Investing in human resources<\/strong> (HR) is a key element of healthy personnel planning and strategy. A hallmark of effective leadership is efficient HR<\/strong> which means hiring employees in a cost-effective manner and mostly when needed. Your business plan should always include an informative<\/strong> and up-to-date personnel plan section to provide direction for the company and help entrepreneurs stay focused.<\/p>\n

At the heart of every business owner is the desire to excel.<\/strong> The best way to excel is to define your plans and proceed with purpose. Your business plan comprises a business description<\/strong>, a competition analysis, a marketing plan, a personnel section, the HR section and key financial information.<\/p>\n

The personnel plan is designed to help company owners put their plans into action. It helps to clarify objectives<\/strong> for the current and forthcoming year. Thus, a good understanding of personnel plan and how to implement it in your business is vital.<\/p>\n

What is a personnel plan?<\/h2>\n
\n

A personnel plan is a vital part of every company plan and financial forecast, which aids future and current budgeting and defines the type of employee<\/strong> to hire and when to hire such employees.<\/p>\n

When you are seeking funding, venture capitalists and angel investors will want a breakdown of your team. Who are they? What talents and skills<\/strong> do they bring to the table? What is your hiring plan for the first year, second year, and so on? How will your team drive business growth and success?<\/p>\n

All this information will include the positions you will need employees for, the period in which the management intends to fill the plan, and the financial implications<\/strong> of the implementation of the plan. Just as you would assess if your business is financially feasible<\/a>, you’ll need to apply this same sentiment when hiring employees.<\/p>\n

The personnel plan represents a consolidated strategy<\/strong> for hiring the best people for all company positions, while keeping an eye on future expansion.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Michael E. Gerber, the author of The E-Myth Revisited,<\/em> posited that an effective personnel plan designed as an efficient workplace game will help employers prime employees for organizational goals <\/strong>while creating job satisfaction. This means that an effective hiring process is vital to an efficient process of personnel planning.<\/p>\n

Key elements of a personnel plan<\/h2>\n
\n

Each company’s needs may differ, but in general, these are common elements that should form part of every personnel plan.<\/p>\n

Job description<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Clearly explained requirements<\/strong> of the various job functions. Use easy-to-understand language and phrases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Organizational chart and type of hiring<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • The chart of the organization should show who works for whom and provide a good overview<\/strong> of the overall management and employee structure of the company.<\/li>\n
    • The plan should be clear on whether employees are independent contractors<\/strong> or receive salaries. This is essential for labor compliance<\/strong> issues and the workers’ tax.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Remuneration (salary amount and assumptions)<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • Details of hourly or yearly payments are defined, including relevant assumptions that comprise estimates<\/strong> of salary increases over time. You also need to account for company benefits,<\/strong> including health insurance. This may be a percentage of salary costs employers pay to staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Time of recruitment<\/h3>\n
          \n
        • The hiring of employees is often done over time and staggered.<\/strong> Thus, your plan must include details about when an employee will start and the end date for temporary staff.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
