Human ResourcesHuman Resources’ role is to gather and compile data from performance results to create potential successor pools, which are comprised of individuals who possess the skills necessary for the exempt positions that could become vacant. In addition, Human Resources supports supervisors in completing items such as performance evaluations, stay interviews, and periodic coaching meetings as well as in developing employees for their next role.
ManagerManagers play a vital role in succession planning by effectively communicating with employees and taking an active role in employee development. The most effective succession planning involves managers who promote and encourage employee development. Managers should evaluate employees’ interest in the succession planning process and help develop employees for their next role.
EmployeeEmployees exempt from collective bargaining play an important role in succession planning. Exempt employees should think about their preferred career path and find ways to look into several positions of interest. Exempt employees who are interested in development either within their current pay grade (laterally) or in a higher pay grade (promotionally) should inform their manager of their interest and begin to develop a plan to achieve the desired position.
