HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING DEVELOPMENT

QUE..1.Imp Define Manpower Planning. What are the activities involved inmanpower planning? Explain the importance of macro level manpower planning inIndia.

Ans. Definition: Manpower planning is a primary resource without manpower resources,

Physical and financial etc. cannot be put into use. Manpower Planning is also known asHuman Resource Planning.

According to Strainer “Manpower Planning is the strategy for the acquisition movement andpreservation movement and preservation of an organization’s human resources.”

Activities required for Manpower Planning: Manpower planning consists of a series ofactivities, listed as following ways.

1. Forecasting future manpower requirements: Forecasting future based on judgmental estimates. Mathematical projections are done extrapolating factors like

Economic environment, development trends in industry etc. On the other handJudgmental estimates are done depending on the specific future plans of a company bymanagerial discretion which is based on past experience.

2. Preparing an inventory of present manpower: Such inventory contains data abouteach employee’s skills, abilities, work preferences and other items of information.

3. Anticipating problems of manpower: This can done by projecting presentresources into the future and comparing the same with the forecast of manpowerrequirements. This helps in determine the quantitative and qualitative adequacy ofmanpower.

4. Meeting Manpower requirements: This can be achieved through planning,recruitment and selection, training & development, introduction and placement<

promotion and transfer, motivation and compensation to ensure that future manpowerrequirements are correctly met. 5.

HRP are both macro and micro level issues. Macro level includes demographic changes, legalcentral, policies and markets technology etc. Micro level includes organizational restructuring,skill, strategic objective, trade unions etc.Macro is uncontrollable factor and Micro level is controllable factor.Macro Level plays an important level in India. Development of human resources is one ofthe important objectives of any country for long term economic growth. For a developingeconomy like India such important is for more. This is more visible from our economic planningas governments over the years have been giving increasing priority to population planning andcontrol, education, health, housing etc.

1) Population Planning and control: To enforce control over population explosion toq Economic imbalances, population planning and control measures have beeninitiated by the Government. Unless such control is enforced in a planned manner in aplanned manner, no amount of institutional support can sustain this resulting ingeneration of unproductive population which will remain a drain on our nationalresource.

2) Literacy and Education: To develop human resource at the macro level, theGovernment of India has adopted a National Policy on Education in 1986. The policyprovides a broad framework for complete eradication of illiteracy in the country bydeclaring basic primary level education up to standard V, free and compulsory tostrengthen institutional infrastructure for education, the policy emphasizes on increasedgovernment and non-government expenditure.

3) Health and Medical-care: health sector reforms are another required initiative dehuman resources at the macro level. In this respect, India has recorded disparity and

regional balances. Although there is an increased allocation of 36.9% in 2000-2001 over1999-2000 for central sector health services, at the state level the situation is verydepressive. Few positive changes in life expectancy ratio, in fact mortality rate, childmortality rate etc.

4) Housing: In housing, Government has renewed its efforts by adopting the NationalHousing and habitat policy 1998. The basic thrust of this policy is to achieve sustainabledevelopment of housing infrastructure through public-private partnership.

Macro level HRP is a complex and dynamic process and it requires longitudinal study tounderstand the results of various policy measures and actions.

Macro level HRP Model divide in two parts:i. The manpower requirement approach (MRA)

ii. The rate of return approach (RRA)RRA is also known as cost benefit analysis of Human Capital.By establishing a linear relationship between the manpower category in different industrygroups and their output, MRA helps us to project the demand for manpower at the macrolevel.Rate of Return Approach (RRA): RRA analysis of human capital is applied to decide theaggregate investment requirement for different skill development.Conclusion: Manpower is a very important source.

QUE..2: Explain:a) HRP Process outline.b) Labour Market Analysis.c) HR Strategies

Ans: a) HRP = Human Resource Planning. Human resource planning processes divide intofour different stages as under:-

i.

