INTRODUCTION Today in every organization Human resource planning as an activity is necessary. It is an important part of an organization. Human Resource Planning is a vital ingredient for the success of the organization in the long run. The objective of human resource department is Human resource planning , Recruitment and Selection, training and development, Career planning , transfer and Promotion, risk Management, Performance Appraisal and so on. Each objective needs special attention and proper Planning and implementation. With reference to this context, my project has been prepared to throw light on Human resource planning at the Vijaya Diagnostic Centre to make effective and efficient use of human resources available and requirements of the organization. meet the present and future human resources

NEED FOR THE STUDY Human resource planning is necessary for all the organizations for the following reasons:
6

To carry on its work every organization needs human resources with the necessary qualifications, skills, knowledge, work experience and aptitude for work. These are provided through Human resource Planning.

Human resource planning is essential because of frequent labor turnover which is unavoidable

The nature of present workforce in relation to its changing needs also necessitates the recruitment of new human resources. To meet the challenge of a new and changing technology and the new techniques of production, existing employees need to be trained or new blood injected in an organization.

Human resources are also needed in order to identify the areas of surplus personnel or areas where there is a shortage of personnel

HUMAN RESOURCE PLANNING: Human Resource is the most precious resource for any nation. Deploying the resource without proper training and inductions can lead with less productive results. The same is obvious in Services sector and even needs more substantiation. In many countries, not enough attention is paid to planning for manpower and this is due to lack of qualified manpower planning specialists. HR Planning is not mere having the right people in the right place at the right time. Its about instituting the people related practices and activities that will help the organization achieve, and improve its business results. HR Planning in its simplest form is about answering 4 questions:
What are the business needs? How to meet those needs? What are the requirements to meet those needs? What could be the best strategy required to fulfill the needs? 7

HRP is a forward looking function and an organizational tool to identify skill and competency gaps and subsequently develop plans for development of deficient skills and competencies in human resources to remain competitive. HRP ensures benefits to the organizations by creating a reservoir of talent, preparing people for future cost cutting and succession planning besides creating a back up in case of diversification and expansion. Manpower Planning includes four aspects FDIC

F-forecasting manpower needs, D-developing appropriate policies and programmes for meeting those needs, I-implementing policies and programmes, and C- Controlling these programmes.

Definition: Manpower planning (HRP) is the process-including forecasting, developing

implementing, and controlling by which a firm ensures that it has the right number of people and right kind of people, at the right place, at the right time, doing this for which they are economically most suitable. - E.Geisler Human resource planning includes the estimation of how many qualified people are necessary to carry out the assigned activities, how many people will be available and what if anything must be done to ensure that personnel supply equals personnel demand at the appropriate point in the future. - Leap and Crino

Strategic planning: the systematic determination of goals and the plans to achieve them

Business strategy plans to build a competitive focus in one line of business

Human resource management can be viewed as an umbrella term that encompasses the following: Specific HR practices, such as recruitment, selection, and appraisal Formal HR policies that direct and partially constrain the development of specific practices Overarching HR philosophies, which specify the values that inform an organizations policies and practices Linking HR Processes to Strategy Start with organizational strategy and then create HR strategy. Start with HR competencies and then craft corporate strategies based on these competencies. Do a combination of both in a form of reciprocal relationship Corporate Strategies leads to HR Strategy KPO, BPO, LPO etc.

HR Strategy is HR Planning: All other functions like staffing, training, performance management, compensation management, labor relation, & employee separations are derived from it.

HRP is a proactive function- it scans & anticipates various factors- internal & external to develop a plan It is more important during organizational turbulence M&A, disinvestment

HR Planning always starts with understanding the business needs of the organization

