manpower planning

Manpower planning is the process organizations use to ensure they have the right number of employees with the right skills at the right time. It involves forecasting future staffing needs based on company goals, workload, and market conditions, then determining how to meet those needs through hiring, training, or reallocating existing staff. This helps prevent shortages or surpluses of personnel, ensuring the organization operates efficiently and can adapt to changes. Overall, manpower planning aligns the organization’s workforce with its strategic objectives, supporting growth and stability.
