Human Resource Planning, 1990s Style

Abstract

Human resource planning (HRP) is necessary to support the implementation of business strategy. In the rapidly changing context of the 1990s, however, traditional approaches are yielding to more flexible forms of planning. This article describes how companies are using HRP to address the impact of change: simpler, shorter-range planning; a focus on issues; focused data analysis; and emphasis on action planning.
