2. Human Resource Planning (HRP) is both a process and a set of
plans.
Organizations assess the future supply and demand for human
resources.
An effective HR plan also provides mechanisms to eliminate any
gap that exists between demand and supply.
Determines the number and type of employees to be recruited
into the organization or phased out of it.
3. Why Conduct HR Planning?
For more effective and efficient use of human
resources.
For more satisfied and better developed employees.
4. Four Distinct Phases or stages in
Human Resource Planning Process
1. Situation Analysis and Environmental Scanning
The strategic plan must adapt to environmental
circumstances, and HRM is one of the primary mechanisms
that an organization can use during the adaptation process.
2. Forecasting Demand for Employees
This is estimating not only how many but also what kinds of
employees will be needed. Forecasting yields advanced
estimates or calculations of the organization’s staffing
requirements.
3. Analyzing Current Supply of Employees/ Inventory of
Manpower
This is to determine how many and what kind of employees the
company currently has in terms of the skills and training
necessary for the future.
5. 4. Action Plan Development
After analyzing both the supply of and the demand for the
future workers, these two forecasts are compared to
determine what, if any, actions should be taken.
a. Action Decisions with shortage of employees
Overtime
Training and promotion
Recruitment
b. Action Decisions in surplus condition
Attrition
Early Retirement
Demotion
Lay- Off
Termination

6. Human Resource Information
System (HRIS)
An integrated approach to acquiring, storing, analyzing, and controlling the flow of
information throughout an organization.
It is obvious that the key to successful HR planning is information. For big
organizations, traditional techniques for dealing with large amounts of information are
no longer inadequate.
HRIS is a very sophisticated computerized system that allows organizations to
successfully cope with these information demands.
7. Conclusion
HR planning is a very sophisticated job to do and nowadays, there are so
many college graduates battling to be employed. So the tasks of a good
planning are to screen the applicants well in order to make sure that they
are qualified for the job that they are applying for and even though not
everyone will be hired, there is still a lot to improve for the Human
Resource in order to train skills and personality.
8. Recommendation
For more effective and efficient use of human
resources there should be an integrated
approach in treating a huge amount of Human
Resource Information
For some satisfied and better developed
employees, there should be a good Human
Resource Planning in order to train the skills
and competence of employees.
10. HR Planning should not occur in isolation. The
size of the organizations workforce, including
occupational mix, should not be based upon
business plans.

12. Long Range Planning. To survive more than the next year
or two, organizations must engage in long range strategic
plans. Top executives need to formulate corporate
philosophy that identifies what an organization is about,
what it expects to do and why it exists.
Middle Range Planning. These may be stated in terms of
sales, number of units produced or some other index of
business activity. Achieving goals and objectives requires
the proper mix of people.
Short Range Planning. Short range planning often
overlooks the HR requirements. Budgets and economic
forecasts are frequently developed without a careful
analysis of whether the HR will be available to achieve
them.

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY and HR

17. CONCLUSION
HR Planning is a long and tedious process that needs patience that is why
we need to have an orderly system in terms of recruiting applicants and
being able to maintain the pool of employees to be hired and be filled upon
the vacant positions in the company.
Hence, in HR planning and recruiting, the use of social media and the
internet is of big help to effectively gather competent employees suited for
the job available.
18. Recommendation
The use of alternatives to recruiting must as much as possible be
avoided in order for us to manage effectively the work force.
There should be an effective management skill for the HR
Manager and the staff to effectively make a plan in hiring
effective and efficient people appropriate for the job.
