Succession Planning
Human Resources and People Operations
Succession planning is a strategic process organizations use to identify and develop internal employees who can fill key leadership or critical roles when current leaders retire, leave, or are promoted. HR professionals and executives use it to ensure business continuity, reduce disruption from unexpected departures, and build a pipeline of trained talent. It typically involves talent assessments, mentorship programs, and structured development plans for high-potential employees.
