Planning: Strategic, Human Resources and Employment: An Integrated Approach
Article Abstract:
A six-phase strategic planning process is outlined which utilizes human resources planning and employment planning. This process will help reduce problems with layoffs due to economic conditions. The benefits of planning are listed; however, because planning is difficult, many companies do not plan extensively. The six phases encompass determining present position, looking to the future, formulating strategies, scheduling action plans, assigning responsibility and measuring cost. Human resource planning objectives are detailed in relation to each phase of the strategic planning process. Employment planning is part of phase six where objectives are evaluated.
