Kindly help me as I have a project on this topic.

Differences in Human Resource Planning Practices Between Small and Large Companies

What differences would there be in small and large companies' Human Resource planning practices in the context of:

1. Manpower Planning
2. Compensation Scheme
3. Career Management Policies

In small companies, manpower planning may be more informal and flexible due to the smaller workforce size, whereas large companies may have structured and detailed manpower planning processes in place. Compensation schemes in small companies may be more personalized and based on individual performance, while large companies may have standardized and tiered compensation structures. Career management policies in small companies might focus on individual growth opportunities and skill development, whereas large companies may offer more formalized career paths and advancement opportunities.

The difference would lie in quantity, not in the core tasks, just like in a small company where manpower planning may be handled by an individual known as the MPP Manager. In contrast, in large companies, the same task would be the responsibility of an MPP Team, comprising the MPP Manager, MPP Assistant Manager, Structure Review Team, and Junior Level Executives.

As you have mentioned that you are working on a project related to this, you will need to conduct descriptive research. I have some project reports in the HR domain that may be helpful to you. Please contact me via email or on the provided number for further assistance.
