The process of identifying and providing ways to fulfill the organization’s developmental and human resource needs.
     Is there one position accountable for reviewing the organization’s human resources requirements?
     How often is this analysis updated (e.g., yearly, every two years, three years or more)?
     Do your projected needs include the following considerations?
          • Availability of outside workforce demographics (age, sex, minority classification, education, skill levels, occupations, etc.)
          • Anticipated changed in your organizations technology, processes, products/services and markets.
     Is there a formal career planning process in place?
     Are human resource projections (i.e., numbers, job classifications, skills, knowledge, ability and education levels) identified in the recruitment plan?
     Are the human resources projections a part of the organization’s budgeting process?
     On a ten-to-one scale, how do you think other departments would rate the human resources planning and organizational development process now in place?
