developing skills for use in the near
future.

to attract new employees, to
motivate people to perform well, and

Short Term HR
Short-term planning
objectives are generally
stated in terms that are
relatively easy to quantify
(e.g., numbers of
applicants, numbers of
hires & performance levels
of employees), systematic
evaluation of human
resource programs to meet
short-term organizational
needs is quite feasible, and
some types of program
evaluations are actually
common in large
organizations.
Intermediate Term HR
Long Term Hr
Intermediate time horizon
encompasses more
uncertainties and contingencies
because programs are often
larger in scope and the
appropriate unit of analysis for
evaluation is often the
productivity level of an entire
department or business unit
-Presently most of our knowledge
about how to develop and improve
long-term human resource
programs has been generated
through trial-and-error rather than
through systematic research.
Nevertheless, much knowledge
about individual behavior and
development has been gained by
analysis of the massive amounts of
data generated by large-scale,
ongoing management planning
systems.
- Evaluation of succession planning
programs have emphasized the
ability to predict individual
outcomes, such as career progress
and satisfaction.
