The major assumptions we are taking here while developing this human resource plan is that there is no scarcity of employees in the industry and sufficient candidates are available within the industry from which we can identify and select leaders of the future. Other assumption we are taking while making the human resource policy is that all changes are well accepted and current workforce is comfortable with the training and development program which are designed for them.

Timing and resource consideration                                                                

The time line which we have designed for the human resource plan is for 3 years. The entire plan is again divided into 3 parts of 1 year. The resources which are required for the implementation of the plan is experts on the change management and leadership development which can either be indentified from the organization or outside experts can be hired. Academicians and researchers will also be needed for the designing of the course and its implementation within the industry environment. Financial assistance would be required for the hiring of new employee and experts’ rewards and higher remuneration will be required to keep the motivational level on a higher side. The last and intangible resource which will be required is commitment from the top management for the change and training and development plan designed for the employees. If the top management is committed towards bringing the change small obstacles and hurdles can be addressed and broader framework can be developed
