What does workforce analysis refer to? |
Number and type of human resource required Number and type of human resource available Number of vacancies that already exist Desirable profile of occupant |
Number and type of human resource available |
The correct answer is option 2- Number and type of human resource available. Workforce analysis would reveal the number and type available. In fact such an exercise would reveal whether we are understaffed, overstaffed or optimally staffed. It may be pointed out that neither over-staffing nor under-staffing is a desirable situation. A situation of overstaffing somewhere would necessitate employee removal or transfer elsewhere. A situation of understaffing would necessitate the starting of the recruitment process. |
