HRP Process

HRP Process

The HRD Manager first studies the

objectives of the organization. Then he

prepares a list of all the activities (jobs) that

are required to achieve the objectives. He

also does Job's analysis.

REVIEW OF ORGANISATION'S OBJECTIVES

The HRD manager then estimates the

manpower requirement of the organization.

That is, he finds out how many people

(manager and employers) will be required

to do all the jobs in the organization.

Estimation of manpower requirements must

be made in terms of quantity and quality.

Estimation of Manpower Requirements

The HRD manager then estimates the

manpower supply. That is, he finds out how

many managers, and employees are

available in the organization.

Estimation of Manpower Supply

The HRD manager then compares the

manpower requirements and manpower supply.

COMPARISON OF MANPOWER

If there is no difference between the

manpower requirements and the manpower

supply, then the HRD manager does not take

any action. This is because manpower

requirements are equal to the manpower

supply.

IN CASE OF NO DIFFERENCE

If there is a difference between the

manpower requirements and the

manpower supply the HRD manager takes

the following actions.

- Manpower Surplus

- Manpower Shortage

IN CASE OF DIFFERENCE

If the manpower requirements are

less than the manpower supply then

there is a surplus.

During manpower surplus, the HRD

manager takes the following actions:-

* Termination i.e. removal of staff.

* Lay-off.

* Voluntary retirement.

Manpower Surplus

If the manpower requirements are

greater than the manpower supply then

there is manpower shortage.

During manpower shortage, the HRD

manager takes the following actions:-

* Promotions

* Overtime

* Training to improve quality.

* Hire staff from outside, etc.

Manpower Shortage

HRP also motivates the employees

and managers by providing, financial

and non-financial incentives.

Motivation of Manpower

The HRD manager must continuously monitor

the manpower requirements. This is because many

employees and managers leave the organization by

resignation, retirement, etc. and new work force must

take their place fill the manpower gap. This helps in

uninterruptible functioning of the organization.
