TASK 1
P1 Internal and external factors to consider when planning the human resource requirements
Internal Planning Factors
Planning Factors: These are the factors that relate to what is already happening inside the
business. This includes how the organisation is changing to cope with new methods of working
or new demands made on it, such as the introduction of technology or new products or services.
It is also a way of considering the new skills that will be needed in the future and those that the
existing staffs already have. The gap between the skills already present and those that are needed
can be measured (Berman and et.al., 2012).
Organisational needs: The workforce needs to be able to adapt to changes. Demand for
products and services will affect the number of people needed in certain roles. Businesses can
look to move into new markets – this could mean abroad and staff needing new skills such as
languages. More staff may be needed in distribution if the business grows. Technological change
can also affect the internal working arrangements – machinery leads to redundancies, new
training may be needed etc. (Internet shopping and self-scan checkouts) Outsourcing production
to cheaper countries.
