Talent and Succession Planning
Organisations with talent and succession planning programmes in place foster a talent-oriented culture by recruiting skilled workers. Succession planning is a talent management process that builds a pool of trained workers who are ready to fill key roles when leaders and other key employees step down.
Talent management is the process of identifying and developing key individuals in a business that possess important knowledge, skills and abilities. The focus is to retain essential capabilities in the workforce to maintain business competitiveness.
The talent management process here at Centric HR provides key individuals with an opportunity to develop their skills and experience by engaging in challenging duties, professional development and career growth, which in turn helps to build loyalty to the business. We focus on identifying and growing talent to fill leadership and critical business positions in the future. In the face of skills shortages, succession planning has gained popularity, and is now carried out in both large and smaller organisations.
