7 Goals Of Succession Planning<\/h1>\n

Succession Planning is a process by which an organization ensures that employees are recruited and developed to fill key roles within a company. Succession planning is not just about establishing paths for promotion, it\u2019s about matching the right person for every job in a company. For example, if a key position in the organization has a high probability of being vacated by pending retirement or flight risk, a plan to identify another individual with the right skills and experience to replace them needs to be made ahead of time.<\/p>\n

The process of succession planning enables an organization to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Determine the right skill mix to achieve company goals and determine what gaps need closing.<\/li>\n
  2. Identify talented employees and provide education to develop them for future responsibilities.<\/li>\n
  3. Identify which employees that are at risk of leaving.<\/li>\n
  4. Identify and plan steps to retain superior employees.<\/li>\n
  5. Build \u201cbench strength\u201d by identifying positions key to the company\u2019s success.<\/li>\n
  6. Determine where employees best fit in the organization.<\/li>\n
  7. Identify employees who are poor performers or who don\u2019t align with the company\u2019s goals.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Effective succession planning requires clarity on an organization\u2019s long term goals. The process needs to take into account the developmental needs and goals of each employee. Key employees then need to understand the roles, responsibilities, and career paths of the positions that they are being developed to fill. Job employment trends in the organization\u2019s industry must be examined to identify roles that are difficult to fill externally and then acted upon to recruit more widely or offer more training internally.<\/p>\n
