To prepare human resources plans, an organization must start by conducting a thorough analysis of its current workforce and future business objectives. This includes evaluating the skills, knowledge, and experience of existing employees, forecasting future staffing needs, identifying potential gaps in the workforce, and determining any potential risks or challenges that could impact the availability of needed talent. Additionally, organizations should consider factors such as employee turnover, succession planning, training and development needs, and changes in industry trends that could impact the workforce.