Human resource planning is an integral part of business planning. It`s all about: Identifying and acquiring the right number of people with the proper skills Motivating them to achieve high performance Creating interactive links between business objective and resource planning activities HR Planning is both top down and Bottom up. While HR plans should be based on overall business needs and strategies, they should take into account the needs and realities of organizational units. The HR planning process should involve managers at all levels. An organization's HR plans are usually developed at the departmental or business line level where business directions are set and decisions made. But HR plans are implemented (and adapted) by individual managers in the conduct of their ongoing operations. It is important that managers understand the HR plans and priorities of their organizations so they can guide their actions accordingly. Strategic Manpower Planning is a dynamic, proactive, ongoing process of systematically attracting, identifying, developing, mentoring, and retaining employees to support current and future organizational goals. Strategic Manpower Planning focuses specifically on proactive planning to meet
10

anticipated or unanticipated vacancies due to retirement and other factors for classes that serve as essential elements in meeting your public service mandate. Some of the long and short-term strategies that may support the strategic Manpower Planning process, may be retention, induction Programme, employee assistance Programme, HRP is a forward looking function and an Organizational tool to identify skill and competency gaps and subsequently develop plans for development of deficient skills and competencies in human resources to remain competitive. HRP ensures benefits to the Organizations by creating a reservoir of talent, preparing people for future cost cutting and succession planning besides creating a back up in case of diversification and expansion

Human resource planning, therefore, aims at: Balancing demand, supply, distribution and allocation of manpower, Controlling cost of human resources, Formulating policies on transfer, succession, relocation of manpower. HRP is a planning process by which an organization can move from its current manpower position to its desired manpower position. Manpower planning may be defined as a strategy for acquisition, utilization, improvement and retention of human resources. HRP AT DIFFERENT LEVELS: Different institutions make HRP at different levels for their own purposes, of which national level, sectoral level, industry level, unit level, departmental level and job level are important.
11

National Level: Adjust the supply through its population policy, family planning, educational policy etc. HRP at national level helps to plan for educational facilities, hospitals, employment plans, agricultural and industrial developments etc.

Sector Level: Manpower requirements for a particular sector like agricultural sector, industrial sector or tertiary sectors are projects based on the government policy, projected output/operations.

Industry level: Manpower needs of a particular industry like cement, textiles, chemical are predicted, taking into account the output/operational level of that particular industry.

Unit Level: This covers the estimation of human resource needs of an Organization or company based on its corporate/business plans.

Departmental Level: This covers the manpower needs of a particular department in a company.

Job Level: Manpower needs of a particular job within department are forecasted at this level.

Characteristics of Manpower Planning: Ascertaining manpower needs in number and kind. It presents an inventory of existing manpower of the organization. Helps in determining the shortfall or surplus of manpower. Initiation of various organizational programmes. Acquisition, utilization, improvement and prevention of human resources.

Importance of human resource planning: Human resource planning is of primacy nature and, therefore, it precedes all other HRM functions. Without HRP, no other function can be undertaken in any meaningful way. HRP contributes in the following ways in managing human resources in an organization.
12

It checks the corporate plan of the organization. It helps to face the shortage of certain categories of employees and/or

variety of skills despite the problem of unemployment. It offsets uncertainty and change and helps to have right men at right time

and in right place. It provides scope for advancement and development of employees through

training, development etc. It helps to anticipate the cost of salary enhancement, better benefits etc. To foresee the changes in values, aptitude and attitude of human resources

and to change the techniques of interpersonal, management etc. To foresee the need for redundancy and plan to check it or to provide

alternative employment in consultation with trade unions, other organizations and government through remodeling organizational, industrial and economic plans. To plan for physical facilities, working conditions and volume of fringe

benefits like canteen, schools, hospitals, conveyance, child care centers, quarters, company stores etc. It gives an idea of type of tests to be used and interview techniques in

selection based on the level of skills, qualifications, intelligence, values etc. of future human resources. It causes the development of various sources of human resources to meet

the organizational needs. It helps to take steps to improve human resource contributions in the form

of increased productivity, sales, turnover etc. It facilitates the control of all the functions, operations, contribution and

cost of human resources.


13

Benefits of Human resource planning: Create reservoir of talent Prepares people for future Expand or contract strength Cut Cost Succession planning

Responsibility for Human resource planning: Formulation of human resource plans is a shared task between top management line managers and HR department Top management is involved in HRP process because ultimately, it approves various plans of the Organization as a whole. Functional managers under whom people work.

