Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After reviewing the organization's strategic plans, the next step in the HR planning process would be to assess the external and internal workforce. This involves analyzing the current workforce and identifying any gaps or future needs in terms of skills, knowledge and experience. Once this assessment is complete, HR staffing plans and actions can be developed to address any gaps or future needs identified. Therefore, options A and C are incorrect as they are subsequent steps in the planning process, whereas option B could be considered a parallel process running alongside the workforce assessment.
