Succession Planning

Succession planning is the process of identifying and developing in-house employees to fill top managerial or executive positions when current leaders retire, resign, or move into new roles. It ensures business continuity by evaluating employees' skills, performance, and readiness, then providing targeted development to prepare them for greater responsibility. A strong succession plan builds a reliable internal talent pipeline, reducing the risk and cost of an unplanned leadership gap.
