STATE SERVICES COMMISSION

51 p. 1981. Discussion Paper No. 1.

‘Manpower planning’ is a term which has a wide and rather ill-defined meaning. This report, addressed to the central question:

“What is manpower planning?”, opens with the philosophy of manpower 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 services.
