Human Resource Planning and Recruiting
1. The HR Planning Process
While these and other factors influence the specifics of an HR plan, all effective HR planning shares certain features. It is generally agreed that HS planning involves four distinct phases or stages.
• Situation analysis or environmental scanning
• Forecasting demand for human resources
• Analysis of the supply of human resources
• Development of plans for action
Situation Analysis and Environmental Scanning
The first stage of HR planning is the point at which HRM and strategic planning initially interact. 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. For example, rapid technological changes in the environment can force an organization to quickly identify and hire employees with new skills that previously weren't needed by the organization. Without an effective HR plan to support the recruitment and selection functions in the organization, it would be impossible to move fast enough to stay competitive.
The problems associated with changing environments are greater today than ever before because success now depends on an ability to be a “global scanner”. Global scanning is, in fact, considered one of the essential skills for managers of the 1990s.
