HR Planning is taken into consideration as one of the most important elements in a successful HRM programme (De Cenzo and Robbins 1988:79). A careful analysis of all HR Planning activities shows that their effectiveness and efficiency, which result in increased productivity, more satisfied and betterdeveloped employees, depend on human resource utilization. Human resource planning is a key factor in ensuring the effectiveness and efficiency of human resource management. Human resource planning and its connections with the management of human resources represents an important topic as the planning process is the one that creates a proper field in the displaying of all functions of human resources. However, contemporary human resource planning occurs within the broad context of organizational and strategic business planning. It involves forecasting the organization's future human resource needs and planning for how those needs will be met. It includes establishing objectives and then developing and implementing programmes (staffing, appraising, compensating, and training) to ensure that people are available with the appropriate characteristics and skills when and where the organization needs them. It may also involve developing and implementing programmes to improve employee performance or to increase employee satisfaction and involvement in order to boost organizational productivity, quality, or innovation (Mills, 1985). Finally, human resource planning includes gathering data that can be used to evaluate the effectiveness of ongoing programmes and inform planners when revisions in their forecasts and programmes are needed.
