Small to mid-sized organisations grapple with several succession planning concerns, from filling leadership gaps to passing key knowledge to the next generation. Larger organisations also have complex succession needs, with a strong focus on developing talent and ensuring business continuity.
Some do succession planning well and sleep well, and then there are those of us that lose sleep at night.
In this upcoming free webinar, the panel of executives and HR experts will discuss succession planning holistically, from finding areas of common concern to sharing practical advice and best practices.
Delegates are invited to check their Succession Readiness before the discussion to see where they stand. The readiness checklist can be completed online or downloaded as a PDF.
The panel of experts, moderated by Nick Smith of CHRO, will discuss their firsthand experiences around succession planning and how they resolve their concerns.
