Commit to Success With Staff Succession Planning

Finding and retaining good employees has always been a challenge for many organizations, and keeping employees engaged enough to perform at high levels has become tantamount to success. One factor that contributes heavily to each of these areas is organizational succession planning.

While in the past it has only been applied to C-level leaders, the need for effective succession planning throughout the entire organization is now key to sustaining ongoing stability and future growth. This form of “planning,” whether it be applied to the shop floor, office administrators or executive suites, must bring together many elements to achieve the desired results, including:

• Documenting Job Descriptions
• Executing Effective Performance Reviews
• Implementing a Capability Database
• Conducting a Training Needs Analysis
• Following a Nine-Block Leadership Competency Model
