Human Resource Planning Process (HRP)Demand forecasting method-

Managerial Judgment, Work Study, Ratio-trend analysis Delphi technique

Supply forecasting methods- Management Inventory, Skill Inventory, Inflows & Outflows, turnover rate, conditions of work and absenteeism

After this only the HRM department can initiate the recruitment and selection process

Its called by manpower planning, personal planning or employment planning

THE HRP PROCESS

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 improve employees job? Should the routine and boring jobs continue or be eliminated?

How to downsize the organization to make it more competitive?

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

• This technique is the method of forecasting personnel needs.

• It 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.

Supply forecasting measures the no. of people likely to be available from within and outside an organization, after making allowance for absenteeism, internal movements and promotions, wastage and changes in hours and other conditions of work.

Quantify no of people and positions expected in near future.

Clarify the staff mixes.

Inflows and outflows IS= current supply – outflow + inflow

Turnover rate No. of separations during one year

× 100 Avg. no of employees during the year

Conditions of work and absenteeism. Absenteeism is given by no of persons – days lost

After personal demand and supply are forecast the vacancies should be filled at right time with right employees.

Converting HR plan into action. Action programmes are..

Recruitment Selection & placement Training and development Retraining & redeployment The retention plan The succession plan

Recruitment Selection & placement

If Shortage of employees- Do-

Hire new full-time employeesOffer incentives for postponing retirement Re-hire retired employees on part-time basisAttempt to reduce turnoverBring in over-time for present employeesSubcontract work to another companyHire temporary employeesRe-engineer to reduce needs
