74. Use of technology: As technology continues to advance, it is likely that job analysis and HR management processes
will increasingly rely on technology. This could include the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning
algorithms to automate job analysis processes and provide more accurate and reliable data.
Focus on skills: As the nature of work continues to change, there is likely to be an increased focus on identifying and
developing specific skills required for different jobs. This could lead to a shift away from traditional job descriptions
and toward more detailed descriptions of the skills and competencies required for each job.
Increased flexibility: With the rise of remote work and flexible work arrangements, there is likely to be an increased
focus on developing job analysis and HR management processes that can accommodate a more flexible workforce.
This could include the development of new job analysis methods and the use of technology to facilitate remote work
and collaboration.
Emphasis on diversity and inclusion: There is a growing recognition of the importance of diversity and inclusion in
the workplace, and this is likely to have a significant impact on job analysis and HR management processes. This
could include the development of new methods for identifying and addressing bias in job analysis, as well as the
development of more inclusive job descriptions and specifications.
Focus on employee well-being: There is increasing recognition of the importance of employee well-being in the
workplace, and this is likely to be reflected in job analysis and HR management processes. This could include the
development of new methods for assessing employee well-being, as well as the development of new job analysis
methods that prioritize employee health and well-being.

Gather responses from the students verbally through general discussions (faculty
may jot relevant responses on a white board)
107. What is HR forecasting?
• HR forecasting is the process of predicting how a company's staffing
needs change with time so that it can remain prepared to operate
successfully.
• Organizations use HR forecasting to decide to hire more people,
reduce their staffing or adjust how they divide responsibilities.
• Since HR departments handle hiring, onboarding and training, they're
best qualified to execute this project.
• Companies might do HR forecasting periodically or continuously if
their business model involves frequent turnover or supply and demand
changes.
110. 1. Managerial Judgement
• In this, managers sit together, discuss and arrive at a figure which would be the future demand
for labour.
• The technique may involve a ‘bottom-up’ or a ‘top-down’ approach.
• This technique is used in smaller organizations or in those companies where sufficient data-
base is not available
2. Trend Analysis
• A trend analysis strategy uses historical data about the company's previous staffing to predict
its future needs.
• It compares your number of employees at different points in time against metrics important to
the business model.
3. Ratio analysis
• It functions similarly to trend analysis because it establishes a connection between key
metrics and total staffing. It prioritizes identifying the exact ratio that enables a business to
operate well and then applies it to the future.
111. 4. Regression Analysis
• This is similar to ratio-trend analysis in that forecast is based on the relationship between sales volume and employee size.
• However, regression analysis is more statistically sophisticated.
• A firm first draws a diagram depicting the relationship between sales and workforce size.
• It then calculates regression line—a line that cuts right through the center of the points on the diagram.
• By observing the regression line, one can find out number of employees required at each volume of sales.
5. Work-study techniques
• 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.
• The starting point in a manufacturing company is the production budget, prepared in terms of volumes of saleable products for the company as
a whole, or volumes of output for individual departments.
• The budgets of productive hours are then compiled using standard hours for direct labour.
• The standard hours per unit of output are then multiplied by the planned volume of units to be produced to give the total number of planned
hours for the period.
• This is then divided by the number of actual working hours for an individual operator to show the number of operators required.
• Allowance will have to be made for absenteeism and idle time.

• 6. Delphi Technique
• 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.
• The experts are surveyed again after they receive this feedback.
• Summaries and surveys are repeated until the experts’ opinions begin to agree.
• The agreement reached is the forecast of the personnel needs.
• The distinguishing feature of the Delphi technique is the absence of interaction among experts.
7. Flow Models - Markov model:
• A transition matrix, or Markov matrix, can be used to model the internal flow of human resources.
• These matrices simply show as probabilities the average rate of historical movement from one job to another.
• Figure below presents a very simple transition matrix. For a line worker, for example, there is a 20% probability of being gone in 12 months,
a 0% probability of promotion to manager, a 15% probability of promotion to supervisor, and a 65% probability of being a line worker this
time next year.
