either offering distinctively different products or services or establishing an exclusive image for quality products and services
– Relies on hiring needed skills.
– Needs a shorter planning time frame in order to be responsive to dynamic environments.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCANNING & SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
FORECASTING THE DEMAND AND SUPPLY OF HR
DEVELOPMENT OF PLANS FOR ACTION
Scanning the External Environment
• Environmental Scanning– The process of studying the environment of the
organization to pinpoint opportunities and threats.
• Situational Analysis – HRM compares needed and available skills for
training, promotion, transfer, productivity improvement and succession planning.
• Environmental Changes Impacting HR– Governmental Influences– Economic conditions– Geographic and competitive concerns– Workforce composition
Assessing the Internal Workforce
• Jobs and Skills Audit – What jobs exist now?– How many individuals are performing each job?– What are the reporting relationships of jobs?– How essential is each job?– What jobs will be needed to implement future
organizational strategies?– What are the characteristics of anticipated jobs?
Assessing the Internal Workforce (cont’d)
• Organizational Capabilities Inventory– HRIS databases—sources of information
about employees’ knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs)
– Components of an organizational capabilities inventory• Individual employee demographics• Individual employee career progression• Individual job performance data
Forecasting HR Supply and Demand
• Forecasting– The use of information from the past and
present to identify expected future conditions.
• Forecasting Methods– Judgmental
• Estimates—asking managers’ opinions, top-down or bottom-up
• Rules of thumb—using general guidelines• Delphi technique—asking a group of experts• Nominal groups—reaching a group consensus
in open discussion
Forecasting HR Supply and Demand (cont’d)
• Forecasting Methods (cont’d)– Mathematical
• Statistical regression analysis (statistic compares the past r/ships among various factors)
• Simulation models (representation of real situations in abstract form)
• Productivity ratios—units produced per employee• Staffing ratios—estimates of indirect labor needs
• Forecasting Periods– Short-term—less than one year– Intermediate—up to five years– Long-range—more than five years
HR Forecasting
Forecasting the Demand for HR
• To develop a forecast of the needs for HR by number and type for the forecasted period
• Estimate no. and type of employees for future
a) External Supplyb) Internal Supply
Demand = Supply
Forecasting supply for HR
• Forecast the availability of HR internal and external supplies.
• Use “skill inventory” : – to assess the current supply of employees
(past and present skills), used for future, and maintained through interview and questionnaires.
Estimating Internal Labor Supply for a Given Unit
Managing HR Surplus / Shortage
Action when Surplus of employeesi) Layoff - Suspension or termination of employment (with or without notice) by the employer due to management problems. (merit & seniority)ii) Early retirement – encourage employees to leave org. early.iii) Restrict Attrition & freeze hiring – not replace the jobs been left out (quit @ retire), and those remain in the co. will be given more tasks.iv) Reduced Hours of work
Suggestion to deal with downsizing Investigate alternatives to downsizing Involve those people necessary for success in the planning for
downsizing Develop comprehensive communicate plans Nurture the survivors Outplacement pays off
Action When Shortage of Employees• Promote Overtime - ask the workers to
work after the standard working hours• Hiring New employees• Hire contingent worker – subcontract,
contract, part time
• Outplacement services– A group of services provided to the displaced
employee – to give them support and assistance.
– E.g. personal career counseling, resume preparation, interviewing workshops and referral assistance.