Investigation: It sis the primary stage of HRP in any organization try to develop theirawareness about the detailed manpower scenario with a holistic view looking at theircurrent manpower. In investigation SWOT analysis plays a very important role.

ii. Forecasting: The next process is forecasting based on manpower analysis of demandand supply. In forecasting Internal and External factors include – In Internal factors iscareer planning, development, training and succession plan, policies procedure etc. Inexternal factor – Political, Technical, Economic, Social etc. Forecasting means what is tobe done.

iii. Planning and Control of Manpower: third stage is very important. HRP relatedissues like recruitment, training and development. While going for recruitment it isnecessary to understand the job description, which proceed job analysis & job roleunder planning important in skills, knowledge etc. under controlling include Important judgment technique – Delphi, Nominal etc.

iv. Utilization: HRP process success is measured in terms of achievement trend, bothquantitatively and qualitatively. While quantitative achievement is visible fromproductivity trend, manpower cost etc. Qualitative achievement is a subjective appraisalon achievement of organizational objectives.

Imp. b) Labour Market Analysis: Demand, supply and institutions interact in labour marketsand labour economics studies the operation of labour market considering all these issues. Analysis of labor markets are carried out for different occupational segments markets for blue-collar workers, markets for white-collar workers, markets for professional etc.Investigating markets for knowledgeable and skilled workers, differentiating supply and

demand forces in the market, geographic and industrial mobilities, wage pattern etc. are theareas for studying the labour markets.

7/22/2019 OBH313



Page: 3/19

Recently, however macro changes in wages and unemployment over a given period of time,both with in the country and across countries are also studied to synthesize the facts of thelabour market with the basic principles of economics.

Some Important Techniques:i. Wastage Analysis: Manpower wastage is an element of labour turnover. In

wastage include voluntary retirement, normal retirement, resignation, death &

dismissals. Labour Turnover = No. of Employees learning Average no. of employees employed *100

ii. Cohort Analysis: means homogeneous groups. It analysis takes into account thelength of service. Which is an important variable of wastage analysis?

iii. Census Analysis: can eliminate problem, taking into account a cross-section of theorganization i.e. all the age specific wastage rate at given time and applying asmoothing algorithm to the resulting data to identify a general pattern.d) HR Strategies: Strategies a course of action through which an organization

relates itself with environment so as to achieve its objectives. Strategic HumanResource is based approach for management of HR. Framing HR Strategy isbased on vision, mission, Goals, objectives, policy, strategy etc.

HR Strategy factors as under:i. Recruitment and Selection: includes out sourcing, direct recruitment, payroll, multi-

skill attributes etc.ii. Career development: include career mapping, succession planning etc.iii. Performance Appraisal: include training needs, promotion, transfer etc.iv. Training and Development: include Role Models for evaluating training, training

budgets etc.v. Compensation designing: include incentive schemes etc.vi. HRP: include HR information system, Audit, mapping etc.

Levels of Strategy: divide into three parts:-a) Corporate level –corporate level strategy formulated by top management. In

corporate level include –overall scope of an organisation.

b) Competitive or business strategy –These strategies are adopted in order tostrengthen the position of the organisation in the market. how to compete ina market, customer need.

c) Operational Strategies/functional level- formulated for a specific functionalareas to implement corporate or business level strategy.

Conclusion-Strategy is the direction of an organisation.

Change is inevitable and it effects all types of organisation.

Ans ( C) :- Human Resource Valuation Accounting & Metyhod:-Human Resource Valuation:- it divides into 2 categeories

(I) Non-monetary measurement:- Such method in value the classification of HR interms of skills, performance evaluation, development, attitude survey etc. Skill is a

coordinates series of actions to attain some goal. Operationally skills are definedwidely as overt responses and controlled stimulation. Overt responses either verbal,perceptual.

(II) Monetry Measurement:- Such methods include number of techniques:- Capitalisation of historical Cost Method.- Replacement cost method.- Economic value method.- Opportunity cost method.- Present Value method.

Human Resources Accounting:- HRA is the process of identifying, measuring andcommunication data about human resources – HRA maintain a information – Total value of HR,categories, Grades, No. of Employees, Value per employee, cost, development etc.Human Resource Audit::- is a systematic survey and analysis of different HRD functionswith a summarized statements of findings and recommendations for correction of deficiencies .Main objectives of HR audit:-

- To determine the effectiveness of management programmes which facilitate thedevelopment allocation and maintaining of HR

- To analyze the factors involved in HRD.

