"What is manpower planning?", opens with the philosophy of man-
power planning, what it is, its aims and objectives. This is followed
by a discussion of what is involved in forecasting the supply and
demand for people and skills in the public service. The essentials
of departmental manpower is then discussed followed by a chapter
devoted to the practice of career development and concluding with
a statement on the future development of manpower planning in
the public service.

that you have something to say, rather than that you have to say
something. This inexpensive booklet will help the person who has
to speak professionally.
