Manpower Planning Questionnaire

After reviewing all level we should focus on two Questions-

Q)What is present set of KSA (Knowledge/Skills/Ability) available internally?

Q)What set of KSA (Knowledge/Skills/Ability) is required to achieve future goal?

We should focus on Category II (CA) level where we should focus on hiring CA with leadership
skills so that they can lead a team and managers could manage teams rather being involved in
executing most of the task/activities.

And according to the targets for a particular time period (Yearly), we should plan work force
ratio (i.e. how many employee we require for execution, leading and managing)

Once we will plan and start working on that we will get guidelines for the next year & long term
planning.
