Succession planning is a critical yet often underutilised strategy that helps organisations prepare for change and build a resilient, future-ready workforce.

Whether it's an unexpected departure or a long-anticipated leadership transition, having a clear succession plan in place ensures business continuity, minimises disruption, and supports the growth and retention of internal talent. This topic provides a practical and comprehensive suite of resources to help employers:

  • Identify key roles and potential successors
  • Plan for both emergency and long-term transitions
  • Develop and retain high-potential employees
  • Align succession strategies with broader business goals
