HR planning aims at fulfilling corporate strategies and goals through effective utilization of human resources. As such, it is effectively aligned with the business strategies of the organization.
It is not a solitary act; rather, it is a process involving a series of related activities carried out on a continuous basis.
It not only meets the short-term HR requirements of an organization but also determines its long-term strategies and future directions from the HR perspective.
It is a logical and efficient decision-making activity involving systematic analysis of data gathered in a scientific manner. Thus, it is neither a haphazard nor an ad hoc activity.
