What is HR planning?
According to Crane (1974) in Rudman (2002) HR planning is concerned with much more than efficient recruitment of new or replacement employees – so that organisations have “the right number and kind of people in the right place, at the right time, doing things for which they are economically most useful”.
Human resource planning is the systematic and continuing process of analysing an organisation’s human resource needs under changing conditions and integrating this analysis with the development of personnel policies appropriate to meet these needs.
