Precursors to human resource planning in the public sector

Article Abstract:

Any form of planning whether it is called business, strategic, short- or long-term planning is vulnerable to flaws but is an activity organizations must do. It also applies to specific organizational functions including human resources (HR) management. Managers prior to creating a plan must first know themselves, which in itself is a rather vague process. A study provides some practical guidelines to this process by describing how one HR unit conducted a comprehensive needs assessment to 'know itself' prior to implementing a plan.

The implementation of OD intervention has increased the confidence of the employees in terms of handling works that are previously handled by other co-workers, such as establishment of action plans. It has also stimulated employees to participate more on work environment analysis through open dialogue and collaborative work.
