Thank you

Hello Jazi,
Greetings!
Manpower Planning is the first step where an organisation analysis its manpower need keeping in mind turnover rates, Coprporate policy for promotion and success planning and retrenchment/ super annuation. Once the next year manpower requirement plan is finalised then a recruitment plan is drawn up. A recruitment plan involves - job description, qualification details/ skill level and recruitment sources, dates for recruitmnet and tying up dates with institutions e.tc.
Hope this clarifies the question.