The responsibilities of HR department in regard to HRP process have been described by Geisler as follows: To assists, counsel and pressurize the operating management to plan and establish objectives; To collect and summaries data in total organizational terms and to ensure consistency with long-term objectives and other elements of the total elements of the total business plan; To monitor and measure performance against the plan and keep the top management informed about it To provide the research necessary for effective manpower and Organizational planning Human resource planning process
14

HRP is a process and it proceeds through various interrelated activities. Forecasting future manpower requirements, either in terms of

mathematical projection of trends in the economy and developments in the industry or of judgmental estimates based upon specific future plans of the company. Inventorying present manpower resources and analyzing the degree to

which these resources are employed optimally;

OBJECTIVES AND LIMITATIONS OBJECTIVES:

To understand the present manpower arrangement in Vijaya Diagnostic Centre using WORK-LOAD ANALYSIS

To design a HRP system for Vijaya Diagnostics centre.

LIMITATIONS OF THIS STUDY: Time and resources constraint Since, the HRP is a wider subject to be dealt with , the present study is confined only to analysis and application using Workload analysis and Markow analysis. Getting information about various aspects for study purpose was difficult. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY For the purpose of study on HRP at VIJAYA DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE data were collected from both the primary and secondary sources.
18

The data source: Primary as well as Secondary. The research approach: Observation Method. The respondents: The technicians and employees of the Organization. Primary data: Primary data needed for the study is collected through interview with employees of VIJAYA DIAGNOSTIC CENTRE and discussion with the staff and by observing their operating procedures. Secondary data: Secondary data is collected from internal records, manuals of the Organization, various textbooks and the website of the organization.

Statistical Tools used:

Workload analysis: Workload analysis techniques are series process to calculate the workload of a position / sub position, and also needs the number of people to fill the position / sub position. Workload analysis is very important to calculate exactly how many employees needed to complete all of tasks in a section or department.

Markov analysis: Markov analysis provides a means of analysing the reliability and availability of systems whose components exhibit strong dependencies.

Figure 2.1 The Economy of India is the tenth largest in the world by nominal GDP and the fourth largest by purchasing power parity (PPP). The country's per capita GDP (PPP) is $3,339 (IMF, 129th) in 2010. Following strong economic reforms from the postindependence socialist economy, the country's economic growth progressed at a rapid pace, as free market principles were initiated in 1991 for international competition and foreign investment. India's large service industry accounts for 57.2% of the country's GDP while the industrial and agricultural sectors contribute 28.6% and 14.6% respectively. [14] Agriculture is the predominant occupation in India, accounting for about 52% of employment. The service sector makes up a further 34%, and industrial sector around 14%. However, statistics from a 2009-10 government survey, which used a smaller sample size than earlier surveys, suggested that the share of agriculture in employment had dropped to 45.5%. INDUSTRY AND SERVICES: Industry accounts for 28% of the GDP and employ 14% of the total workforce. In absolute terms, India is 12th in the world in terms of nominal factory output. Textile manufacturing is the second largest source of employment after agriculture and accounts for 20% of manufacturing output, providing employment to over 20 million people. India is 13th in services output. The services sector provides employment to 23% of the work force and is growing quickly, with a growth rate of 7.5% in 19912000, up from 4.5% in 195180. It has the largest share in the GDP, accounting for 55% in 2007, up from 15% in 1950. MINING forms an important segment of the Indian economy, with the country producing 79 different minerals (excluding fuel and atomic resources) in 200910, including iron ore, manganese, mica, bauxite, chromate, limestone, asbestos, fluorite,
21

