Although Succession planning is not a new phenomenon, it is of growing concern for Leaders and Management. We have been hearing it for the last decade, the warning of the boomers aging and leaving the workforce… then recessionary times called bluff. Don’t get too comfortable now, the boomers are still aging and inevitably leaving the workforce.
So what to do about succession planning?… start planning!
Tally and qualify your resources, consider how effectively and efficiently they have been training subsequent staff. Consider who you currently have on staff that may fulfill
such roles, or put a hiring plan in place, with overlap for cross training. Formulate a process whereby the transfer of knowledge can begin, inspire the next generation to step up and fill the big, or not so big shoes that have been left for them…
