Attributes for Succession Plan Candidates
You use attributes to specify which of your candidates on a succession plan are most capable of assuming the plan role.
Attribute | Indicates | Comments |
---|---|---|
Readiness | How soon a person can take up the job or position of the plan. |
You select a readiness level based on these factors:
By seeing the readiness levels of all candidates in a plan, you can determine the bench strength for the job or position and your organization. For example, if no candidate is likely to be ready in the next 2 years, the bench strength is poor. You can add other candidates in this case. |
Candidate Ranking | Order of preference for a succession plan candidate to fill the job associated with the plan. |
You can rank candidates across the entire plan, or you can rank candidates within a readiness category. You can have multiple candidates with the same ranking across readiness categories. |
Interim Successor | The candidate can't be considered as an actual prospect but can perform the duties of the incumbent, or for the job or position, until an actual successor is identified. | NA |
