The Role of Workforce Planning and HRM Improvement Ensuring the Recruitment of Competitive Civil Service

Abstract

Human Capital Management is one of the components of the civil service’s competitiveness. The global financial and economic crisis and the aging society has been putting it in danger. The majority of the countries had decreased the wages as well as the headcount in the public sector, which weakened employee retention and the public appeal of civil service. These variables altogether decreased its human capacity and competitiveness. Several countries are currently under the process of the implementation of Human capital strategic planning as a managerial tool for wages, headcount and demographic challenges. It is capable of making a medium and long-term estimation for capacity needs, even in a restrictive environment. The introduction of Strategic Human Resource Planning to the Hungarian civil service is at an early stage. This article intends to put forward a Personnel Decision Making model, which aids the development of HRM and the medium and long-term planning of employee supply.
