TITLE:
Issues arises due to inappropriate human resource planning. A study on Point A Hotel
London.
INTRODUCTION
Overview of topic
Human resource planning is the planned way to determine knowledge about number of
workers, their skills and knowledge for determining changes properly. When organisation is
operating in industry, then there is requirement of proper planning about workers which are
required and this is the best way to understand and evaluate changes properly (Analoui, 2018). A
there are many changes taking place in business environment, so in order to accept those changes
there is requirement of skilled workers and want them to give proper services to consumers. This
investigation is based on Point A Hotel London which is three start hotel about providing
hospitality services in the UK. As there are many people visit and travel for UK and they have
different demands, so it is important to have proper human resource policies for expansion and
proper performance of association in industry.

resources policies as well. As employees are the source through which operations can be
performed performed properly and it is easy to analyse consumer demand. With determining and
making policies better for employees availability, there is no improper performance of workers.
With determining and evaluating changes, it is essential and specific for managers of Point A
Hotel to understand what better can be done (Beach and Lipshitz, 2017). With making proper
policies, there is requirement of understanding and evaluation human resource policies with
which it is easy to provide satisfactory services to workers. When human resource department is
planning properly for employees, then operational efficiency of Point A Hotel can be maintained
and they can compete with other organisations as well.
Investigation Aim
To identify the issues arises due to inappropriate human resource planning. A study on
Point A Hotel London.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Literature review is the section in which people are able to get proper knowledge about
human resource planning and strategies to hire new work force. This gives complete overview
about the topic and it is easy to get overview about the topic. This is the best way to get over all
understanding about topic. In this section, information is collected from online sources which are
authentic and relevant (Debroux, 2017).
Role of human resource planning
Human resource planning is the process for planning and evaluating current and future
policies regarding employing workers. As workers are important, so it is essential to plan
policies and in case of any departure from organisation, hiring has to be done properly. If
employees are not hired within specified time, then proper services can not provided to
consumers and this creates dissatisfaction among them. When proper human resource planning is
performed, then it will be easy for managers of Point A Hotel to understand and determine ways
through which satisfaction can be achieved. According to Jeremy Bradley, 2019 HR policies are
important because this is the best way through which planning for filling individuals is possible
and resources does not gets wasted because of non presence of workers. Human resource
planning is important because it assist in forecasting demand about requirements of workers. For
instance, managers of Point A Hotel are planning for launching new division, then there is
requirement of planning regarding requirements of workers. Hence with the help of HR policies,
it will be easy for organisation to launch properly and provide satisfactory services to consumers.
If some employee gets injured, then it is not possible for them to determine and
understand changes properly. If there is improper policies, then it is not easy for people to
determine and understand the changes properly (DeCenzo, Robbins and Verhulst, 2016). If
human resource planning, Point A Hotel can deal with contingency as well and it is easy for
them to coop up with external changes in the association. Hence it is clear that human resource
planing places crucial role in growth and development of organisation and making
synchronisation in operations.
Different challenges that get arises due to inappropriate human resources planning
There are many individuals working in the organisation. They have different mindset and
it is not easy for association to determine and evaluate changes properly. In order to make
5

operations properly of the Point A Hotel, it is relevant and crucial to determine changes properly.
As per view of Smriti Chand, 2019 there is major issue of selecting best method of hiring and
recruitment in planning operations related to human resources. When candidates are not selected
with best option, then it is not easy for them to train them and orientation will also not be
specific. Some challenges arise because of inappropriate human resources planning such as
Improper training and development sessions, legal issues, Issues and compensation, etc. due to
which preference of Point A Hotel gets hampered and it is not possible to determine it properly.
These challenges not only makes operations properly but also does not insist to complete the
operations properly (Analoui, 2018).
Measures to be adopted for effective human resource planning
There are different operations which has to be performed by managers of Point A Hotel
because of change in human resource planning. As there is change in business strategies, then it
will be easy for people to determine policies in appropriate and specific manner. There must be
use of old records through which it will be easy for managers to determine what is the
requirements of workers. When policies are not performed as per said requirement, then
managers have to altered it as per external market. This assist in determining and understanding
requirement of employees at Point A Hotel. It is important that proper evaluation has to be done
about strategies which are framed related to hiring and selecting. In order to manage and
determine the best way for evaluating changes, exit feedbacks must be taken. There must be
regular interaction with employees, so their issues and grievances can be managed. With the help
of proper measures to evaluate best human resource planning, proactive approach of working has
to be used (Silin and Tkacheva, 2015).
METHODOLOGY
Research methodology is the section in which there is discussion about different
techniques which are used in the study. As there are many operational techniques for research, so
it is important for researcher to understand and evaluate which is the best. Some techniques
which will use by researcher are discussed as under-
Research Philosophy is the criteria which is used by researcher to understand the ways to
complete the study. There are possibilities that study will not be completed properly, if it is not
performed in synchronise manner. There are three types of philosophy i.e. positivism,
6

interpretive and pragmatist. For making this study relevant, positivism philosophy will be used
because this gives proper way to complete the whole study. Deductive research approach will
be used with the help of which proper way to understand and determine changes which might
affect investigation outcome (Beach and Lipshitz, 2017). Descriptive research design is used in
this study with the help of which complete and in- depth aspects are discussed through which
every point is clear and relevant. There are two methods of conducting study out of which
qualitative method will be preferred because this makes ease in understanding the study outcome
properly through pictures and graphs. Information will be collected through primary and
secondary resources as questionnaire and online sources. So it will be study to get in- depth
information about human resource planning. Simple random sampling method will be chosen
because there will no partiality in collecting views from respondents. 50 workers are selected
because they have knowledge about human resource planning policies and issues organisation is
facing. Research will be completed within specified time because all the activities will be
completed with proper guidance and direction. Research outcome and interpretation will be
communicated to individuals who have interest and related with study (Brunstein, 2016).
