Organizational Growth Cycles and Planning
A mature organization experiences less flexibility and variability. Growth slows down. The workforce becomes
old as few younger people are hired. Planning becomes more finalized and less flexible and innovative. Issues
like retirement and possible retrenchment dominate planning.
Finally, in the declining stage, human resource planning takes a different focus. Planning is done for layoff,
retrenchment and retirement. Since decisions are often made after serious financial and sales shocks are
experienced by the organization, planning is often reactive in nature.
Environmental Uncertainties
Political, social and economic changes affect all organizations. Personnel planners deal with environmental
uncertainties by carefully formulating recruitment, selection, and training and development policies and
programs
Time Horizons
Yet another major factor affecting personnel planning is the time horizon. A plan cannot be for too long on a
time horizon as the operating environment itself may undergo charges. On one hand, there are short-term plans
spanning six months to one year. On the other hand, there are long-term plans -which spread over three to
twenty years. The exact time span, however, depends on the degree of uncertainty prevailing in an
organization’s environment.
Type and Quality of Information

The information used to forecast personnel needs originates from a multitude of sources. A major issue in
personnel planning is the type of information which should be used in making forecasts.
Closely related to the type of information is the quality of data used. The quality and accuracy of information
depend upon the clarity with which the organizational decision makers have defined their strategy,
organizational structure, budgets, production schedules and so forth.
Labor Market
Labor market comprises people with skills and abilities that can be tapped as and when the need arises.
When one talks about labor supply, the following deserve due consideration:
• The size, age, sex and educational composition of the population
• The demand for goods and services in the country
• The nature of production technology
• Employability of the people
