Human Resource Planning

According to Bowey “human resource planning is an effort to anticipate future business and environmental demands upon an organization and to provide personnel to fulfill that business and satisfy the demand. It is the duty of the senior management to emphasis the importance of human resource planning in an organization. HRP should be integrated with the strategic plans of the organizations. It should be done with the help of the most accurate information that is available. It is necessary to assign the human resource planning with a central unit. First a clear time plan must be prepared. The scope of the activity should also be clearly defined. Only then a proper planning can be done in an organization. Often the firms experience failure because of improper planning. Every activity of an organization to become a success should undergo a proper HRP process. Thus human resource planning is not inevitable in an organization.
