The dynamics of organizational competitiveness has changed in the industrial sector and manpower planning and development is very important in increasing the productivity of the workforce. The research paper examines strategic human resource programs of manpower planning and employee development at the Jindal Steel and Power Limited (JSPL), Angul and their influence on the productivity, motivation, satisfaction and general performance of the organizations. Based on a quantitative research design, a questionnaire that consisted of five core dimensions, manpower planning practices, training and development programs, workforce productivity, organizational support mechanisms, and employee engagement and satisfaction, a sample of 300 employees was used to collect the relevant data out of the total population of 1900 employees working in different departments. The reliability analysis through Cronbach alpha revealed that all constructs have high internal consistency ( 0.80). The analysis was based on descriptive statistics, frequency analysis, and ANOVA tests that were used to determine the effectiveness and perception of the manpower development practices. The results indicate that effective manpower planning, harmonized training processes, and facilitating HR policies have a strong impact on workforce productivity. There was a high level of correlation between development initiatives and increased motivation of employees, job clarity, confidence of decision-making, and job performance.
