HR Forecasting and Planning---------jaico
The
HR profession has long fought to be recognised at the strategic level –
and there is now increasing evidence to suggest that it has found its
place at the ‘top table’. All that remains is for HR to add genuine
value to the strategy-setting process.
Paul Turner believes that this final element is achieved by pulling the
disparate elements of strategy, forecasting and planning into a single
and systematic process. His model is based on two key components:
— the strategic human resource forecast – which takes the business strategy, analyses its application to HR and projects the scenarios that may arise
— the human resource plan – which takes the decisions made at the
strategic and forecasting level and develops them into a series of
co-ordinated business plans.
This practical book presents a powerful step-by-step model and provides
essential guidance on issues such as: persuading your organisation to
adopt the model; and implementing and managing the key processes. An
essential tool for every HR professional, this book will help ensure the
function realises its full potential in contributing to business
success within any organisation.