gypsum, ochre, phosphorus and silica sand. Organized retail supermarkets accounts for 24% of the market as of 2008 INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND BUSINESS PROCESS OUTSOURCING: These are among the fastest growing sectors, The IT/ITeS sector in India displayed tenacity and resilience during the recessionary years of 2009 and 2010. The sector clocked export revenues of $50.1 billion in the financial year ended March 31, 2010, registering a growth of 5.4% over the previous fiscal. The fiscal year 2010-11 reflected a strong rebound in growth for the Indian IT-BPO industry which is estimated to aggregate revenues of USD 76 billion this year, a growth of over 19 percent from the previous year. FINANCIAL SERVICES The financial sector in India includes services like broking firms, investment services, financial consulting, national banks, private banks, mutual funds, car and home loans, equity market and other banking services. BANKING: The Indian money market is classified into the Organized sector, comprising private, public and foreign owned commercial banks and cooperative banks, together known as scheduled banks, and the unorganized sector, which includes individual or family owned indigenous bankers or money lenders and non-banking financial companies. ENERGY AND POWER India's oil reserves meet 25% of the country's domestic oil demand. India is the fourth largest consumer of oil in the world and imported $82.1 billion worth of oil in the first three quarters of 2010, which had an adverse effect on its current account deficit. The petroleum industry in India mostly consists of public sector companies such as Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL). There are some major private

22

Indian companies in the oil sector such as Reliance Industries Limited (RIL) which operates the world's largest oil refining complex. TOURISM
Hospitality in India is based on the Sanskrit adage Atithi Devo Bhava or guest is god. The concept was adapted by the Ministry of Tourism, Government of India which aims at creating awareness about rich variety of tourism in India.

MEDIA Media and Entertainment (M&E) is one of the fastest growing sectors in India. The sector consists of creation, aggregation and distribution of content, products and services, news and information, advertising and entertainment through various channels and platforms. HEALTH Sector Structure: The art of healthcare in India can be traced back nearly 3500 years. From the early days of Indian history the Ayurvedic tradition of medicine has been practiced. During the rule of Emperor Ashoka Maurya (third century BCE), schools of learning in the healing arts were created. Many valuable herbs and medicinal combinations were created. Even today many of these continue to be used. During his reign there is evidence that Emperor Ashoka was the first leader in world history to attempt to give health care to all of his citizens, thus it was the India of antiquity which was the first state to give its citizens national health care. The Indian healthcare sector is expected reach US$ 280 billion by 2020, according to a report by an industry body. "Healthcare has emerged as one of the most progressive and largest service sectors in India with an expected GDP spend of 8 per cent by 2012 from 5.5 per cent in 2009. It is believed to be the next big thing after IT and predicted to become a US$ 280 billion industry by 2020," the report said.

MEDICAL FACILITIES The total Indian healthcare sector is today 34 billion USD and it is projected to grow to nearly 40billion by 2012. The diagnostic and pathology market is around two percent of the total market. Indian diagnostic market has been growing fast, at 15-20 percent growth rate but there are lots of development needs. The growth rate is estimated to remain the same for the following ten years. As in all India related issues, again the scale is so amazing - as the Indian interviewees put it: it is all about numbers in India! Also funding is always an issue. One of the major driving forces is the basic demographic change: the migration to urban cities, with increasing number of people having access to modern healthcare. Consequently, more and more investments are being made in hospitals and clinical laboratories. However, the rural sector is not to be forgotten.Despite the quick economic growth and increasing number of middle class representatives, India is still a developing country with a huge number of rural inhabitants
24

with massive sanitation problems. The basic market requirement is to come up with more indigenous products with affordable prices, bearing in mind that the usability is also in issue: the diagnostic kits should be easy to use, not requiring a doctor. Medical facilities are classified into two: Medical facilities: The medical treatment in India has depicted a massive growth in infrastructure in the private and voluntary sector. The private sector, which was very unpretentious in the early stages, has now become an affluent industry prepared with the most modern state-of-the-art technology at its disposal. It is expected that 75-80 percent of healthcare services and investments in India are now provided by the private sector. In addition to that India has one of the largest pharmaceutical industries in the world. It is self-sufficient and self- reliant in drug production and exports drugs to more than 180 countries. Using the latest technical apparatus and the services of highly expert medical personnel, these hospitals are in a position to provide a spectrum of general as well as specialist's services. These services are offered at awfully cutthroat prices; cheering patients not only from developing countries but even from a number of developed ones to come to India for medical treatment packages.

