Consultancy >> Career Progression Audit
Organisations may have all the talent they need to be successful but do not always identify it or apply it in the right areas. Career Progression Audits or succession planning can unlock the potential in your people and achieve real economic benefits.
Succession management planning refers to the identification and development of potential successors in a company. The key in succession management is to create a match between the company’s future needs and the aspirations of individual employees.
A well-developed succession planning process increases the retention of superior employees because they recognise that time, attention and skill development is being invested in them for the purpose of career development. When you continue to challenge and reward talented employees, you eliminate their need to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Developing leadership talent is a long-term investment. A working succession system results in having more than one good person available for a key job. Real success requires choices between two or more qualified people. In order to have choices, you need to identify who is ready now and what it will take to make others ready when you need them.
The SCE Enterprise team can help your organisation with its succession planning by:
- Helping you identify gaps in talent and identifying important lynchpin positions – the select set of jobs that are critical to the overall success of the organisation
- Enabling you to design simple succession processes which rely on best practices such as coaching, training and development