• Such transition matrices form the bases for computer simulations of the internal flow of people through a large organization over time.

Group - Case let Discussion
V-Shop is a retail company part of a very popular brand and is doing very well in a new city they
entered two years ago and plan to start one more retail outlet in another location in the same city. The
size of this new unit will be identical to the existing one. The space has been located and leasing
agreements signed. The launch date was planned as July 1st
and this is now March 23rd. They have
outsourced the HR planning activity to your team and provided you with access to interact with the
team in the city to come up with a time bound HR Plan for the new outlet for the next two years. If
your team is able to identify ways to make the new outlet more profitable than the first one in six
months form the launch date, they would sign up a two-year contract with you to assist with planning
all the future outlets in any other city they venture to.
List all the information you will need to consider.
Prepare a HR plan for this company for the next two years.
Note: Faculty can divide class into the groups of 6 each . Each group prepares a short presentation on
the decided answer to the caselet questions.
The class discusses and can share their findings. (Use white board/ Digital Aids like woo clap or

126. Introduction
•A manpower inventory is the
process of systematically identifying
and maintaining detailed
information about the workforce,
including their skills, experience,
qualifications, and potential for
future roles.
127. Steps in Preparing a Manpower Inventory
Step 1: Workforce Analysis
• Assess current workforce skills, qualifications, and experiences.
• Identify gaps between current workforce capabilities and future business needs.
Step 2: Data Collection
• Collect data through surveys, interviews, and performance evaluations.
• Ensure the data is updated regularly for accuracy.
Step 3: Categorization of Skills & Competencies
• Group employees by job roles, departments, skill sets, and leadership potential.
Step 4: Forecasting Future Needs
• Analyze future trends and business goals to determine required skills and competencies.
Step 5: Gap Analysis
• Identify gaps in skills, experience, and competencies, and plan for training or hiring needs.
Step 6: Update and Maintain the Inventory
• Ensure the inventory is kept up to date with regular reviews, training, and career development
programs.
128. Tools and Techniques for Manpower Inventory
• Employee Database Management Systems (EDMS)
• Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS)
• Competency Frameworks
• Skills Matrix
• Talent Management Software
129. Employee Database Management Systems (EDMS)
What it is:
An Employee Database Management System is a software tool that stores, organizes, and
manages employee-related data. This system can track essential details such as personal
information, job titles, performance history, training records, and skill assessments.
How it works:
The EDMS provides a centralized repository where HR teams can store and easily access
data about employees. With this tool, organizations can maintain a comprehensive overview
of the workforce, allowing for the quick retrieval of employee records, which is critical for
maintaining an accurate manpower inventory.
Examples:
• Workday – A cloud-based software that provides a full suite of HR and financial management tools,
including employee data tracking, payroll, and performance management.
• SAP SuccessFactors – A comprehensive solution for HR management that includes employee
information systems to track employee performance, competencies, and development needs.
130. Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS)
• What it is:
A Human Resource Information System (HRIS) is a software system that helps in the
management of employee data, including recruitment, payroll, benefits administration,
performance tracking, and compliance. It acts as a central system for managing all HR
functions.
• How it works:
HRIS tools provide a user-friendly interface for storing and accessing employee records and
various HR processes. These systems can automate many HR tasks such as recruitment
workflows, employee evaluations, and training. HRIS also helps with workforce planning by
analyzing data and providing insights into skills gaps or future talent needs.
• Examples:
• Oracle HCM Cloud – A complete cloud solution for HR management that offers
features like talent management, workforce planning, and payroll management.
• ADP Workforce Now – Provides HR management tools, including talent management,
performance tracking, and payroll management, helping organizations manage manpower
efficiently.
131. Competency Frameworks
• What it is:
Competency frameworks are a set of standards or models used to define the skills, knowledge,
and behaviors required for successful job performance. This tool helps organizations map out
the competencies needed for each role, aligning skills with job requirements.