Ques 4:-Imp Define Career Planning and Career development. Why is it important

for an Organisation? What are the factors & steps, you consider important forsuccessful career planning? Ans:-INTRODUCTION:- Career Planning & development is a holistic approach forobjective description of the career progression path for all levels of employees in anorganisation. Main two concepts are used with different in same organisations in sameorganisation like, career planning for non-executive & managerial level for our purpose we haveconsidered both the terms more in two general, rather than specific sense.Definition:-Career Planning is a sequence of attitudes and behaviour associated with theseries of job & work related activities over a person’s life time. Career Planning evaluate one’sabilities and interests, considering alternative career opportunities, establishing career goalsand planning practical development activities.Career Development::- means the process of increasing an employee’s potential foradvancement and career change.Career Planning is very important for an organisation.

(1) Proper Sequence:- It is a proper sequence of job related activities such jobrelated activities vis-à-vis experience include sale experience at different hierarchicallevel of an individual, which lead to an increasing level of responsibilities, status power,achievement & rewards.

(2) It may be include centered or Organisational-centered:- Individual centered careeris an individually perceived sequence of career progression within an occupation.

For example-In medical profession, we have clearly defined stages of education, intership,residency etc.

Similarly in college teaching we have stages like lectureship, readership and professorship.(3) Integrated Pace:- It is better defined as an integrated pace of lateral management in

an occupation of an individual over his employment span.

Page: 6/19

(4) Progression:- Progression is very precious step in career planning because inprogression include improvement and development only step by step in logical form.

(5) Improvement:- In career planning improvement in morale, motivation, skills,knowledge and ability.

Important factors and steps in career planningFactors:-

1. It is a continuous process.

2. It resources in organisation should also to be communicated to the employees fromtime to time.3. It is a dynamic process.4. It increases in personal skills.5. It increases to updating knowledge activity.6. In increases in improving performance.

Steps/ Process in Career PlanningCareer Planning involves different activities for successful organisation cover importantfollowing steps:-

1. Preparing Personal Skills Inventories:- The first step is to prepare personal skillsinventories, which contains data or employee’s skill and career goals. In addition thereare required data banks, which provide the following information.

- The organisation structure and the persons managing different positions in theorganisation their age, education, experience, goals, authority and responsibility.

- The performance record and ratings, interpersonal abilities of the employees.- Their preferred location, designs and constraints.- Future impression of manpower for expansion or diversification of the company

or for natural- wastages like death, disability, retirement, discharge and dismissal, resignation

etc.In most of the organizations such information is computerized periodically reviseand updated. After preparation of personal skills inventories & additional data, it isnecessary to develop career path for employees.

2. Developing Career Paths:- Career Paths are logical mapping out of jobs, whichrepresent a potential progression that an employee may follow over time. Such mapping of jobprogression are done in the firm of career ladders by clubbing together similar lives ofoccupations in job families. Job families are group of homogeneous jobs i.e. jobs with similarcharacters.For example- Model of career paths for HR Manager

3. Put the Right Man at the Right Place:- The third step in career planning processis to identify suitable employees who have the ability, potential, willingness to take uphigher responsibilities and rise-up the organisation ladder for this most of theorganizations have performance appraisal and merit rating system. This system enables

organizations to compare the performance measures of different individual in terms of job requirement and helps in identifying training requirement, selecting for promotionsproviding financial rewards etc.

Two main steps:-- Impart Training- Review & Counseling

Conclusion:- Career Planning & development is a holistic approach for objective descriptionof the career progression path for all levels of employees in an organisations.

Ques. 5:-Imp Write a short note:-(a) Retention(b) Succession Planning(c) Management Development & Mgt. Dev. Planning

Ans:- (a) Retention:- Retention of the Key-performers is an important strategies issue fororganizations. It is best ensured for those organizations who have a well transparent careerplanning and development initiative. Similarly for internal mapping of managerial vacancies,organizations should also have appropriate succession planning. Succession planning succeeds

management & organisational development.(b) Succession Planning:- Growth & Survival of the Organisation are the responsibilities ofthe top management, to fulfill such responsibilities each organisation needs to planmanagement succession. Succession Planning is done in different times frames to ensure theavailability of right managerial personal at the right time in right positions for continuingorganisational vitality & strength. Most of the Organizations plan for immediate requirementsmatching with their budgets and business plans. This short sight ness leads them to analarming situation, when they find shortage of managerial manpower to man different positionon the organisation, resulting in organisational collapse. To avoid this good organisation try tomake succession planning in 3 different time frames:-

