Hmm, well, a very nice question, Deepika.
How are you?
Human Resource Planning (HRP) becomes more important and complex. The human resource planning and the complexities of this system are two sides of a coin, and you need to understand the concept of Human Resource Planning first.
What is Human Resource Planning, and how does this function work? Because from all functions of HR, planning is one of the important tools. This is the first step, and people are the most important resource required to run any business or organization. It is also crucial to understand the need for human resources on time so that neither my organization falls short of resources nor faces a surplus. If the organization falls short of resources, it will not be able to deliver on time to clients; on the other hand, if it has surplus resources, the company will have to bear that cost, affecting the organization's profitability.
Another aspect to consider is that a company needs to plan resources based on the skills required to run the business. Otherwise, there will be a surplus in one area and a shortfall in another, resulting in poor management. Therefore, unless you do correct resource planning, you will not be able to manage human resources properly.
Challenges at the global level:
Creating a global mindset within the HR group, creating practices that will be consistently applied in different locations/offices while also maintaining various local cultures and practices, and communicating a consistent corporate culture across the entire organization becomes a tough job for HR Managers and a significant challenge for this function.
Considering the HR function not just as an administrative service but as a strategic business partner. Companies are involving the human resources department in developing and implementing both business and people strategies. Creating a consistent corporate culture, like communicating to all locations about a common corporate culture, allowing local cultures to maintain their identity in the context of the corporate culture, is essential. Some steps to achieve this include establishing common systems (e.g., accounting, marketing, MIS), providing management with education outlining how the company does business, creating an organizational mission with input from all locations, and creating a written strategy outlining the corporate culture.
As globalization settles, HR emphasis would be on ideas and practices that might be considered more widely, such as initiatives connecting company and industry policies so that training implications are considered as a matter of course, considering the implications for the company of the innovations they are supporting, e.g., industry clusters, incorporating collaboration across country borders, efficient use of the worldwide web to disseminate information and collect data, demonstrating learning from previous experience, attention to resourcing issues, enabling company staff to increase their expertise in new areas, building on established expertise in the company, and seeking to develop new specializations in the company.
Technology-related skills:
- Skills in identifying new applications of technologies
- Skills in developing new technologies or advancing existing technologies
- Skills in identifying technological solutions to problems
Management skills:
- Skills in identifying which innovation outcomes are appropriate for commercialization
- Skills in knowing when and how to market a new product, tool, or process (or other innovation outcome) successfully
- Skills in securing intellectual property rights over innovation outcomes
- Skills in setting up efficient manufacturing processes for new products
- Skills in negotiating appropriate training provision with education and training providers
I've also enclosed a PowerPoint presentation on HRP for your perusal, and I hope that will help you understand the concept of HRP.
Best of luck.
