Outcome Of Forecast
Prediction A single numerical estimate of HR requirements associated with a specific time horizon and set of assumption. Projection It incorporates several HR estimates based on variety of assumption
HR Forecasting Process
Identify organisational goals, objectives and plans Determine HR Demand Ascertain HR Supply Determine the net HR requirements
Develop HR plans and programs to ensure that the right people are in the right place
Determine HR Demand
Requirements of personnel by each subunit
These subunits are to be aggregated Planned future changes to be incorporated Replace non productive paid time State net HR demand State final cost estimate
Ascertain HR Supply
Two supply options-
Internal Supply
Current members of workforce who can be retained, promoted, transferred etc to fill anticipated HR requirements
External Supply
Potential employees who are currently undergoing training
Develop HR plans and programs to ensure that the right people are in the right place
When a forecast of HR demand is reconciled with the current workforce supply of personnel the result is net HR requirement. Disparity results intoHR deficit= HR demand >HR internal supply HR surplus= HR demand <HR internal supply
