Human Resource Planning should be flexible enough to overcome the short-term

environment in the longer-term. Human Resource planning is done by assessing and auditing
the present capacity of the human resource (Armstrong & Taylor, 2014). The challenges that
disturb the structure of the organizations are employees falling sick, going on a tour or getting
promoted. HRP makes sure that there is balance if these challenges of the workers and the
job. The objective of the Human Resource Planning are-
1. To attract skilled and knowledgeable employees.
2. Selection, training and rewarding the employees.
3. Coping up with the absences and handle conflicts.
4. Promoting the employees (O'Meara & Petzall, 2013).

resource. In the first step the human resource departments will study the current supply of
resources. The strengths of the Biotech Company will be studied which will depend on the
number of employees currently working in the organization, qualification of the employees,
positions, benefits provided and the overall performances. After detailed study it is noted that
Biotech Company would need an Assistant Division Director and a team under that
designation (Noe et al., 2017). This will require the process of recruitment of skilled
employees in order to carry out the various activities related to the products that include,
marketing, promotions, selling, strategy planning. The recruitment is done either by the
Director or by the Human resource manager. In the second step, the future of Biotech
Company needs to outline its employee’s future. The human resource will then consider
issues like layoffs, promotions, transfers. The third steps involves forecasting the demands of
the employees (Cascio, 2015). Biotech Company should create an analysis of gap that
requires specific needs in order to narrow the supply of the labors versus the future demand.
Biotech Company after recruiting the employees should provide proper training in order to
give an in depth knowledge of their respective plans. Evaluation after every task will keep the
employees motivated to perform better. Regular feedback from the employees about their
respective jobs, their fulfillment of demands, job satisfaction, and understanding of the job
will provide a wider picture to the employer to know its employees better. Departmental
manager give feedback on the work done by the new employees (Stone & Stone 2013).
Another way of motivating and influencing the employees to perform better is rewarding
them for their outstanding performance. Separating the employees from the organization or
training them vigorously in times of regular failures will also help Biotech Company to
establish a successful division for its new product category. The final step of the Human
Resource Planning will involve practical tasks of implementation of the above mentioned
strategies and ideas. The execution of these plans will require budget estimation, checking the

capacity of the company to implement the strategies and plans and joint efforts of all the
departments to execute the ideas and strategies (Aswathappa, 2013).
Conclusion

development of the organization in all aspect. Biotech Company by following the Human
Resource Plan for the launch and establishment of new product category will increase the
profitability of the company and develop a brand image in the minds of the customers. The
