Changes in the business environment and labour market affect Human Resource Planning (HRP).
By looking out the definitions of HRP from Dessler (1999), Stone (2002), and Schuler (1998), HRP can be defined as the systematic and continuous process to ensure that organization's human resource needs are fulfilled by ensuring that the right people with the correct skills are available when required.

An addition, HRP will provide a better basis for planning employee employment in order to make optimum use of workers' attitudes and to improve their job satisfaction (Nankervis et al. 1999). HRP provide more opportunities of working for women and minority groups in the labour market. Moreover, the HPR provide a tool for evaluating the effect of alternative human resource actions and policies.

When the internal supply of employees cannot meet the demand, organization is needed to look up the external human resources from labour market. This show that labour market is an important factor in determining human resource strategy, therefore the changes of labour market will bring the effects to
