Talent Management and Succession Planning

Description

The key differentiator between good and great organisations is their ability to find, develop and retain talent. With the advent of the banking crisis and the subsequent world recession, organisations across the world have had to make cuts, yet realising like never before that the retention and continued development of key people in critical roles is the key to survival.

This second edition of our best-selling toolkit includes new tools that reflect this new reality, in particular the necessity to find creative ways of retaining relationships whilst still letting some people go.

In addition, it continues to provide practical guidance, checklists, activities and tools to enable you to:
- clarify what talent management and succession planning actually are;
- identify the talents your organisation needs now and in the future;
- set up talent management and succession planning processes, including managing, developing and retaining talented individuals, and attracting those individuals in the first place;
- train your managers on your policies and processes;
- benchmark and evaluate your policies to measure their success.