- Immediate (within 1 year)- Intermediate (1 to 5 years)- Long Range (beyond 5 years)

(C ) Management Development & Management Development Programme:- Any succession planning initiative becomes ineffective with executives to enrich theirknowledge and skills so as to make them competent to manage their organizations effectively,Unlike general purpose planning, management development programme aim at developingconceptual and human skills of managers and executives through organized and systematicprocedures. In India, many professional institutes like Administrative staff college of India,Management Development Institute, Indian Institute of Management, Quality ManagementInternational.Characteristics of Management Development:-

- Continues Process- A knowledge updating activity- A vehicle for attitudinal activity.- A stimulant to higher competence- A deficiency manpower

- A self-development processSteps of Development ManagementMDP covers 3 important components selection, intellectual conditioning and supervisedplanning.

- To look at the Organizations objective.- To ascertain the development needs- To appraise the present performance of managerial stiff.

- To propose manpower Inventory.- To plan & establish trainings development Programme.- To evaluate different programmes as above.-

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ques 6:- What is manpower Demand and supply analysis? Discuss the models andtechniques relating to it. (Man Power Planning Model)

Ans:- Introduction:_ Manpower is primary resource without which other resourcesphysical & financial cannot be put into use. Manpower main aims at:

- Balancing Demand, Supply, distribution and allocation of manpower, controlling

cost of human resources, formulating policies on transfer, succession.Demand Analysis:- It helps to identifying work force of the future in line with the vision,mission, objectives, goals & strengths of an organisation. Critical inputs from demand analysiscontribute to development of competency model for work force of the future.Supply Analysis:-It is done considering work force, demographic, occupations, grade,structure, race, origin, gender, age, service experience, education, training, health status,retirement time & similar other information trends and present workforce competencies. Ithelps to understand the existing workforce status.Techniques/ Modals:- Analysis of manpower Supply techniques are:-

(A) Wastage Analysis---- manpower wastage is an element of labour turnover.Therefore, it is not labour turnover per se, wastage is severance from theorganisation, which includes voluntary retirements, normal retirements,resignations etc.

Different methods of Wastage Analysis:-(i) Labour turnover Index:-

= Number of employees Leaving X 100

AVG. NO. OF EMPLOYEES Employed\

(ii) Stability Index:-Number with more the 1 year service now X 100

Total employed one year ago

(B) Cohort Analysis:- Cohort means homogeneous groups. It takes into accountthe length of service, which is an important variable of wastage analysis. It ismore accurate for a small homogeneous group.

(C) Census Analysis:- It can eliminate this problem, taking into account a cross-section of the organisation, i.e. all the age specific wastage rates at a given timeand applying a smoothing algorithm to the resulting data to identifying a generalpattern.

Under Census Analysis 3 sets of data:-

- The number of employees at the beginning of the census.- The number of employees at the end of the census.- The number of leavers during the census period.

MODELS

7/22/2019 OBH313



Page: 9/19

(1) Manpower Planning Models:- Use of Mathematical Models for manpower planning datesback 1779, when John Rowe developed an actuarial model for planning careers in the RoyalMarines (Johan 1964).Manpower systems are described in terms of stocks and Flows.Stocks are divided into = sex, age, length of service etc.Flows are recruitment, promotion, wastage, transfers etc.(a) Markov Models – Hierarchical systems:-In hierarchical systems routes for the

employers, which is the promotion ladder, are well defined. It means every employees elevateshimself in the organisation through a well-defined career path. All employees start in an organisation at the bottom rung & climb – up the ladder one at atime. Any wastage is falling off the ladder.

According to Young & Almond (1961) :- Devised a hierarchical manpower system,framing sub-groups on the basis of salary grade and length of service.

(b Renewal Model:- This model is issued to predict the various flows in the organisation,when size of the stocks is fixed in advance.

(c ) Cambridge Model:- This model concentrates steady-state age distribution i.e. staffdistribution by age which remains unchanged year to year.

