Personal Planning & Forecasting Personal Planning (PP) is about deciding what positions the firm will have to fill and how to fill them. PP can include all jobs from cleaning staff to CEO. Executive jobs can also be selected by succession planning. Personal Planning should derive from the firm’s strategic plans.

Trend Analysis: study of a firm’s past employment needs over a period of years to predict future needs. Ratio Analysis: A forecasting technique for determining future staff needs by using ratios between, for example, sales volume and number of employees need.
