Provides managers with tools and resources to hold career conversations, succession plan and manage talent
Succession Planning
Succession planning is an integral part of the talent management cycle and is the process of identifying and developing potential future leaders or senior managers, as well as individuals who could fill other business-critical positions, either in the short or the long term. The aim is for organisations and systems to be willing and able to fill key roles effectively if the current post holder were to leave, whilst ensuring that the diversity, quantity and quality of leaders needed are identified, developed and supported to contribute.