(d) Simulation:- To simulate is to initiate. In general terms, simulation in values developing amodel of some real phenomenon and then performing experiments on the model evlaved.Four Phases of the Simulation Process

- Definition of the Problem & Statement of objectives- Construction of an appropriate model- Experimentation with the model constructed- Evaluation of the results of simulation

(e) Replacement:- Replacement is called for whenever new equipment offer moreefficient or economical service than the old existing one. For example: The old equipmentmight fail and work no more, or is worn out and needs higher expenditure on its maintenance.The problem in such situations, is to determine the best policy to be adopted with respect toreplacement of the equipment.

Ques 7:- Imp Write short notes on:-(a) HRD Climate Culture(b) Performance Planning(c) Potential Appraisal(d) Forecasting HR/ Manpower Requirement

Ans:- (a) HRD Climate:-HRD Climate is the perception of the employees about the

prevailing HRD Culture in the organisation to understand the HRD Climate, Organisation of teninstitutes a survey with a structured questionnaire. Analysing survey responses, it is possible tomap the HRD Climate, conveying all the enabling practices mentioned carrier.

HRD Culture:-HRD Culture is the set of the important understandings that members of

a community share in common. It consists of patterned way of thinking, feeling and reacting

that one acquired by language and symbols that create distinctiveness among human groups.HRD facilitates development of an enabling culture in an organisation. In a changingenvironment, organizations are required to go for frequent reconstructing & re-designing of

activities. HRD characterized OCTAPACE openness, Confrontation, Trust, Autonomy,Proactiveness, Authencity, collaboration, experiments.(B) Performance Planning:- Performance planning means the degree of extent withwhich an employee applies his skill, knowledge and efforts to a job. Performance planninganalysis reviewer evaluation of performance or behaviour analysis an employee.Functions of Performance Behaviour

- It helps in understanding the attributes & behaviours of employees.

- It helps to develop & justify a reward system, relating rewards to employeeperformance.- It helps to identify the strengths and well weakness of employees and to decide

on proper placement & promotion. (SWOT)- It helps to develop suitable training and development programmes for enriching

performance of the employees.( C) Potential Appraisal :- It is a holistic approach for studying wholesome qualities of anemployee with a given intellect, personality & character. Industry practices apply two widelyused approaches for potential appraisal i.e. Helicopter and Whale person qualities. Helicoptermethod tries to measure the potentially of a person on large as well as specific issues. WhalePersons qualities method measures the Wholesome qualities/ potentialities of a person with agiven set of variables, mentioned above, which are already determined for the person potentialappraisal data is extremely useful for career planning as the latent abilities of an individual canbe captured and matched with the future role and responsibilities(D ) Forecasting HR:- Forecast the manpower requirements at different points of time,work looked analysis is extremely important. Analysis of present and future work load dependson the possibility of qualifying the work content in every area of an organisational activity. “Manpower requirements may change due to changes in output volume or mix, which calls foranalysis of performance.STEPS

- Forecasting the number of jobs.- Converting the projected jobs in man-hours.- Converting the man-hours into manpower requirement.

Manpower demand forecasting is influenced by two important factor:-- Volume of output.- Level of productivity

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ques. 8:- Imp.What is career development? Why is it important for an organisation?Explain cycle/ stages of career development process.

Ans. Definition:- Career Development means the process of increasing an employee’spotential for advancement and career change. It is a systematic process of guiding themovement of human resource of an enterprise through different hierarchical positions.

Importance of Career DevelopmentCareer Development is very important for organisations:-

(1) Changing environment is now making jobs more complex. A suitable careerdevelopment programme enables employees to be better prepared for future position inthe organisation.

(2) Career development programme enables the organisation to receive maximumcontribution from employees. Since this helps employees to enhance their skills forhigher positionsBoth under utilization of employer’s potential work energy and then underemploymentcan be avoided.

(3) Career development makes employees more adaptable to changing requirements of theorganizations. The requirements may either change due to new technology computer,numerically controlled technology etc.

7/22/2019 OBH313



Page: 11/19

(4) It provides an objective basis to describe the steps of progression in a givenorganisation and therefore, minimize unfair promotion practices of employees reducingthe chance of promotion by discretion.

(5) Women & other minority classes of employees now also manage most of theorganisations. A career development programme ensures equitable opportunity forcareer progression of these classes of employees also. Thus it meets the requirementsof equal employment opportunities for all.

