Process of HR Planning
- Analysing Organizational Objectives
- Inventory of Present Human Resources
- Forecasting Demand and Supply of Human Resource
- Estimating Manpower Gaps
- Formulating the Human Resource Action Plan
- Monitoring, Control and Feedback
Process of HR Planning:
The objective to be achieved given the idea about the work to be done in the organization.
Analysing Organizational Objectives
Process of HR Planning:
From the updated human resource information storage system, the current number of employees, their capacity, performance and potential can be analysed.
Inventory of Present Human Resources
Process of HR Planning:
The human resources required at different positions according to their job profile are to be estimated. The available internal and external sources to fulfill those requirements are also measured.
Forecasting Demand and Supply of Human Resource
Process of HR Planning:
Comparison of human resoruce demand human resource supply will provide with the surplus or deficit of human resource.
Estimating Manpower Gaps
Process of HR Planning:
The human resource plan depends on whether there is deficit or surplus in the organization. Accordingly, the palan may be finalized either for new recruitment, training, interdepartmental transfer in case of deficit of termination, or voluntary retirement schemes and redeployment in case of surplus.
Formulating the Human Resource Action Plan
Process of HR Planning:
It mainly involves implementation of the human resource action plan. Human resources are allocated according to the requirements, and inventories are updated over a period. The plan is monitored strictly to identify the deficiencies and remove it.
Monitoring, Control and Feedback

Techniques in Forecasting HR Demand
- Quantitative Techniques
- Qualitative Techniques
Quantitative Techniques
- Trend Analysis
- Ratio Analysis
- Regression Analysis
Quantitative Techniques:
The increase and decrease on both demand and supply for HR
Trend Analysis
Quantitative Techniques:
Predicts HR demand based on ratios between selected factors and the number of employees needed
Ratio Analysis
Quantitative Techniques:
Determining the relationship between various factors (independent variables) and the company’s employment level (dependent variables)
Regression Analysis
Qualitative Techniques
- Delphi Method
- Nominal Group Techniques
- Scenario Analysis
Qualitative Techniques:
Uses a “middle person” to gather the data of each of the members of the panel who are assigned to make manpower forecasts – considering factors: economics, demographics and technological and social conditions of the environment; added with educational background, experiences and productivity of the workforce
Delphi Method
Qualitative Techniques:
Uses panel of experts, mostly line managers
Nominal Group Techniques
Qualitative Techniques:
Predictions based on the characteristics of a particular situation
Scenario Analysis
Concentration:
Gap Analysis
The process of finding the difference between the forecasted HR supply and HR demand.
Decision Analysis
Concentration:
a. Where HR demand equals HR supply within an organization known as labor equilibrium is an ideal situation but this happens rarely: employees are transferred from one department to another based on their experience and educational background
b. Labor Surplus (supply is more than the demand): attrition – normal separation of employees like resignation and retirement; hiring freeze – prevents new hires; layoff – manual services or functions may not be needed because of technological innovations
c. Labor Shortage (demand is more than the supply): need to schedule overtime work hours and hire contractual/temporary or project-based workers added with external recruitment
