The Human Resources Planning Society and the construction of career plans are and the back side of the same coin.

The first aims to ensure, in an organizational perspective, the flow of professionals, with a profile in the appropriate quantity and at the right time, enabling the firm to achieve its business goals.

The plans aim to career development, medium and long term, high-potential professionals in the company and thus give them a perspective consistent with their professional ambitions and desire for change.

Only the perfect combination of these two factors will lead to the workforce productive, motivated and identified with the project of the Company.

The planning of resources is part of the planning staff. The Company has to anticipate where, according to their overall strategy, will have a lack of staff, where you can take over the best employment to the people who already have at your service, or assess the impact of new technologies or new ways of organizing work.

The demand for manpower by the company is the development of their business. Internally are to consider situations such as:


    1. the production or marketing of new products;

    2. the entry into new markets;

    3. investments in new equipment;

    4. changes in order to organize the company.



However, the contextual variables of the environment also influence the demand for human resources by enterprises, through, changes in labor legislation, growth or recession in the local or national economy.

The supply of human resources at a given time is made by people in the service of that company and in a global data base:

1. number of employees by department;

2. technical skills and competencies;

3. age;

4. residence time in the company and the current function.

We always have to safeguard the possibility of internal and external mobility.

Comparing supply with demand in human resources, the company may require the removal or conversion of existing staff and the need to recruit additional staff.

Great insight.

Workforce development and planning is something that is much talked about in larger organisations and not really thought about in small to medium size businesses. Even in the big businesses that talk and plan, a lot of the time the plans are not followed through and recruitment is a reactive process rather than a proactive act of workforce and resource planning. Same with succession planning and staff training and career development. It's a constant battle to get managers to be proactive, but when somebody takes the advise and sees the benefits it's all worth it :)
