Upon Reflection

Feb 1st class: We discussed the HR planning process. We went into depth about forecasting and setting goals that help us be prepared for whatever may come. It is a risky thing to forecast and make all these changes to things you aren't even positive will happen, but necessary. We talked about how some companies try to avoid the risk by simply waiting to see what their competitors are doing. This, in my opinion, is the even riskier move. I think forecasting is an even better tool for making the company stop, reflect, analyze, determine what could be coming, and set goals to help prepare. The other companies who are waiting learn nothing about their company and follow trends specific to someone elses company.
