HRM 2005Human Resource PlanningSupply Forecasting - Movement Analysis Exercise

Peel District School Board, Secondary Division

The Peel District School Board is one of Canada's largest public school boards. It serves the 776 square kilometers of Peel Region with schools in Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon. Peel District School Board serves a total of 232 schools; 196 elementary and 35 secondary schools. Enrolment in September 2007 was 105,549 elementary students and 44,068 secondary students. The Board currently employs 9,900 academic staff and 3,300 business and support staff.   It hired more than 850 new teachers in 2006-07 to keep up with rising enrolment and replace retiring teachers.   

 

As HR analyst for the PDSB, your focus is the organization's Secondary School Division. You need to determine (1) the total number of positions that will require replacement over the next one-year period and (2) the impact these opening will have on the current employees' movements throughout the division. The PDSB has a strong "promote from within" policy for all vacancies above the entry level which are filled with external recruits.  The Secondary School Division does not have any personnel in authority levels 1 or 2. The most senior position in the Secondary School Division is at Level 3 (Secondary Division Superintendent).  

 

Based on information from the Board's enrolment system and HRIS, you know the following:

 

1.      The Board expects a 5% increase in enrolment in secondary schools in the coming year. As a result, the Board is calculating a 5% increase in the number of positions at level 8. No other staffing increases are expected.

 

2.      Historical loss rates include the following:

1. Retirements (requiring replacements): none at Levels 3 and 4. 5% at Level 5. 10% of current positions for Levels 6, 7, and 8.
2. Attrition (voluntary and involuntary exits): none at Levels 3, 4 and 5. 3% at Levels 5 and 6. 2% at Levels 7 and 8.   

 

1. The number of positions at the start of the 2006-07 school year are as follows:

Level 1 (Director) = 1

Level 2 (Assistant Director) = 4

Level 3 (Secondary Division Superintendent) = 1

Level 4 (Area Superintendent) = 5

Level 5 (Principal) = 35

Level 6 (Vice Principal) = 105

Level 7 (Department Head) = 350

Level 8 (Teacher) = 2410

 

Your task: 

 

Follow the instructions provided in the text to construct two separate tables. Remember to follow the two rules outlined. 

 

Use the information above to do a table to calculate the number of positions to be filled in the next year. An example is provided on page 146 of text. Title this table "Table 1: PDSB Secondary Division Positions to be Filled" 

 

Use the information from the "Positions to be filled" column of your table to a second table that shows the employee movement caused by promotions to fill the identified vacancies. An example is provided on page 147 of your text.  Title this table: Table 2: PDSB Secondary Division Personnel Movement"

 

Hand in your two completed tables.
