Workforce planning: it is the process of analysing done by the company in order to
determine the present and future requirements related to the labour. With respect to the chosen
organisation, the managers of Npower used to ensure that the recruitment of the candidates
should be always based on the skills which can be used by the organisation in order to satisfy the
vacant jobs. In this, the recruiters of the organisation used to determine the market of labour
where they used to demand and determine the trends so that their operations have been done
effectively, choosing the right candidate to satisfy the vacant position (Allen, Williams and
Allen, 2018). This also helps in enhancing the customers trust with respect to the organisation.

image in the competitive market place. The organisation workforce used to play an important
role in order to encourage and motivate the staff to work in an effective manner so that the

negative impact is resulting in the higher cost of recruitment and selection process and
also the local talented candidates are ignored as well as it has an impact on the economy