(6) A career development programme gives opportunities to employees to acquire moreskills, obtained desired jobs, share increased responsibilities, enjoy scope of job mobility& derive increased job satisfaction.

Stages of Career Development Process(1) Exploratory Stage:- The stage starts when a new employee joins an organisation. Anemployee with his qualification and knowledge joins an organization and find himself in anapparent mis-match condition which cannot be set right with the indication programme to theorganisation.

It is essential for the organisation to sustain the behaviour as well asoperational deficiencies to help him to develop in the course of time.(2) Establishment Stage:- After a new entrant chooses his career from different givenalternatives, he needs to be provided with regular feedback on his performance. Suchperformance feedback enables the new employees to understand the effectiveness of hisperformance and at the same time he can also initiate required corrective action to overcomehis functional deficiencies. A successful career development process at establishment stage, therefore is important toretain employees in the organisation and at the same time to develop a sense of loyalty andcommitment to the organisation.(3) Maintenance Stage:- This is a mid career stage for employees who strive hard toretain their establishment name & fame. At this stage employees need to put their continuousefforts for self-development. This stage is crucial and unless the organization adopts suitablecareer development Programme it may face high employee turnover.(4) Stage of Decline:- Employees at this stage being prepared for retirement, get scared fromthe possible threat of reduced role of responsibilities in the organization. Career developmentprocess at this stage. Therefore, should aim at helping the employees to get mentally preparedfor retirement rituals, particularly to prepare them to accept a reduced role & responsibilities,so that they can accommodate with their family and the society in the later part of their life.

Ques 9:- Define Behaviour and Discuss behaviour factor in Human Resource Planning.

Ans:- Definition of Behaviour:- Behavior’s primarily concerned with that aspect of Human behaviourwhich relevant for organizational performance. Behaviour is what a person does. More precisely it canbe defined as the observable and measurable activity of human beings. Activity of human beings theobservable that qualifies under this category shows great variety. It may include anything like decision

making, a mental processor handling a machine a physical process.FACTORS

1. Understanding Human Behaviour:- Behaviour understanding human behaviour in theorganisation. Human Behaviour in organization divide into two parts:-

(i)Individual Behaviour:- First Behaviour, it provides for analyzing why and how an Individualbehaviour in a partial way.(ii)Interpersonal Behaviour:- It provides means for understanding these interpersonal relationship in theorganization. Analysis of reciprocal relationship, role analysis, transactional analysis.(iii)Group Behaviour:- Group behaviour in its norms, cohesion, goals, procedures, communication, leadership.(iv) Intergroup:- Intergroup relationship may be the form of cooperation.

Ques. 11:- Discuss the Importance of HRP. Explain in emerging Trends and issues HRP. Ans:- Introduction:- HRP is understood as the process of forecasting an organisation future demand for andsupply of the right type of people in the right number. It is only after this that the HRM department caninitiate a recruitment and selection process. HRP is a sub-system in the total Organisational planning.

Importance of HRP:-Future Personal needs:- Planning is significance as it helps determine future personal needs. Surplus ordeficiency in staff strength is the result of the absence of a defective planning. All public sector enterprisesfind themselves over staffed now as they never had only planning of their personal requirement.

1. Coping with Change:- HRP enables an enterprise to cope with changes in competitive force, markets,

technology, products and government regulations. Such Changes generate changes in job content,skill demands and number and type of personnel.

2. Creating highly Talented personnel:- Jobs are becoming highly intellectual and incumbents are gettingvastly professionalized. L & T an engineering giant has MBA engineers and technicians who collectivelyconstitute to % of the total employee strength of 20,000. The HR manager must use his/her ingenuityto attract & retain qualified and skilled personnel.

3. Protection of weaker section:- In matters of employment & promotions, sufficient represent need to begiven to SC/ST candidates, physically handicap and backward class citizen. There groups enjoy a given% of jobs, now with standing the constitutional provisions which guarantees equal opportunities of all.

A well conceived personnel planning Programme would protect the interests of such groups.

4. International Strategies:- International Strategies depend upon HRP. The departments ability to fill key jobs with foreign nationals and re-assignments of employees from within or across national borders isa major challenge facing international business.

