What is human resources (HR)? It includes 
workforce 
planning, 
employee 
development 
plans, building basic employee benefits and salary 
programs, training and development, hiring and 
firing of employees, and more. HR planning is a 
key activity for business; as it is very likely that 
your business cannot operate without people. Even 
a business with the owner as the only employee of 
the business needs human resources - planning and 
managing one employee (yourself) is just simpler (or 
perhaps harder).Human resources management is an 
important staff function for business; because of that, 
the HR plan needs to be part of the overall business 
plan. Building an employee development plan for 
each employee is part of the HR responsibility. 
What are the employee’s strengths and weaknesses? 
What training is necessary to improve skills? 
What specific skills does the employee have? Can 
those skills be used in other areas of the business 
(cross-training is important in small businesses)? 
Developing a development plan needs to include 
input from the individuals) responsible for HR in 
your organization, along with the employee and 
the supervisor or manager. Typically, HR also 
conducts salary and benefit surveys and builds basic 
employee benefits and salaries programs. Also it 
handles workforce planning and scheduling (usually 
through a workforce coordinator or scheduler). If 
you are a one-person business, still consider human 
resources planning for the future: it is likely that as

your business grows, your human resources needs 
will also grow. Then, define your human resources 
vision and mission: it needs to be closely aligned 
(if not the same) to the organization’s mission and 
vision statements. Next, identify the primary (top 
5) goals of your plan (workforce planning should 
always be one of those goals due to the importance 
of having enough of the right people in the business). 
Good human resources planning and management 
will result in stronger rapport and communications 
between employees and the management. It will also 
result in individual employee development plans, 
low employee turn-over, low absenteeism, low safety 
incidents, competitive employee compensation 
programs (including basic employee benefits), high 
morale, good quality output and efficient operations, 
well trained employees, and satisfied customers. 
Salary competitiveness (within the industry) 
and basic employee benefits need to be reviewed 
regularly, likely at least every two years. The plan 
needs to identify your hiring and promotion policies, 
and employee development plans for improving 
employee performance. Human resource planning 
is a critical element of your business plan. Ensure 
that you spend time and effort to develop strong 
human resources planning that clearly identifies 
your present and future needs, policies, gaps, goals 
and actions.
