HRP occurs within the context of the organization. “The extent to which it is used, and the approach
adapted, will be contingent on the extent to which management reorganizes that success depends on fore casting
future people requirements and implementing plans to satisfy those requirements”, according to Michael Arm
Strong (2008). The approach will also be affected by the degree to which it is possible to make accurate
forecasts. Organization working in difficult environments in which future activity levels are impossible to
predict may depend on adhoc and short term measured to recruit and keep people. However, even these
businesses may benefit from those aspects of human resource planning that are concerned with policies for
attracting and retaining key staff.