Amidst varied general and specialty medical treatment packages the noteworthy packages are as beneath: Bone Marrow Transplant Cardiac Care and surgery package Cosmetic Surgery package Dialysis and Kidney Transplant package Gynaecology & Obstetrics Healthcare facilities
25

Joint Replacement Surgery package Neuro-surgery & Trauma Surgery treatment package Osteoporosis medical treatment package Refractive Surgery package Urology Vascular Surgery package Dental care medical package

As far as the cost of medical treatment packages are concerned, India offer the most competitive treatment package price to the world with its up- to- the- minute medical devices. The prices of different pathological tests range from Rs.50 to 3000. And that depends upon the nature of the test. Now, the specialty hospitals are using Nuclear medicines for treatment. Here radioactive isotopes are injected or administered orally and that is again scanned by sophisticated Gamma camera. So for high quality treatment at lowest possible cost one must select India as his medical treatment destination. Diagnostics facilities: Market Overview: The Indian diagnostic market comprising primarily of reagents and kits is to a large extent import driven. India currently has over 11,500 hospitals and 14,000 diagnostic laboratories. Diagnostics is poised to become a $700 million industry by 2010 with significant improvements occurring in the area of early detection. Reagents and kits will also be major contributors to growth. There is increasing need for indigenous products with affordable prices. Diagnostic Market: Today the total Indian healthcare sector, is currently valued at $34 billion, is projected to grow to nearly $40 billion by 2012. The diagnostic and pathology market is
26

around 2 percent of the overall healthcare market. The diagnostic market has been growing at 15-20 percent and by all indications shall continue to grow for another 10years at this rate The fast growing diagnostic sector opens several avenues for partnership between the Indian and International diagnostic companies. There is huge potential in the clinical research and trials market by combining the unique strengths of Indian and US companies, US companies are the leader in pharmaceuticals and biologics research and development. Indian companies can leverage their extensive expertise in life sciences, the large number of CAP accredited labs in India and the huge patient base to collaborate with US companies in organizing large scale and complex clinical trials at low costs. There is good potential to develop training and accreditation programmes for the Indian market. There is a need to design cheap, high quality equipment for Indian markets and device creative financing options and low cost, effective solutions for the Indian market. Growth Drivers in India: Increased purchasing power among the middle to upper-tier economic groups. Along with the increasing wealth of Indians is the emergence of a more Westernized attitude which brings along also increased health awareness. One important sub-sector are the non-resident Indians (NRIs) who have spent much of their lifetime in the West but often return to India in later stage of life. Medical services in particular have flourished with the establishment of NRI hospital" The arrival of multinational corporations in large numbers to the Indian scene has been accompanied by a similar growth in indigenous corporate entities (in particular ITsector and business process outsourcing (BPO). New corporate mentality brings along employee health issues, especially those of managers and executives. A parallel development has been the progressive expansion of health insurance programs that cover curative, diagnostic, and health screening programs.The rapidly increasing noncommunicable disease burden on Indian population, without forgetting the rural masses who still struggle with a vast number of communicable diseases.
27

Growth Restraints in India: India is a very cost and price sensitive market, i.e. imported products are often too expensive. The healthcare spending of the common people is 65% of disposable income, as the healthcare insurance penetration is still in the initial stages, and according to recent studies, lower income groups need to pay bribes to get access to public health structures (in southern states in almost 65 per cent of cases) Lack of awareness of newer methods and tests among public healthcare personnel and lack of professionals Current use of diagnostics in India: Infectious Diseases Diagnosis Hormones diagnosis Blood Grouping reagents diagnosis Pregnancy diagnosis Cancer Markers Molecular Diagnostics

Opportunities and Challenges: Indian healthcare market is large but still fragmented and underserved. India is one of fastest growing and strongest global economies with about 8 percent growth rate. Our nation has 17 percent Facts that count In India, out of the 60,000 laboratories where testing is done, only 200 are accredited and only 1000 are worth being called as laboratories. By the year 2020, at least 60 percent of in-vitro business will become organized since, though slow, things are moving in right direction. Unorganized laboratories are growing at the rate of 10 15 percent, while the organized corporate chains having less than 10% share of the total market are growing in a much faster rate at 25 30 percent, annually. As on date only 10 percent is organized and though it has taken 40 years to move to 10 percent, this is likely to grow to 50 percent in just next 10 years. The growing middle-class also recognizes the value of pathology testing and is willing to pay for these tests. This is reflected in the over 20 percent CAGR in the last five years in Indias diagnostics industry. The diagnostics industry is highly fragmented with the largest players account for less than 15 percent of the total diagnostics market Facts that count In India out of the 60,000 laboratories where testing is done, only 200 are accredited and only 1000 worth are being called as laboratories.

