Succession Planning: Preparing for the Perfect Labor Storm

Location: Online
Date: Ended

Presenter: Ira Wolfe

There is overwhelming agreement among executives that succession planning is critical for business continuity. But only one-third of companies have a plan in place – and that’s for the CEO level. The numbers are worse for upper and middle management and almost non-existent for other positions. An even more compelling story is that for those companies with plans more than four in ten employees rate their companies’ talent efforts as “fair” or “poor.”

The clock is ticking. Baby boomers are preparing to slow down or retire. Skill deficiencies in the replacement talent pool are increasing. Globalization and technology are changing the future and nature of work. Succession planning from top to bottom in every organization has never been more important.

1. Perfect Labor Storm: workforce trends that should be keeping executives awake at night
2. The New “Normal”: the state of talent management 2011
