Overview:

Succession planning is a plan of activities in the event of planned or unplanned leadership vacancies. It is a process that starts from recruiting employees, developing their skills and abilities, and preparing them for advancement to fill key positions and top leadership jobs within your organisation. All organisations around the globe need to ensure that there are highly qualified people in all positions, not just for today, but for the future aswell.

The key differentiator between good and great organisations is their ability to find, develop and retain talent. There needs to be a match between the organisation’s future needs and the aspirations of the individual employee if the organisation is to survive. It will only be through ensuring the continuity of its management and having the right people in the right place at the right time with the right skills that will ensure this to happen.

The five day intensive workshop will equip you with the skills and knowledge to create a successful succession plan and retain the talented staff that are already in place within your organisation. It is an essential programme for organisations wishing to take a more strategic and integrated approach to organisational resourcing, promotion and development strategies.
