WHAT IS HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING?

        Human resource planning deals with anticipating staff requirement, taking into action current and likely future demand for skills, and the probable availability of individual with such skills. It is the process bu which a firm determines how a management should move from its current manpower position to its desired manpower position. Through planning, management strives to have the right number and the right kind of people at the right place at the right time to do things which result in both the organisation and individual receiving the maximum long range benefits.

            In the words of Coleman Bruce, “Manpower planning is the process of determining manpower requirement and the means for meeting these requirements in order to carry out the integrated plans of the organisation.”

           In the words of Dale S. Breach, “Manpower planning is a process for determining and assuring that the organisation will have an adequate number of qualified persons, available at the proper times, performing job which meet the needs of the enterprise and which provide satisfaction for the individuals involved”
             
               According to Robbins and Coulter, “Human resource planning is the process of which management ensures that it has the right number and kinds of people in the right place, and at the right times, who are capable of effectively and efficiently completing those that will help the organisation achieve its overall objectives.”
