Company Human Resource Plan

An organizational plan that shows when specific employees are available for assignment to projects, programs, and portfolios. It also catalogs the companys current skills and capabilities and outlines recruiting plans to obtain people needed for upcoming work.

Key Points

  • Identifies availability windows for roles and named personnel across projects, programs, and portfolios.
  • Maintains an inventory of internal skills, certifications, and capacity.
  • Details how future resource gaps will be filled (hire, contract, train, or reassign).
  • Feeds resource planning, forecasting, and prioritization; updated regularly as staffing changes.

Example

During annual planning, a software firm reviews its Company Human Resource Plan to confirm when senior QA analysts are free to join two product launches, to verify the in-house skills for test automation, and to confirm a plan to hire a data engineer for a machine learning initiative starting next quarter.
