Succession Planning
Succession planning is the foundation for organizational growth and sustainability
The last step in the employee lifecycle is when a staff member officially moves on from their role. Succession planning is the establishment of a process to ensure that when important roles are vacated, the organization has a plan in place to identify and develop internal candidates to fill them.Â
Our approach to the succession planning process will help your organization establish a clear path to continuity, including identifying key job skills, knowledge, relationships, and practices so you can get the right people into the right roles to keep growing for the future.
10 Reasons to Create a Succession Plan
- Business Continuity: Maintain operations even during transitions.
- Reduced Costs to Fill Positions: Reduce recruitment and training expenses.
- Leadership Success: Prepare current and future leaders to meet challenges head-on.
- Employee Commitment and Engagement: Build a motivated and dedicated workforce.
- Retention of Key Talent: Keep your most valuable employees engaged and loyal.
- Replace Marginal Talent: Upgrade your team by replacing underperformers.
- Fewer Unfilled Positions: Ensure key roles remain filled by developing your talent pipeline.
- Greater Investor Confidence: Demonstrate stability and innovation to stakeholders.
- Targeted Investment on Development: Focus resources on developing high-potential employees.
- Greater Capacity for Growth: Equip your organization to expand and thrive.
