There may also be a need to further develop and refine plans for the strategies that are
going to be employed and this may result in separate, or integrated, staffing plans,
training plans etc.
But HR planning is more than just a numbers game: it also involves identifying the organization’s HR management goals and expected results, identifying strategies and activities to achieve those goals, and measuring organizational progress towards their achievement. Organizations that engage in this level of planning do so because they are aware of and want to profit from the direct, positive link between certain “good” human resources management practices and overall organizational business performance.
