Human resource planning is the development of strategies for matching the size and skills of the workforce to organizational needs. It assists organizations to recruit, retain, and optimize the deployment of the personnel needed to meet business objectives and to respond to changes in the external environment. The process involves carrying out a skills analysis of the existing workforce, devising manpower forecasting, and taking action to ensure that supply meets demand. This may include the development of training and retraining strategies. As companies reorganize to gain competitive edge, human resources play a key role in helping companies deal with a fast-changing competitive environment. To be more precise, human resource planning includes gathering data that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing programs and inform the organization when revisions in their forecasts and programs are needed. In fact, the term human resource planning has earned greater importance in the recent year when globalization, new technologies, economic condition and a changing workforce seem particularly important.
