Summary of the Report

The main objective of having human resource planning is to have an accurate

number of employees required, with matching skill requirements to accomplish
organizational goals. Human resource planning addresses the issue of selecting and
hiring employees with poor qualities and lack of required skills, qualification, and
capabilities. This also helps to ensure that supply of workers go smoothly as the number
of employees retire and die get larger and the only way to replace them is to hire and
select new employees suited to the job.

Technological changes affect and influence how the management and

employees work in an organization. The higher technological skills required, the higher
the qualification of employees are. The employees must be continuously growing and
developing with the trainings provided by the management. It is human resource
planning that enables organizations to cope with such changes.

The need for human resource planning is also felt in order to identify areas of
surplus personnel or areas in which there is shortage of personnel. Then, in case of
surplus personnel, it can be redeployed in other areas of organization. Conversely, in
case of shortage of personnel, it can be made good by downsizing the work force.
Human resource planning is important to organization because it benefits the
organization in several ways.
