The extent to which the use of quantitative methods contributes to human resources planning

Abstract

This research aims to highlight that the human resources planning process is based on the idea of forecasting the organization’s needs for human resources (quantitatively and qualitatively) by estimating the demand and supply of labor, and in light of its endeavor to achieve a balance between them, the gap between supply and demand must be bridged, which makes It is necessary to adopt a set of strategies to achieve this. The researcher will discover the diversity of methods for forecasting human resources, which range from simple (descriptive) methods that rely on guesswork and estimation to complex methods that include mathematical and statistical models. Given that each method has its advantages and disadvantages, the organization must use a balanced approach. Combines some of them to arrive at the best predictions and estimates.

The focus was on the programming method as one of the most important methods of planning and determining the organization’s human resources needs, and a quantitative example was reviewed to prove the importance and accuracy of the results of this method in planning human resources in organizations.
