Course Description
Where will your new managers come from?
The approaching demographic shift is an unprecedented workforce crisis - in fact, it will be the largest turnover in human capital in history. Yet, studies prove that most human resources executives have trouble identifying what skills and experience are crucial to a company’s mission.
The fact that most companies really don’t know how to succession plan and grow a next generation of leaders is perhaps the least understood crisis of our times. We can’t continue to be a workforce reliant only on the expertise of Baby Boomers—especially considering 40% of our workforce will be eligible to retire in the next few years!
Succession planning establishes a process that recruits employees, develops their skills and abilities, and prepares them for advancement, all while retaining them to ensure a return on the organization's training investment. In the past, succession planning typically targeted only key leadership positions.
In today's organizations, it is important to include key positions in a variety of job categories and prepare for the loss of critical knowledge and numerous positions vacated by retiring Baby Boomers. In this informative audio conference, you will learn step-by-step guidelines for effective succession planning to ensure your organization’s survival.
