From the author: We urge business leaders who are considering outsourcing to charge
their HR planners with active management of workforce planning issues throughout the
process. To assist leaders and planners, we provide a new human resource planning
(HRP) model and suggest best practices for planning and implementing an outsourcing
arrangement. Based on dynamic HR planning theory, and research into current
outsourcing cases and approaches, we provide a roadmap to confront the challenges of
outsourcing. We also suggest directions for further research on contemporary outsourcing
issues.

Successful Strategic Human Resource Planning
(Paperback)

by Stephen G Haines and Allan Bandt (Author)

1.Book Reviews

Review

Successful Strategic Human Resource Planning stresses the importance of identifying and
gathering strategic information for the planning course of an organization, and the need
for involving key managers and employees in the process. Authors, Stephen Haines &
Allan Bandt, argue that although many organizations in today s fast-paced world often
state that People are their Greatest Asset, they fail to develop systematic methods that
support and connect the Human Resource Practices with the overall Organizational
Objectives.
Haines & Bandt introduce 5 major challenges that affect HR professionals from fully
developing the people edge notion, and may be the reasons many companies have
difficulty attaining their goals and keeping their employees satisfied. The challenges
introduced are; (1) Aligning HR practices to the company s business strategies, (2)
Business Partnerships between line managers and staff to address the people related
business needs of the organization, (3) Facilitating Organizational Change, and learning
throughout the organization, (4) Understanding and utilizing state-of-the-art Technology
to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization, and (5) Strategizing and
understanding the diverse environment in which they work, and positioning their
organization for the future.
Successful Strategic Human Resource Planning illustrates the backwards thinking theory
through its Strategic People Edge Model, where the organization begins by envisioning
their ideal future and then works backwards to planning & implementing strategies to get
there. All while remembering to involve key managers and employees and maintaining
the famous concept of people support what they help create, or what we come to know as
the People Edge. The Three Key Premises covered explain the reasoning for the
questions brought up during the essential planning process and for coping with the
changes that planning brings. Each premise delivers straightforward questions and
provides logical and strategic answers for any HR professional.
With its workbook like style and step-by-step models, this practical book offers guidance
to an unlimited number of issues that affect all Human Resource departments of today. In
the wise words of the authors, if you don t want anything to change in your organization,
why bother to plan. Successful Strategic Human Resource Planning is another great buy
to add to your organization’s library and your collection of the Systems Thinking
Approach (R) books. A necessity for any reputable organization.
