Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Petra engaged in human resources planning to determine the right number and types of people needed to fill the new engineering positions. She met with her group leaders to assess the current workforce and identify any skill gaps or deficiencies that need to be addressed. This information will inform the recruiting, training, and pay requirements for the new hires, but those decisions come after the initial human resources planning phase. Performance appraisal needs and employee selection approaches are also important considerations, but they come after the planning phase as well. Once the new hires are in place, Petra will need to monitor their productivity and ensure they are producing the needed results.