• How it works:
A competency framework defines a set of competencies (e.g., leadership skills, technical skills,
communication skills) that are essential for employees to perform effectively in their roles. It
can be used to assess the current skill levels of employees and to identify skill gaps.
Competency frameworks are essential for identifying future training and development needs
for the workforce.
• Examples:
• SHL Competency Framework – A widely used framework for assessing key competencies across
various job roles and industries.
• CIPD (Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development) – Provides a competency framework for
HR professionals, helping businesses build a highly effective HR function.
132. Skills Matrix
• What it is:
A skills matrix is a visual tool that maps out the skills and competencies of
employees across various roles or departments. It lists the skills needed for different
positions and matches them with the current proficiency levels of employees.
• How it works:
A typical skills matrix will display a list of employees and their proficiency levels in
various skills (e.g., beginner, intermediate, advanced). This allows HR managers and
leaders to quickly assess the capabilities of the workforce and identify employees
who are suited for specific roles or leadership positions. It also highlights gaps in
skills that can be addressed through training or hiring.
• Examples:
• Excel-Based Skills Matrix – Simple, but effective tools like Excel can be used to create a
custom skills matrix, listing employees on one axis and required skills on the other.
• Skillsoft Skill Matrix – A software that can automatically map employee skills to job
requirements and help track progress over time.
133. Talent Management Software
• What it is:
Talent management software is designed to help businesses manage the entire employee
lifecycle—from recruiting and onboarding to performance management, career development,
and succession planning. These tools integrate various HR functions into one platform to
streamline operations and improve decision-making.
• How it works:
Talent management software enables HR teams to manage recruitment processes, employee
performance, and development plans. It also allows companies to identify high-potential
employees and track their progress over time, which can be essential for creating a successful
manpower inventory.
• Examples:
• Cornerstone OnDemand – A talent management platform that integrates learning, performance, recruiting,
and development processes. It helps organizations align their workforce with business goals.
• LinkedIn Talent Solutions – A platform that provides tools for talent acquisition, performance tracking, and
workforce planning, allowing companies to identify and nurture internal talent.
134. Performance Management Systems
• What it is:
Performance management systems are tools used to track, assess, and improve employee
performance. These systems often include features like performance reviews, goal setting,
and feedback management.
• How it works:
Through regular evaluations, feedback, and performance tracking, these systems help
organizations monitor employee progress and assess their fit for future roles. Performance
management systems ensure that employees are aligned with organizational goals and
provide data that can be used for succession planning and leadership development.
• Examples:
• 15Five – A performance management software that emphasizes employee engagement, feedback,
and goal setting, providing real-time insights into employee performance.
• Trakstar – A comprehensive performance management tool that includes features like performance
reviews, 360-degree feedback, and employee development tracking.
135. Succession Planning Software
• What it is:
Succession planning software helps organizations identify, develop, and manage their
future leaders. These tools assist HR teams in creating a structured approach to
succession planning by identifying critical positions and high-potential employees,
and developing leadership pipelines.
• How it works:
Succession planning tools provide a framework to assess employee potential, align
succession plans with business goals, and track progress. They allow HR teams to
manage candidate pools, track leadership readiness, and ensure that the right people
are prepared for leadership roles.
• Examples:
• SuccessFactors Succession & Development – A component of SAP SuccessFactors that helps
manage leadership pipelines, identify talent gaps, and plan for future leadership transitions.
• Saba Cloud – A talent management solution that offers tools for leadership development,
succession planning, and performance management.
136. The Role of Succession Planning
• Definition: Succession planning is a process of identifying and
developing potential future leaders within an organization to ensure a
smooth transition and long-term success.
• Importance: It ensures that the organization has a pipeline of ready
talent to step into key roles when needed.
137. Key Components of Succession Planning
• Identification of Critical Roles
• Recognize positions that are crucial to the organization's strategic goals.
• Assessment of Internal Talent
• Identify high-potential employees who can grow into leadership roles.
• Development Programs
• Design training and mentoring programs to nurture future leaders.
• Career Pathing
• Help employees understand the trajectory for career progression and leadership roles.
