Despite growing unemployment, there has been shortage of human resources with required skills, qualification and capabilities to carry on works. Hence the need for human resource planning. Large numbers of employees, who retire, die, leave organisations, or become incapacitated because of physical or mental ailments, need to be replaced by the new employees. Human resource planning ensures smooth supply of workers without interruption. Human resource planning meets the organisation need for right type of people in right number at right times. By maintaining a balance between demand for and supply of human resources, human resource planning makes optimum use of human resources, on the one hand, and reduces labour cost substantially, on the other. Careful consideration of likely future events, through human resource planning might lead to the discovery of better means for managing human resources. Thus, foreseeable pitfalls might be avoided.
