Integrating Human Resource Planning with Strategic Planning

Article Abstract:

Public administrators rely on human resource management heavily in difficult economic times. Human resource management is closely related to operational and environmental forecasting. Recent developments in Canada's public administration toward the betterment of human resource planning are reviewed. A major objective of these improvements is the total integration of this planning into the corporate planning system. Human resource planning should originate from the top where primary organizational objectives are formed. The main elements of Canada's Policy and Expenditure Management System (PEMS) are analyzed. The new program, which has been proposed for the federal public service in 1985, is reviewed. It will incorporate attrition forecasting, environmental scanning, organizational modeling, occupational analysis and quality data bases. Over 200,000 of Canada's public service employees will be affected.

Foreign policy planning and coordination in Canada: the policy planning staff at External Affairs

Article Abstract:

This paper considers policy planning from the perspective of practitioners. It examines the evolution of policy planning in comparison with planning staffs' original objectives. It contrasts the practice of policy planning at External Affairs with policy planning theory, and argues that policy planners' contribution to the policy process lies less in forecasting or futurology and more in policy integration, challenging existing policy, developing new initiatives, and serving the department's policy-making machinery.
