Introduction

1.1 Background Of The Study

In both the advanced and under-developed countries, active Manpower Policy has increasingly come to be regarded as an indispensible supplement to a policy of economic growth and that of an organization. In this regard, one can say that organization in both advanced and under-developed nations have come around the perspective of the subject as concerned by the International Labour Organization.

To check unemployment that might arise in the process of economic development, develop and utilize effectively the available manpower resources, many organizations have realized the needs for the establishment of machinery for manpower planning that should initiate training program.

Manpower or human capital may be effectively employed or it may be under-utilized. The need for manpower can be categorized into two parts that is the generation of skills and the utilization of skills. These can generally be regarded as the process of human capital formation of investment on human capital.

The proper utilization of an organization workforce can help the organization save money at present and as the organization plans for the company’s future. Manpower Planning requires the interaction of development managers with your human resources professionals to maintain current staff level and plans for the future workforce needs. Manpower Planning can be used by organization to provide a frame work by which the organization uses to prepare for and monitor the future growth and manpower requirements of the organization. The failure of an organization to develop proper manpower planning and development may have a direct effect on the performance of the organization either presently or in the future.

Inadequate right numbers of people: In an organization where there isinadequate number of people (manpower) to carry out the essential duties, these will hinder the work at hand and cause insufficient utilization of materials which might affect the life wire of the organization. For instance, money on its own is nothing it is the number of people in an organization that uses money to actualize organizational goals and objectives. Materials are used by staff, just as staff determines what method to be employed to discharge their functions and what time to discharge them.

The way and manner personnel are managed: This affects performance of the organization where the personnel feels discontented or dissatisfied, the performance of the organization will be diversely affected. These show that, personnel is a critical input for the growth, survival, development, regeneration and performance of an organization.

Improper promotion of staff: Promotion of staffs or employees should be carefully done. When properly planned, promotion can act as the required tonic for boosting the morale of employees and ensuring efficiency and effectiveness of performance but when not properly carried out or when it is abused, promotion could engender suspicion and mistrust to the total disadvantage of the organization.