5. Foundation for Personnel function:- Manpower planning provides essential information for designingand implementing personnel functions such as recruitment, selection, personnel movement, T&D.

6. Increasing Investments in HR:- It means improves in skills and abilities becomes a more valuableresource.

7. Resistance to change and more:- There is a growing resistance among employees to change & more.There is also a growing emphasis on self – evolution of loyalty & dedication to the Organisation. Allthese changes are making it more difficult for the organisation to assume that it can mote itsemployees around anywhere and anytime it wants thus, increasing the importance & necessity ofplanning ahead.

Emerging Trends & Issues in HRPHRP is a holistic process of organizational strategy to gain competitive advantagea.)shortage of skills is now a global phenomena. While for the developed countries, this is primarilybecause of ageing population, for developing countries like India; the problem is absence of properinitiative at the national level. Whatever is being done, now could have been done at least a decade ago.The shift in skill requirements in India was witnessed from 1981 census reports. There was a massive shift

in employment from secondary & primary sectors to tertiary or science sector.b.)Labour market authority in India on the lines of those prevailing in europe. The authority does the jobof matching labour requirement of firms & helping in placements, Such an authority would be useful andcould ensure that labour is not mismatched redundant.

c.)The Institute of applied Manpower research under the ages of the planning commission has done samestudies in the same Sectoral and occupational categories. But these are far from adequate. Decision onskill development at the national level cannot be taken in isolate social sector spending both planned non-plan which includes spending an education also in India, ad %age of total expenditure shows a declinetrend. From 11.14 in 1996-97 to 10.72 in 2000-01.d.)Initiative at the national level are reinforced by organisations at the micro level, through regular skills,renewal efforts, we can’t achieve the desired results.

Another important aspect which deserves the attention of HRP is demographic change process.d.)Indian Organisations are also witnessing a change process in systems, management culture &philosophies and management practices. Apart from economic compulsion, such change process insystems, management culture and philosophies and management practices. Apart from economiccompulsion such change process is the outcome of global aligning of Indian organization.Other emerging issues like restructuring, TQM Practices, changing process, systems, culture &management practices.

Ques 12:- short Note:-

(A) Mapping and Age Group Preference(B) Competency Mapping( C) Reduction & Retention

Ans:- (A) Mapping:- means linkage between two sets of Data. It can be “One to One”, one to many ormany to many.

Age Group Preference:- In many organizations, a particular age group is preferred to other agegroups for staffing vacancies. The idea of preference for a particular age group is based on followingconsiderations:-(i) expected number of year of services.

(ii)

Professional source of supply of required manpower in future.(iii) Personally, dynamism, initiative, challenging attitude etc.

Age is used as an index of stamina and flexibility and fore determining the possible length of service beforeretirement. Although no empirical support, as such is available to relate promotion to preference for agegroup, many organisations as a matter of policy, follow some norms regarding age group vis-à-vis staffing ofcertain vacancies from within. In some cases where the existing employees also contest with the outsiders fora particular vacancy, some relaxation in age is given to them. Thus for the reasons stated earlier, preferencefor age group also influence for age group also influence promotional decisions.

Ans-(B)Competency Mapping:- Comp. Mapping is a map to display a set of competencies. It is futureoriented & it helps to describe an ideal workforce. It is always done in the defined job context. Following is aset of approaches like:-a.)Workforce Skills Analysis:- Skill analysis helps to describe skills required o carry out a function.However, this is a dynamic approach, as it also considers nature of work changes in an organisation.

b.)Job Analysis:- it focus on tasks, responsibilities, knowledge and skill requirements, which are required forsuccessful job performance.

c.)Supply and Demand Analysis:- Supply analysis is done considering work force demographicoccupations, grades, structure, experiment, race, origin, gender, age and present work force competence.Demand analysis on the other hand helps to identify work force of the future in line with the vision, mission,objectives, goals & strategies of an organisation.

d.)Gap Analysis:- is done through solution analysis, taking into account both on going & planned changes inthe work force.

e.)Situation analysis:- also weighs different options to get the work done, either considering institutional orConceptual employment.

(C.)Reduction & Retention:-Definition:- employee separations occur when the employment relationship is ended & employees leave theorganization. Employee separations: office work, force reduction ( a decrease of employees) and employeeretention ( the characteristics of employees who are retained).

