Forecasting Stage of Human Resource Management



What does it mean by Forecasting stage of human resource planing. Its mainly depends on determining labour Demand. This might lead in to product, service and demand. Later it will determine labour supply which satisfy internal movements caused by transfers, promotions, turnover, retirement, etc. Also transitional matrices identify employee movements over time. Finally determining labour surplus or shortage became HR stage of  final forecasting.



Before we look at some of the techniques and methods of HR forecasting, lets define some basic terms. First human resources is the department in charge of recruiting, hiring, and training employees. This means they are in charge of staffing the company and fulfilling any employee needs. Human resource forecasting is the process of determining or predicting the needs of the company by means of data and models. Forecasting is used to understand the skills and performance level of the current staff to help identify any gaps where hiring or restructuring needs to occur. By looking at past data and company statistics, the HR department can determine future needs. For example, Laura might look at the trends of past years when the demand for sunglasses increased. If she notices that there is an increase in demand in the spring, she might realise that in the future she should plan to hire more staff at that time. Zeffane, R. and Mayo, G (1994).
