Learn More About Succession Planning December 9th, 2009

Heather McCulligh

Succession planning is one of those things that is still problematic for a lot of companies. Many organizations still get confused between replacement planning and succession planning. Others only consider the need to replace c-level executives rather than all critical roles/skills in the organization. And for many, it seems like a daunting task, so they put it off.

But succession planning is really important to the current and future success of your organization. And it really doesn’t have to be that hard.

Next week, we’re sponsoring an HCI webinar given by David Anderson, the Global Human Resources Manager at Double-Take Software. In his webinar “Talent Pool or Talent Puddle… How Deep is Your Succession Planning?”, David will explain how to implement systematic succession planning using talent pools to gain a competitive edge in a knowledge economy. He’ll look at the practical steps and practices you need to put in place and some of the metrics you need to track, as well as explore ways to avoid some of the common pitfalls companies run into, like panic-driven vacancy filling.

The webinar is on December 16th at 2 pm ET. Why not participate? You can get more details and register here. The webinar is free for Human Capital Institute Professional members, but you can request a free membership.