Interpretation: This department needs one more technician. The Workload Analysis carried out in the Vijaya diagnostics is for a duration of 1 month and when continued for a year the number of personnel required would be 128. The process of HRP usually followed in an Organisation, consists of the following steps: 1. Forecasting the demand for Human resources Most firms estimate how many employees they require in future. The demand for human talent at various levels is primarily due to the following factors :
66

a. External challenges: These challenges arise from three important sources:

Economic developments: Liberalisation, opening up of banking sector, capital market reforms, the on-line trading systems have created huge demand for finance professionals during 1990-1995 in India. Auto components, Healthcare, and chemical industries in a steady manner. Consequently, the demand of Engineering and Management graduates, Scientists and healthcare professionals has picked up in recent times.

Political, legal, social and technical changes: The demand for certain categories of employees and skills is also influenced by changes in political legal and social structure in an economy.

Competition: Companies operating in fields where a large number of players are bent upon cutting each other`s throat often reduce their workforce. Competition is beneficial to customers but suicidal for companies operating on thin margins.

b. Oganisational decisions: The Organisation`s strategic plan, sales and production

forecasts and new ventures must all be taken into account in employment planning.
c. Workforce

factors: Demand is modified by retirements, terminations,

negotiations, deaths and leaves of absence. Past experience, however, makes the rate of occurrence of these actions by employees fairly predictable.
d. Forecasting techniques: The manpower forecasting techniques commonly

employed by modern Organisations are given below:

Expert forecasts: effect.

in this method, managers estimate future human

resource requirements, using their experiences and judgments to good

67

Trend Analysis: HR needs can be estimated by examining past trends. Past rates of change can be projected into the future or employment growth can be estimated by its relationship with a particular index

Other methods: Several mathematical models, with the aid of computers are also used to forecast HR needs, e.g., regression optimization models, budget and planning analysis. To proceed systematically, human resource professional generally follow three steps. Let`s examine these steps as applied in respect of, say a commercial bank.
Workforce analysis: The average loss of manpower due to leave, retirement,

death, transfers, discharge, etc., during the last 5 years may be taken into account. The rate of absenteeism and labour turnover should also be taken into account. The nature of competition say from foreign banks, other non-banking financial institutions may also be considered here to find out actual requirements in a year.

Job Analysis: job analysis helps in finding out the abilities or skills required to do the jobs efficiently. A detailed study of jobs is usually made to identify the qualifications and experience required for them. Job analysis includes two things job description and Job specification.

2. Preparing Manpower Inventory (Supply Forecasting) The basic purpose of preparing manpower inventory is to find out the size and quality of personnel available within the Organization to man various positions. Every Organization will have two major sources of supply of manpower; internal and external.
(a) Internal Labour supply: A profile of employees in terms of age, sex, education,

training, experience, job level, past performance and future potential should be kept ready for use whenever required. Requirements in terms of growth/diversification, internal movement of employees (transfer, promotions, retirement , etc.) must also be assessed in advance. The possibilities of absenteeism and turnover should be kept in mind while preparing the workforce
68

analysis. Frequent manpower audits must be carried out to find out the available talent in terms of skills, performance, and potential.

