Talent and Succession
What are the talent and succession gaps we must address to ensure sustained performance?
Human Resources must understand both the skill gaps and talent risks within the organization and plan accordingly. A Talent and Succession review allows HR to assess recruiting, staff transfer, and succession planning needs—to see how skills and qualifications meet requirements for today and tomorrow's performance.
Other data such as turnover analysis, average tenure, and time in position also help define succession plans.
With the Talent and Succession decision area, you can set planning goals and scorecarding metrics for performance management elements such as:
- Employee satisfaction index (#)
- Succession and talent gaps (#)
- Average skill / experience rating (current and target)
- Average tenure (years)
- Retirements (#)
Most importantly, you can analyze these goals and metrics by a number of dimensions to find the hidden gems in the data underpinning better performance:
- Fiscal month / year
- Skill type
- Full time / part time
- Job grade level
- Job type
- Division / department
