Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth

Talent planning (also known as workforce planning) is the process of forecasting an organization’s

future staffing needs to meet its strategic goals. It involves analyzing current staff levels, predicting

future requirements, and planning for recruitment, training, or restructuring to ensure the right

talent is available.

Option A (Talent planning): Correct, as it directly involves forecasting staff levels to align with

organizational objectives.

Option B (Staff audit): A staff audit assesses current employee skills and roles but does not focus on

forecasting future needs.

Option C (Talent acquisition): This refers to the process of recruiting and hiring, not forecasting staff

levels.

Option D (Job analysis): Job analysis defines the requirements of a specific role, not overall staffing

needs.
