Succession Planning for HR: Finding the Deep End of Your Executive Talent Pool

Succession Planning for HR Webinar Recording

"Those who fail to prepare, prepare to fail!" It's an old saying but one never more true for organizations without a leadership succession plan in place.

Leading a workforce isn't easy. From the C-Suite down to front line supervisors, leaders are having to do more with less while managing an increasingly stressed out workforce, one frustrated from a slow-to-improve economy. Good managers are hard to find, and when you have one driving your organization's success, you want her to stick around for the long haul, and assume positions of increasing responsibility.

But without a succession plan in place, the best leaders leave. Maybe they're jumping ship for a better offer or perhaps they feel trapped in a dead-end role. And it's a common problem. 83 percent of C-suite executives say they haven't identified a successor. That's why it's crucial for you to develop and apply a plan so your organization can make a seamless transition that keeps it productive and on track, even as the torch passes.

Participate in this interactive webinar, and in just 90 minutes, you'll learn:

• What an effective succession plan entails
