Career Development and Succession Planning training Course

Introduction:

A succession plan is a strategic approach that aims to identify and develop employees for future advancement within an organization. This proactive process is crucial because, as an organization expands, it becomes more cost-effective to nurture and promote existing employees into key positions rather than recruit new individuals. Implementing a succession plan not only provides employees with a clear career trajectory but also enhances their engagement and retention, leading to a more motivated and committed workforce.
