Scope of human resource planning is not merely limited to a business enterprise but its significance is all pervasive wherever people work, be it a government department, a cooperative or a research centre. Human resource planning is a sub-discipline of human resource management. Strategic human resource management is an interface between, ‘human resource management’ and ‘strategic management’. Human resource planning in most commonly understood terms addresses short term (1–3 years) human resource needs, while strategic human resource planning has medium (3–5 years) and long term (5–15 years) dimension. Flexible human resource planning addresses both ‘strategic human resource planning’, as well as short, medium and long term demand estimation. However, there are not very rigid dividing lines between immediate, medium and long term periods and much depends on an organization?s current flexible human resource planning policies which define them. In real-life situations all the three human resource planning, strategic human resource planning and flexible human resource planning go concurrently without much differentiation.
