Succession Planning

Introduction

Succession Planning protects the business by identifying business-critical functions and building a talent pipeline that ensures business continues to operate with minimum disruption under variety of people-related to scenarios – e.g. ageing workforce, employee turnover, talent planning to support business growth & expansion and unexpected workforce changes.
