Overview
The changing workforce and aging baby boomers are realities leading more organizations to seek help in understanding which of their staff is able and willing to fill key roles over the next five years. Determining the depth of the talent pipeline internally and externally isn’t easy. Succession planning is not a new concept, yet many struggle at creating processes and a robust approach that moves beyond a static list of names kept in a file. A succession planning program includes a focus on positions critical to the organization’s strategic plan as well as a focus on employees and their development. This session will cover the issues and challenges of succession in today’s workplace and provide some practical approaches and tools to guide effective Succession Planning.
This will be a virtual session, a login link will be sent out prior to the event.
