- Approaches to HR- Planning
HR- planning is the process of determining an organization's human resource needs. It has three approaches. They are: quantitative approach, qualitative approach, and mixed approach.
Quantitative approach
This is traditional approach. It is management-driven approach. It is also known as top-down approach and hard approach. As name implies, it gives focus on required numbers of employees rather than personal aspect of individual. Quantitative approach of HR- planning is foundation of Human Resource Management Information System (HRMIS), Demand Forecasting Technique (DFT), and Work Study Technique (WST).
HRMIS: Human resource management information system gives information about name, post, qualification, experience, remuneration and allowance, performance and updated human resource inventory. Computerized HRMIS facilitates in formulation of HR- planning.
DFT: Trend analysis, mathematical models, economic model, Markov analysis, etc. are major demand forecasting techniques.
WST: Work-study technique determines the work standard of employees/people. Observation, interview, diary, etc. are used as work-study techniques.
Qualitative approach
Qualitative approach is employee-driven. It is also known as bottom-up approach and soft approach. As name implies, it gives focus on personal aspect of individual rather than required numbers of employees.
Qualitative approach of HR- planning is concerned with–(i) matching organizational needs with employee needs, (ii) remuneration and incentive plans, (iii) recruitment, selection, development of employees, (iv) career planning, (v) promotion and transfer, (vi) employees safety, welfare and working environment, (vii) motivational activities, and (viii) maintenance.
Mixed approach
This is combination of quantitative and quantitative approaches. It balances between qualitative and quantitative approaches. This approach of HR- planning produces better result because it is combined form of qualitative and quantitative approaches
