Ms. Rani was recently appointed as human resources manager of a company. The company has an expansion plan, which require it to employ more employees. Identify the concept Ms. Rani will use to assess the number and types of employees necessary for the expansion plan.

Workload Analysis

The correct answer is option (2) : Workload Analysis

Understanding the manpower requirements would necessitate workload analysis on the one hand and workforce analysis on the other.

Workload analysis would enable an assessment of the number and types of human resources necessary for the performance of various jobs and accomplishment of organisational objectives.

Workforce analysis would reveal the number and type available. In fact such an exercise would reveal whether we are understaffed, overstaffed or optimally staffed.

Recruitment : Recruitment is a critical HR function, but it is not the concept used to access the number and types of employees necessary for an expansion plan. Recruitment involves the process of attracting, sourcing, and hiring new employees to fill vacant positions or meet workforce needs.

Job Specification : Job specification is a part of the job analysis process and includes defining the specific qualifications, skills and characteristic required for a particular job role.
