SUCCESSION PLANNING
Ensure business continuity and mitigate risks associated with leadership vacancies
SECURE YOUR LEADERSHIP PIPELINE
The term succession planning refers to a business strategy companies use to pass leadership roles down to another employee or group of employees. Succession planning ensures that businesses continue to run smoothly and without interruption, after important people move on to new opportunities, retire, or pass away.
​
Good succession planning prepares individuals within your organization to take on critical roles when those positions become vacant, whether due to retirement, resignation, or other reasons. Alternatively, where suitable internal candidates may not be available, it prepares the organisation to hire replacements quickly and efficiently, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing disruption to business operations.
Companies risk disruptions when key team members retire, move on, or transition into other roles without a succession plan. Succession planning guarantees a pipeline of capable leaders who step up when needed.
WHY SUCCESSION PLANNING IS
CRITICAL FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Ensure Business Continuity
When those occupying highly specialized roles decide to leave, it might cause a huge strain on the organization’s bottom line and knowledge retention.
This is equally true for leadership roles.
Mitigate Talent Shortages
Talent shortages make it hard to attract and keep top talent. Effective succession planning allows organizations to grow and keep high-potential employees. This cuts the need for costly external recruitment and lowers the risk of talent gaps.
Foster Employee Engagement & Retention
A good succession plan can boost employee engagement. It shows commitment to developing and growing employees' careers, and boosts motivation and loyalty. This ultimately cuts turnover rates and costs of bringing on new hires.
Drive Business Goals
Succession planning ensures a pipeline of diverse, skilled leaders. This helps organizations navigate change, drives innovation, and responds to changing market demands.
Facilitate Knowledge Transfer
Losing knowledge is a big risk. Effective succession planning involves capturing and transferring institutional knowledge. It ensures that crucial information and expertise are not lost during transitions.
