In this assignment I will be explaining why human resource planning is important to an
organisation. For this task the organisation I have chosen to use as an example is
Debenhams.
At Debenhams their aim is to employ stafs that are polite, friendly, qualifed and will work
well with others. They need employees with dedication and passion for helping customers.
They must be able to deliver excellent customer service.
Human resource planning: looks at the workforce feld and motivation techniques used so
that they can be modifed and improved for the future. To do this Debenhams need to take