Markov Analysis: This technique uses historical rates of promotions, transfer and turnover to estimate future availabilities in the work force. Based on past probabilities, one can estimate the number of employees who will be in various positions with the Organization in the future. Skills inventory: A skills inventory is an assessment of the knowledge, skills, abilities, experience and career aspirations of each of the current employees. This record should be updated at least every two years and should include changes such as new skills, additional qualifications, changed job duties etc. Of course, confidentiality is an important issue in setting up such an inventory. Once established, such a record helps an Organisation to quickly match forthcoming job openings with employee backgrounds. b. External labour supply: When the Organization grows rapidly, diversifies into newer areas of operations or when it is not able to find the people internally to fill the vacancies, it has to look into outside sources. To the extent an organization is able to anticipate its outside requirement needs and looks into possible sources of supply keeping the market trends in mind, its problem in finding the right personnel with appropriate skills at the required time would become easier. Organizations, nowadays, do not generally track the qualifications of thousands of employees manually. Details of employees in terms of
69

Staffing level this year for this time next year

knowledge, skills, experience, abilities etc., are computerized, using various packaged software systems. IMPORTANT BAROMETERS OF LABOUR SUPPLY 1. Net migration info and out of the area 2. Education levels of workforce The 3. Demographic changes in population 4. Technological developments and shifts 5. Population density 6. Demand for specific skills 7. National, regional unemployment rates 8. Actions of competing employers 3. Determining Manpower Gaps The existing number of personnel and their skills (from human resource inventory) are compared with the forecasted manpower needs (demand forecasting) to determine the quantitative and qualitative gaps in the workforce. A reconciliation of demand and supply forecasts will give us the number of people to be recruited or made redundant as the case may be. This forms the basis for preparing the HR plan. 4. Formulating HR plans: Organizations operate in a changing environment. Consequently, human resource requirements also change continually. Changes in product mix, union agreements, competitive actions are some of the important things that need special attention. The human resource requirements identified in an organization need to be translated into a concrete HR plan, backed up by detailed policies, programmes and strategies

Recruitment plan: Will indicate the number and type of people required and when they are needed; special plans to recruit people and how they are to be dealt with via the recruitment programme.
70

Redeployment plan: Will indicate the programmes for transferring or retraining existing employees for new jobs

Redundancy plan: Will indicate who is redundant, when and where; the plans for retraining, where this is possible; and plans for golden handshake, retrenchment, layoff, etc.

Training plan: Will indicate the number of trainees or apprentices required and the programme for recruiting and training them; existing staff requiring training or retraining; new courses to be developed or changes to be effected in existing courses.

Productivity plan: Will indicate reasons for employee productivity or reducing employee costs through simplification studies, mechanization, productivity bargaining; incentives and profit sharing schemes, job redesign, etc.

Retention plan: Will indicate reasons for employee turnover and show strategies to avoid wastage through compensation policies; changes in work requirements and improvement in working conditions

Control points: The entire manpower plan be subjected to close monitoring from time to time. Control points be set up to find out deficiencies, periodic updating of manpower inventory, in the light of changing circumstances, be undertaken to remove deficiencies and develop future plans.

The existing number of personnel and their skills (from human resource inventory) are compared with the forecasted manpower needs (demand forecasting) to determine the quantitative and qualitative gaps in the workforce. By determining manpower gaps Vijaya Diagnostics can estimate the required manpower for the present and future needs. This forms the basis for preparing the HR plan.
75

Determining manpower requirements at Vijaya diagnostics:


1. Number required at the beginning of the year 2. Total requirements at the end of the year : 718 3. Number available at the beginning of the year 4. Additions (transfers, promotions) : 590 : 20 : 20 : 128

5. Separations (retirement, wastage, promotions out and other losses) 6. Total available at the end of the year 7. Additional numbers needed in the year : 590 : 128.

FINDINGS: Vijaya Diagnostic centre is an Organization which was functioning based on traditional values but it`s now coping with the changes and working towards modernization. The human resources available are self sufficient for handling present in patient flow The Organization has well qualified technicians 76

The Organization lacks Employee-engagement activities The Organization has Centralized power of Authority

SUGGESTIONS: The Human Resources presently available are sufficient but in the future there may be a dearth of qualified technicians due to increase in-patient flow. So, to tackle this job enrichment must be encouraged so as to have bench strength of qualified personnel and help in succession planning. Employee engagement activities must be initiated so that trust develops between the employees and the management which creates harmony and better relations. 77

Management has to change its view towards the manpower i.e., from cost centered to profit centered.
