The Importance of HR Planning in an Insurance Organization
There were other problems, too. When the company came up with an innovative product, there
was always the threat of big players following its course by releasing a similar product. In
addition, such competition added to the burden on the already overstressed personnel and other
resources. The situation deteriorated fast as people started to quit in droves. Those who stayed felt
insecure. Total confusion prevailed in the entire organization and the employees started losing
confidence in the management.
A meeting was convened to resolve the problem. Ram Narayan too, attended the meeting. He
brooded over the problems. While talking about the changes required to solve these problems, he
advised the top management to formulate a strategic HR plan. For the time being, he suggested
tactical human resource planning. He convinced the management that once the present problems
are solved, the company would have to implement the strategic HR plan.
