Introduction
1.1 background of the study
Planning has existed for as long as man has. Planning began in antiquity, when there were no businesses or firms. Planning is a fundamental function of management, which implies that it pervades all functional areas of management, including personnel, production, research and development, marketing, and finance.
Organisational goals and objectives are set through planning, and the resources available must be strategised to attain them. Planning provides solutions to what and how? When? and their impact on organisational activity.
Human resource planning is an essential component of the people management function. Human resource planning is also known as workforce planning, which is the process of putting the correct number of qualified people in the right jobs at the right times. To guarantee that the organisation has adequate personnel, management must plan properly. Proper planning in this regard includes accurately projecting the future, taking inventory of the present workforce, comparing it to the existing workforce, and implementing remedial actions (Ojo & Olarewaju, 2020).
Productivity is defined as the rate of output, degree of result, and success, which are all directly related to profitability and turnover. This study focuses on the potential effect of human resource planning on worker productivity.
Human resources refers to the individuals in the organisation. They are required for production to occur. As a result, the organisation must do careful human resource planning. Proper planning improves an organisation's productivity. How?
Planning contributes to the resolution of the organisation's workforce shortfall.
It also aids in determining and planning the capital, materials, equipment, and staff necessary for an organisation to attain its goals.
Human resource planning describes the roles and obligations of employees, as well as how their activities will be interrelated.
Human resource planning aids in the assessment of external factors, allowing the firm to deal with environmental uncertainty by mobilising scarce or limited resources to neutralise prospective risks.
Planning enables control, which is the process of comparing actual outcomes to performance standards and taking corrective action if a discrepancy exists.
Human resource planning promotes management growth by enabling managers to play a proactive role in developing the organisation towards a desirable future state (Ogunjobi & Durojaiye, 2021).
Finally, human resource planning duties include staffing, which is the acquisition of qualified and adequate quantities of personnel for an organisation, as well as determining and acquiring other resources and allocating them properly. Furthermore, human resource planning serves the important aim of coordinating the activity of all members and elements of an organisation in order to increase productivity.

1.7 scope of the study
the study is restricted to the impact of human resources on productivity in total Nigeria plc Lagos as a source of data, and it will cover the period from 2005 to 2010.
1.8 limitation of the study
the study was constrained; some of these constraints are:
⦁ finance: it was no doubt a great limitation of factors for this project considering the worldwide economic recession and the particular financial squeeze within the country. all these combined together bear on me.
⦁ time limit: there is also a limited amount of time in the course of investigation. this based on the fact that the researcher will have other tasks to perform; these often include assignments in the school going for lectures, preparation for tests, examinations and others to maintain, but few.
the school authority imposed a time limit on the submission of the complete work. based on the submission of the completed work. Based on these, the project will cover those areas that are very crucial to the problems under investigation.
- lack of trust: another limitation is that i was not permitted to make use of certain documents for security purposes because the organization would not like its secret to leak out despite the backup letter given by the project coordinator.