The nature of Internal Separations./ Retentions:-

The vast majority of research & practice has focused on the effects of internal staffing on either theemployees who move or the position into which they move. Usually, companies assume that if internalstaffing identifies & selects high performers for future jobs, then the internal employee selection implies aninternal employee separation from the employee’s original position.

Source of Internal Candidates Determinations of Internal Candidates

Internal separations retentions Internal recruiting selection

The effects of the quantity and pattern of such internal separation retentions are expressed through theeffects on the quantity & quality of the retained work force source positions. Through formal attention to thisissue has only recently been advocated suggests.

Current manpower position Future Manpower requirementThe HRP is the process of determining manpower needs in future and formulation plans & taking necessaryaction to meet the needs of human resources. The following are the basic characteristics of HRP:-

(a) Forward looking:- HRP is forward looking and is future-oriented as it estimate the manpowerrequirements for future position in an organization.

(b) Primary Responsibility:- HRP is the primary responsibility of the management as the organizationrequires human resource to run it. All the other factors of productions are put to use by humans.

(c) Continuo’s:- HRP is an on-going continuous process. The demand & supply of HR can never stayconstant. Thus regular updation is required to ensure availability of adequate manpower.

(d) Long term & short term plans:- The requirement & the availability of HR may be for a long term or thestudy may be done for a short term plans generally are made of less then one year. These areconcerned with foiling up of the jobs existing suring this year. However, organization make long termplans as well for a period ranging from one year to five years.

(e) Two-phased:- HRP involved two phases:-

Phase 1:- estimate the Demand for HRPhase 2:- Study for human Resources

(a) managerial Judgment:- Experienced Managers estimate the manpowerrequirements for their respective departments based on their knowledge &expected future workload.

(b) Work study method:- Time & motion study are analyse & measure the workbeing done. It helps in estimating the standard time required per unit of work.The total work calculated is divided by the productive hours per worker in oneyear. This helps in estimating the number of employees required to perform theestimated work load.

(c) Ratio-Trend Analysis:- Ratio between total output / no. of workers, volume/no. of sales person etc. is calculated on the basis of post data.

(d) Mathematical Models:- Relationship between independent variables &depended variables can be expressed using such models for eg. No. ofemployees required depends upon the investment, production, sales etc.

3. HR supply Forecasting:- After estimating the HR requirements, an estimate of theavailable human, resource is done. It helps in identifying the quantity & quality ofhuman resource available within the organization or which may be arranged fromexternal sources.

Supply of HR

Internal Sources External Sources-Promotion - Campus- Transfer - Competitors- Job Rotation - Advertisement- References - Placement agenciesFor judging the internal availability of HR, an HR audit is done which containsdata relating to

- Total no. of employees- Age wise classification- Skill wise classification- Sex wise classification etc.

Once the present resources are assessed, the changes expected due to resignations- discharges- deaths- lay-off’s - termination- promotions- transfers

- ill health- deputations- Absenteeism are evaluated.

Feature Internal Supply of HR = Present Inventory of HR+ Potential additional-potentiallosses.

4. Estimating Human Resource Gaps:- By comparing the demand forecasts & supplyforecasts, the human gaps may be identified.

Demand-Supply Shortage (knowledge/ skills/ aptitude)Surplus

Demand > Supply = ShortageDemand < Supply-=Surplus5. Action Planning:- After identifying the HR gaps, appropriate action plans are prepared to

bridge these gaps.

- Recruitment & SelectionShortage - Training & Development

- Promotion & Transfers- Retraining & new jobs-Redundancy- Retention plans

- - Retrenchment

Importance of HRP:-1. Hrp ensures a smooth supply of right type & right number of employees with adequate

knowledge, experience and aptitudes at all levels and at all time.2. It identifies HR gaps, if any, & helps in the implementation of corrective action plans to

avoid any loss of work or money to the organisation.3. HRP helps in the optimum utilization of the available HR & helps reduce any wastage.4. HRP anticipates any future manpower gaps & motivates the employees by chalking out

plans like a career planning & succession planning.5. HRP also facilitate the provisions the provision of infrastructure in the organization by

giving an estimate of the future head count.
