Hello all,

I am sure you all must have heard and read about Succession Planning. I want to know the practical aspects of it. How to start the process in a company where there are 500 employees and how to go about it.

Thanks,

It begins with identifying the attrition rate. If it's high in a particular department, then target that first.

1. Identify the key positions.
2. Identify the qualities required to fulfill that role.
3. Identify the likely successors, a minimum of 2 to 3 for each key role.
4. An assessment center is a reliable way to identify, but if it seems costly, then assign a rating/numbers to the qualities identified for the role and rate each of them as per the requirements. Sum up all the ratings; the highest scorer is successor 1, and the rest would be the 2nd likely successor and so on.

Deepa Thakkar.
