Plan Successions

To ensure an organization's continued success, you need to determine who will eventually replace employees currently in key positions. The Plan Successions business process in HR enables you to identify candidates for key positions, anticipate organizational bottlenecks, and develop multiple career paths for individuals who are ready for promotion.

To implement the Plan Successions business process:

1. Perform the prerequisite tasks.

2. Create the succession plans.

3. (Optional) Build the succession trees.

Once the succession trees are in place, you can review career summaries, monitor the progress of key employees, track changes to key positions, and make adjustments to successions plans as the requirements of the organization change over time.
