From the above definitions the following features of HRP can be identified.
1. HRP is a process which includes various aspects through which an organization tries to ensure that right people, at right place and at right time are available.

According
to Geisler, “Manpower planning (HRP) is the process – including forecasting, developing, implementing
and controlling, by which a firm ensures that it has the right number of people
and right kind of people, at the right place, at the right time, doing things
for which they are economically most suitable”.
Decenzo and Robbins have defined HRP as “Specifically, human resource planning is the process by which an organisation ensures that it has the right number and kind of people, at the right place, at the right time, capable of effectively and efficiently completing those tasks that will help the organisation achieve its overall objectives”.
Leap and Crino have defined HRP in the following manner: “Human resource planning includes the estimation how many qualified people are necessary to carry out the assigned activities, how many people will be available, and what, if anything must be done to ensure that personnel supply equals personnel demand at the appropriate point in the future.”

3. It does take into account the manpower availability at
a future point in the organization. Therefore, it indicates what actions can be
taken to make existing manpower suitable for future managerial positions and
how the gap between needed and available manpower can be fulfilled.
