organizations future human resource needs and then developing action plans for fulfilling identified needs

has the right number and kinds of people, at the right place, at the right time, capable of performing their functions.

With required skills

where, when and How

Benefits of Human Resource Benefits of Human Resource PlanningPlanning

Benefits of Human Resource Benefits of Human Resource Planning (Continued)Planning (Continued)

Identifies recruiting needs

Example: yes in next quarter we need 10 skillful person in computer and 5 in managerial skill (with the help of HRP we can do this)

Planning includes ForecastingPlanning includes Forecasting

Demand Forecasting: is a process used in HR planning that entails predicting the number and types of people the organization will need at some future point in time. How?

For Example: How you are anticipating that your this semester result will be good?

Base1: you start hardworking and studying a lot

Base2: your previous result was good this will be the same like that.

Planning includes Forecasting Planning includes Forecasting (Continued)(Continued)

Now, in organizations we use different techniques

to forecast labors:

1: Statistical Approaches, through calculation we have to find the exact number of HR we need in the future

Example: In summer season we need 10 employees and we need 5 in winter season in order to fulfill the demand for the organization

2: Judgmental Approaches, some people can identify something through experience


We are using different statistical approaches:

1: Trend Analysis, a statistical method which can help us to predict the future of something

Example: Last month you use 5kg sugar, before that 4kg, and before that 4.5kg so, logically what you forecast for next month?

(as we know in each month kg is increasing we will take that 6kg for the next month).


2: Ratio Analysis, another method for prediction

Example: Lets take the example of one the hospitals:

Patients= 100

Nurses= 25

Patients/Nurses ratio= 4/1


3: Regression Analysis, another statistical method that each factor is depending on each other

50 150

Customers

Employees

100

It means that the more the number of customers are increasing the more we will need more employees to fulfill the demand of customers
