Planning for the future - succession planning 💡

Over the past few months, team stability has been a critical focus for many businesses. With a focus on retention and recruitment, succession planning may have slipped off the radar.

Effective succession planning can help businesses minimise the risk of disruption and maintain continuity in the face of unexpected events. It can also ensure the organisation has the right people to drive growth and meet future challenges.

Succession planning is identifying and developing potential future leaders or key employees within an organisation to ensure that the business can continue to operate effectively in the event of the departure of key team members. It is a critical aspect of talent management that helps businesses maintain continuity and stability.

To look at succession planning simplistically, it involves:

• Assessing the skills and abilities of current employees.
• Identifying potential future managers and leaders.
• Creating a plan to develop their skills and knowledge.

The cost savings of 'growing your own' talent and onboarding at entry-level roles can be attractive.

However, promoting from within is only sometimes an option, so it's also essential to identify external candidates suitable for future leadership roles. This may include building relationships with potential candidates and keeping them engaged with the organisation.
