategy and mission. Replacement charts estimate vacancies that could be filled through internal movement. Staffing tables represent current and future job requirements. Succession planning grooms successors for management roles. Markov analysis predicts internal employee movement between jobs, promotions, transfers, and exits. In conclusion, human resource forecasting is about estimating future demand for and supply of human resources.
