5.Which sources outside the organization provide these demographics?
6.What sources within the organization provided this information?

7.To whom are these projections communicated?
How often?
How far into the future?

8.Is there one position accountable for reviewing and assessing the HR department’s skills, education, interests and needs?
9.How is this assessment carried out (formally or informally)? (Please describe.)
10.How often is this assessment updated (e.g. yearly, every two years, three or more years)?
11.To whom are this assessment and any projections communicated?

21.On a scale of one to seven (seven being high and four being adequate), how do you think the staff rates the human resources planning/development process?


Explanation of Human Resources Planning/ Development Questionnaire
Affirmative answers to all the questions in this section means the organization’s development and human resource needs are being met. The emphasis is on connecting development and workforce need projections with internal and external workforce skills.

Questions one through seven deal with influences on the planning process) changing workforce, markets and customers, products, services, technology/skills base and identification of external supply).

Questions eight through 17 deal with internal assessment and availability of these same considerations: organizational development activities in management development, training, career and succession planning to satisfy workforce demands within the organizations. If the internal labor supply is greater than the need, then the tougher issues of resource reallocation have to be addressed (questions 18 and 19).

Human resources planning is particularly important for emerging, rapid-growth and high tech USER businesses.
Mature businesses in need of new products, services, markets, acquisitions or divestitures must also plan to identify, attract or reallocate the talent necessary for revitalization and continued competition.
