HR planning is the process of identifying short-term and long-term emergency backups to fill critical positions.

This statement is inaccurate. HR planning is the process of identifying and forecasting future staffing needs, and developing strategies to ensure the organization has the right people in the right place at the right time. It involves identifying skills gaps, determining recruitment strategies, training and development needs, and succession planning. While emergency backups may be part of the HR planning process, they are not the sole focus.
