  2. What is a HRM Plan? • HRM is a strategic and systematic approach to managing people in a way that would maximise their motivation and contribution towards meeting the organisation's objectives. • A HRM Plan is a document which sets out what programmes are required in the following few years to practise HRM in the organization. • The aim of a HRM Plan is to help the organisation to achieve its mission and objectives through a systematic design and implementation of HRM programmes.

  3. Critical Success Factors for Developing the HRM Plan Whether the HRM Plan can achieve its desired purpose depends on: • Top management commitment to the philosophy that people are the key to the success in achieving the objectives of the organization. • Strategic linkage of the organization's HRM programmes to its mission and objectives. • Line management's ownership of the HRM Plan.

  4. A Shift in Mindset from administering people to achieving strategic objectives through people.  

  5. HRM plan • built upon an understanding of the vision, mission, values, and strategic programmes and challenges. • links the HRM programmes to business plans • helps prioritise HRM programmes according to business priorities.

  6. Developing A HRM Plan A Step-by-Step Approach • Conduct an organizational strategic analysis: • Identify strategic HR issues arising from the strategic analysis: • Identify ongoing HR issues: • Prioritize the strategic and ongoing HR issues and determine actions: • Draw up the HRM Plan.

  7. 1. Conduct a strategic analysis The results of this step are • an understanding of the organisation's vision, mission, values; • a strategic review of the organisation; and • understanding of the challenges facing the organisation.

  8. What to Do? Conduct a strategic review of the organization including strategic objectives, direction and critical success factors. • Strategic objectives are organisational objectives which are usually articulated through the vision, mission, values, corporate business plans and strategic programmes. • Strategic direction is where the organisation, and the services it plans to provide in the future, are heading towards. • Critical success factors are the factors that will determine whether the strategic objectives will be achieved, e.g. if customer satisfaction is an objective, then delivering services that meet customer expectations is a critical success factor.

  9. How? • Review key organisational documents. These include the organisation's vision, mission, and values, programmes, and other strategic documents. If the organisation has not yet formulated its vision, mission and values, it would be useful to have them worked out. • Interview senior staff to obtain their views on the organisation's direction, critical success factors and challenges. • Interview key organisational stakeholders, e.g. members of staff and customers to determine their expectations of the organisation.

  10. 2. Identify strategic HR issues the outcome of this step is an analysis of the strategic HR issues facing the organisation What to Do? • Assess the HR implications of the findings of the strategic analysis. • Identify the strategic HR issues. How? • Review the findings of the strategic analysis and list out potential HR implications. • Review the checklist to determine if there are any additional HR issues tied to the strategic objectives, direction and challenges.

  11. Identifying the HR issues • Do people have the competencies to meet the strategic objectives? What new competencies are required? • How are superior performers differentiated from average performers? What systems are in place to track their performance? • How can below standard performers be guided/developed to upgrade their performance? • Are people being developed to meet the challenges of the future? What improvements need to be made? • Are people motivated to meet the current and future challenges? What is impacting their motivation? • Are the right people being attracted and retained to meet the future challenges? If not, what can be done to attract people of the right calibre? • Is the current culture aligned with the vision, mission, and values of the organization? Where is the misalignment? • Is the manpower level sufficient to meet the future business requirements?

  12. 3. Identify ongoing HR issues In addition to the strategic HR issues the ongoing HR issues impacting the organisation's effectiveness must also be identified. Ongoing HR issues are general HR issues not linked to specific strategic objectives or issues The HRM Plan must address the key ongoing HR issues, otherwise these issues may eventually escalate, impacting the morale and effectiveness of the organization.

  13. What to Do? & How? • Identify the ongoing HR issues Manpower planning, recruiting, performance management, training & development, staff relations, etc. • Conduct interviews Include current HR issues • Conduct employee focus groups Identify, probe and prioritise HR issues with different groups of staff and to ensure all participants will feel comfortable contributing. • Conduct staff opinion surveys demonstrates the commitment to soliciting everyone's input on the HRM Plan,

  14. 4. Prioritize and determine actions All the HR issues should be prioritized and key actions required in respect of each issue identified with input from the organisation’s top management. What to Do? • Involve the organization's top management team in confirming and prioritizing the issues compiled to date. How? • Collate the research findings up to this point. • Compile a preliminary list of the HR issues identified and group according to logical categories, e.g. training, recruitment. etc. • Conduct a top management strategic HRM workshop.

  15. 5. Draw up the HRM Plan What to Do? Develop the HRM Plan consisting of several key programmes. Strategic importance of the programme Describe the background of the programme Programme objectives Develop the specific set of actions within the programme. How? Make additional recommendations Group the recommendations Draw up various HRM programmes Prepare a summary list of HRM programmes Circulate the HRM Plan for comments.
