Do You Have an Authentic Business Succession Plan?

In order to appropriately engage talent and retain quality employees, your succession plan must be both transparent and authentic. 

Many things about the modern employment contract have shifted in recent years but employee commitment is usually still rewarded with development opportunities that will be beneficial for that employee’s career mobility down the road. For the most ambitious of the employees, the highest reward is usually the opportunity to have a position at the top of the company. Succession management is usually the biggest tool that organizations use in order to vet candidates who may be capable of taking on these top positions. This usually happens with the practice of promoting from within.
