Succession planning matters more as the workforce ages under falling birth rates and better healthcare. Organizations can no longer count on young people filling entry-level roles, and hiring from outside is harder when competitors are also short of talent after years of downsizing and cost-cutting.
This 60-minute succession planning webinar explains what succession planning is and how it differs from related practices such as talent management and workforce planning. You'll review conceptual models that guide systematic implementation, along with current trends and new thinking in the field.
The session also looks at the most common succession planning mistakes and how to avoid them, so leaders committed to developing their people can put a workable plan in place.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
When a key employee leaves or retires without a successor, the business risks disruption and the loss of hard-won knowledge. A systematic succession plan protects continuity, builds a pipeline of future leaders, keeps institutional knowledge in-house and supports engagement, retention and diverse leadership.
This session suits senior managers, business owners, HR vice presidents and managers, and talent and organization development professionals. It also touches on legal points such as non-discriminatory practices.