• Continuous Monitoring and Evaluation
• Regularly assess the progress of succession plans and make adjustments as necessary.
138. The Benefits of Succession Planning
•Sustains Leadership Continuity
Minimizes disruptions during leadership transitions.
•Reduces Recruitment Costs
Promotes internal talent, reducing the need for expensive external hiring.
•Enhances Employee Engagement
Provides employees with career development opportunities.
•Mitigates Risk
Prepares the organization for sudden departures, retirements, or
unforeseen leadership gaps.
139. Linking Manpower Inventory and Succession Planning
Manpower Inventory as the Foundation
• The manpower inventory helps identify and track potential leaders for succession
planning.
Identifying Gaps in Leadership
• Both processes work together to fill leadership gaps through internal development or
external recruitment.
Future-Proofing the Organization
• Using manpower data to ensure the organization is ready for leadership challenges.
140. Learning Activity1
Case Study: Leadership Succession at TechSolve Corporation
Background: TechSolve Corporation is a fast-growing technology company that specializes in developing innovative software solutions for
businesses. Over the past five years, TechSolve has seen rapid growth, expanding into new markets and increasing its employee base. The
company is now preparing for future leadership transitions, especially within its senior management team.
Currently, the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) are all
in their late 50s and are expected to retire in the next 3 to 5 years. The company's Human Resources (HR) team has conducted an initial
review of the leadership team but is uncertain about the organization's ability to maintain strong leadership after these key figures retire.
The Challenge: TechSolve’s HR department has identified a potential leadership gap, as there are no clear internal candidates ready to step
into the roles of CEO, COO, or CTO. Many of the current senior management team members have been with the company for several years
but have not been groomed for top executive positions. Moreover, TechSolve's leadership development program is still in its early stages, and
the company lacks a formal succession plan for these high-level roles.
Current Situation:
•The CEO, COO, and CTO roles are essential to the company's strategy, and the organization cannot afford a leadership vacuum.
•The senior management team has a few promising candidates in middle management, but they lack the necessary experience or training to
step into top leadership positions.
•HR has not yet created a comprehensive manpower inventory or succession plan for the company.
141. Learning Activity1
Group - Case let Discussion
Task: In your small group, discuss the following questions:
1.Manpower Inventory: Based on the case study, what key leadership
roles are most critical for the future of Tech Solve? What qualifications,
experience, and skills should future leaders have?
2.Succession Planning: Identify potential internal candidates who could
be developed for leadership roles. What steps would you take to
develop these individuals? How would you ensure that TechSolve has a
strong leadership pipeline for the next 3 to 5 years?
143. Summary and Key Take aways
• Manpower inventory is essential for understanding current workforce capabilities.
• Succession planning ensures leadership continuity and long-term organizational success.
• The Interconnectedness of Both : Effective succession planning relies on a comprehensive
manpower inventory to identify and develop future leaders.

Editor's Notes
#48:Duties and tasks: The type, frequency, and complexity of performing specific duties and tasks.
Environment: Work environment, such as temperatures, odors, and hostile people.
Tools and equipment: Tools and equipment used to perform the job successfully.
Relationships: Relationships with internal and external people.
Requirements: Knowledge, skills, and capabilities required to perform the job successfully.
#108:Demand changes: Companies might adjust their teams' size to meet the demand that changes seasonally or with consumer trends. For instance, retail stores typically hire more staff ahead of the holiday season.
Supply changes: If a company depends on a particular material or good to operate, it may make staffing adjustments as supply changes. For instance, a computer manufacturing plant may reduce its operations for a few months amid a microchip shortage.
Market changes: Economic and market changes may affect how many employees a company can have. For instance, a state law increasing the minimum wage might result in some companies planning to fill fewer positions.
Internal staff changes: When employees retire, earn promotions or receive terminations, their employers respond accordingly. Since most companies know ahead of time who in their organization is changing roles or departing, they can forecast necessary replacements.
Resource availability changes: Companies' available resources often change, affecting their staffing capacities. For instance, a growing company may purchase additional office space and have more money to spend on the employees to fill it.
