manpower supply in the organisation by the stored information about the workers in terms of
their experience, proficiency, skills etc. needed to execute a specific job (Mangori, 2020). Also,

the external sources.

resource with the firm.

easier manner. In case the demand is more than the supply of human resources, that states there a
deficit and therefore, new applicants are to be hired. If the demand is less than supply, there
arises a surplus in the manpower and the workers have to removed either in the form of
termination, retirement, layoff and transfer etc.

to be framed accordingly. In situation of deficit, the company may go either for recruitment,
training and interdepartmental transfer plans whereas in the case of a surplus, the voluntary
retirement schemes, redeployment, layoff etc could be opted.

related issues which can be faced by an organisation. These issues related to lack of training,

of recruitment which support the establishment in hiring skilled and knowledgeable applicants.
But people are belonging from different regions and culture so use different languages in their
communication which affect the interaction. Also, in order to deal with, training related issues,
