Training & Development “
To ensure that your efforts are successful, it is important to monitor and evaluate each part of the plan and make necessary adjustments
not done thoroughly and objectively.
Step 3: Identify succession management methods
Now that critical positions have been recognised and competencies identified, the next step is to choose a range of methods to achieve the succession. These might include developing people already on the team, sounding out people employed elsewhere and testing people at lower levels to see if they have the potential to do critical jobs in the future.
Note - This may not have been the case when you were hired, but many employers now use recruitment interviews for a vacancy at one level to test the future potential of the candidates - to do more critical jobs in higher level work roles.
Step 4: Implement succession plans
Once methods have been identified; the next step is to write a flow chart or an action plan. The action plan should have clearly defined milestones and timings and indicate who will be doing what, i.e. roles and responsibilities.
Note - You could be well placed to help your organisation to use such an action plan to help them raise their recruitment and planning standards - not just maintain previous standards.
Step 5: Evaluate Effectiveness of the Succession Plan
To ensure that your efforts are successful, it is important to monitor and evaluate each part of the plan and make necessary adjustments.
Note - You could be well placed to help your organisation to see such a plan as a step forward and not an immediately perfect process. Your organisation will get better and better at doing this as time goes by.
So, good luck with your succession planning! It is a cheap and simple way of ensuring work performance standards are maintained or enhanced at times of change. You stand to benefit - as an employer and as an employee.
