Hello,
I may not be able to answer all your questions, but I shall attempt a few.
1. What is Human Resource Plan?
Human Resource Plan is a program/design by which an organization lists down the process by which it should move from its current manpower position to its desired manpower position, which is required to meet the objectives of the company. It foresees the HR requirements of an organization and future supply of Human Resources.
2. Who is in charge of the Planning?
HR Manager provides inputs like key HR areas, HR environmental constraints, and internal HR capabilities and HR capability constraints to the corporate strategists. The corporate strategists, in turn, communicate their needs and constraints to the HR manager. They mutually work out a plan which satisfies both their requirements.
3. What is the procedure involved?
HR Plans are mainly divided according to the period of applicability:
a. Strategic Planning - 5 or more years
b. Intermediate Planning - 3-5 years
c. Operational planning - 12 months
d. Activities Planning - daily and weekly
a. Strategic Planning: Analysis of issues raised by external factors. Employment demand projection, manpower supply analysis, and projection.
b. Intermediate Planning: Forecasting total staffing level, Forecasting number of managers and key personnel, Forecasting net changes in managers and key personnel, year by year.
c. Operational Planning: Detailing of HR activities that are incorporated in the one-year business plan.
d. Activities Planning: Day-to-day HR activities.
4. What is the importance of HR planning to the company?
Benefits of HR Planning to the company:
a. It checks the corporate plan of the organization.
b. It offsets uncertainty and change.
c. It provides scope for advancement and development of employees through training.
d. It helps to anticipate the cost of salary enhancement and better benefits.
e. It helps to control all functions, operations, and the cost of Human Resources.
f. It helps to plan for physical facilities, working conditions, and volume of fringe benefits like canteen, schools, conveyance, etc.
I hope I was able to shed some light on some of your doubts.
