organization has adequate human resources to meet the strategic goal and operational
plans. HRP is the process of reviewing and identifying future staffing needs of an
organization. It ensures that the required number of qualified employees is available at the
right time.
HRP consists of 3 important elements that are cost, money and time. Regarding the
monetary issue, we should take into account some important expenses such as
management trainees’ salaries, expenses for training and development programmes,
expenses for advertising for invitation and etcetera.
Besides, there are estimated 10 candidates to be recruited to go through the selection tests.
They shall go through a few tests and interviews in order to gain the position of management
trainees. We aimed for fresh-graduated candidates.
Also, this process shall take around 3 months until our company recruits the final 3
management trainees.
Thus, recruitment is the next crucial process after human resources planning.
RECRUITMENT

the organization. There are 2 types of recruitment which are internal recruitment and
external recruitment.
As our company is a brand new company and thus we would prone to adopt the method of

On the job training will occupy and facilitate the biggest part of the training and development
plan. Nonetheless, off the job training aka externally based training courses is also helpful
for trainees and it could be taken into account as part of the development programmes.
There are few techniques to be adopted in off the job training.
Role Playing and Simulation are training techniques that attempt to bring realistic decision
making situations to the trainee. Decision making is a basic necessity to every individual.
Likely problems and alternative solutions are presented for discussion. Experienced
employees or trainers can describe real world experiences, and indirectly, it helps the
trainees to learn on how to resolve and figure out means to these stimulations. This method
is cost effective at the same time.
Programmed Instruction allows the trainee to learn at his or her own pace. Also, they allow
material already learned to be bypassed in favour of material with which a trainee is having
difficulty. After the introductory period, the instructor need not be present, and the trainee
can learn as his or her time allows. This method are better compare to Lecturing method as
lecturing method is for larger audience while programmed instruction could be one-to-one
training.
Our company invests time and resources to ensure that our management trainees are
reliable. We expect our trainees to fully participate in the learning process by being flexible,
motivated, time keepers, reliable, creative and morale and leadership skills.
Each trainee is required to prepare a report to coincide with each two monthly assessments.
The report shall include learning experience gained, details on the tasks completed and any
opportunity. At the end of the first year the 3 management trainees have to execute a
management presentation on their own. Since all the trainees have spent time in all
departments during the first year and thus, during the second year every trainee will be
placed in a department where their natural ability and shown flair could be freely developed.
At the end of the second year each trainee is required to have management presentation as
well.
