COURSE OVERVIEW:

Human resource planning is the process (including forecasting, developing and controlling) by which an organisation ensures that it has the right number of people and the right kind of people at the right places at the right time doing work for which they are economically most useful.

HR planning is a highly important and useful activity. Without clear-cut planning, an estimation of the organisation’s human resource needs is reduced to mere guesswork. If used properly, it offers a number of benefits.

Failure in HR planning will be a limiting factor in achieving the objectives of the organisation. If the number of persons in an organisation is less than the number of persons required, then, there will be disruptions in the work—production will be hampered, the pace of production will be slow and the employees burdened with more work.

If on the other hand, there is surplus manpower in the organisation, there will be unnecessary financial burden on the organisation in the form of a large pay bill if employees are retained in the organisation, or if they are terminated the compensation will have to be paid to the retrenched employees.

Therefore, it is necessary to have only the adequate number of persons to attain the objectives of the organisation. In order to achieve the objectives of the organisation, the HR planner should mind the timing and scheduling of HR planning.

The first part of this course explains the objectives of human resource management and the importance role of HRM. Then discusses the evolving role of HR. Also the HR audit, its needs, scope and process is examined.

The second part defines human resource planning. Then discusses the process and objectives of human resource planning. Then examines the job analysis and description.
