Manpower planning:
Manpower Planning which is also called Human Resource Planning consists of putting the right number of people, the right kind of people at the right place, right time, doing the right things for which they are suited for the achievement of goals of the organization. Human Resource Planning has got an important place in the arena of industrialization. Human Resource Planning has to be a systems approach and is carried out in a set procedure. The procedure is as follows:
- Analyzing the current manpower inventory
- Making future manpower forecasts
- Developing employment programs
- Design training programs
Analyzing the current manpower inventory:
Once the factors affecting the future manpower forecasts are known, planning can be done for the future manpower requirements in several work units. The Manpower forecasting techniques commonly employed by the organizations are as follows:
- Expert Forecasts: This includes informal decisions, formal expert surveys and
unique techniques.
- Trend Analysis: Manpower needs can be projected through extrapolation
(projecting past trends), indexation (using base year as a basis), and statistical
analysis (central tendency measure).
iii. Work Load Analysis: It is dependent upon the nature of workload in a
department, in a branch, or in a division.
- Workforce Analysis: Whenever production and time period has to be analyzed,
due allowances have to be made for getting net manpower requirements.
- Other methods: Several Mathematical models, with the aid of computers, are
used to forecast manpower needs, like budget and planning analysis, regression,
and new venture analysis.
Developing employment programs- Once the current inventory is compared with future forecasts, the employment programs can be framed and developed accordingly, which will include recruitment, selection procedures, and placement plans.
Design training programs- These will be based upon the extent of diversification, expansion plans, development programs, etc. Training programs depend upon the extent of improvement in technology and advancement to take place. It is also done to improve upon the skills, capabilities, knowledge of the workers.
