5 Questions to Ask to Kick Start Your Succession Plan<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This year, we?re celebrating five years of\u00a0Peopleconnexion PNG<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In these five years, we’ve watched teams and organisations flourish even through the toughest of business climates.<\/p>\n

There’s one thing they all seem to have in common:\u00a0the right people, in the right roles, at the right time.<\/h4>\n

It sounds so simple, but is challenging to execute. This is what we see every day in recruitment.<\/p>\n

In our experience, one of the best ways that organisations can be proactive about assessing and developing their ?bench strength? is through succession planning.<\/p>\n

According to last year’s\u00a0McKinsey-led research for Talent Wins<\/a>, two-thirds of companies had no succession plans in place. What do you think the rate is in PNG?<\/p>\n

As more and more organisations look to build their local capability and move PNG citizens into the C-suite, the reality is that\u00a0now\u00a0is the perfect time to start (or revisit) a succession plan.<\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n

The good news is that it’s never too late to launch a plan, and it starts with just a few simple questions to get the ball rolling:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. How can you make succession planning a habit, not a lengthy exercise – what if you started reviewing your talent pipeline as regularly as your financials?<\/li>\n
  2. What can you do to change the conversation and attitudes around succession planning from one that is focused on ?replacement? to retention, development and future-proofing?<\/li>\n
  3. \u00a0Does your HR team have a seat at the strategic decision-making table, and what do you need to do to get them there?<\/li>\n
  4. \u00a0Think about your organisation’s five-year plan ? what are the skillsets you are going to need?<\/li>\n
  5. \u00a0Could you develop these skills internally now, or do you need to hire externally for the express purpose of building that skillset?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    From our salary survey last year, we found that the number one reason candidates were changing jobs was a lack of career development in their current role. In our\u00a0Coaching & Mentoring workshops<\/a>, we’ve seen the difference that investments in structured learning and development programs can have on a company.<\/p>\n

    In this respect, succession planning is not only a great tool for organisations to retain and train talent, it’s fantastic for ?hiring<\/em>\u00a0talent. Candidates will go (and often, stay) where they know they have access to opportunities and chances to move up in the organisation.<\/p>\n
