Succession Planning

Peoplefluent Succession Planning allows you to systematically build and maintain talent pools and succession slates across your total workforce. By assessing employee talent capabilities and aligning them with critical roles, key open positions can be quickly filled with the strongest candidate.

Interactive Succession Planning Organizational Chart

View the readiness of potential successors for key positions directly from interactive organizational charts. Your managers can easily review individual workers to identify their slated positions and the current talent pool for their vacancy.

Your managers also have single click access to individuals’ Talent Profile, Goals and recent Evaluations.  They can see the availability and readiness of successors to key positions directly from their actionable organizational charts. These charts visually display the bench strength behind positions and identify the potential successors. Your managers can drill down to see the source of potential successors and their Talent Profiles.

Talent Profiles

Collect and organize standard details about your workforce using the employee talent profiles. Talent profiles are easily accessible based on access rights and can help identify succession candidates for key positions. Talent profiles include performance reviews, competencies, work history, career interests, language skills and compensation. Information contained within the Mobility & Travel page can also guide which potential candidates are open to relocation for the right position.

Talent Profiles are readily accessible and searchable as managers develop succession plans, perform talent assessments, and fill open positions. The talent profile can also include information provided by employees, such as their career aspirations and ability to relocate.

Succession Slates and Talent Pools

Peoplefluent Succession Planning provides flexibility to help you manage the succession process by person, position or job pool. Each option gives organizations distinct options to consider talented people on their teams.

Build succession planning slates to fill key roles within your organization and add high performers to talent pools for a specific position. View a list of potential successors for particular roles and evaluate

the readiness and flight risk of those candidates. You can also evaluate the diversity of succession pools and slates and identify high performers slated for multiple roles.

• Succession Slates by Person: For key succession roles, individual slates can be created and managed, providing the name of the candidate, access to his or her most up-to-date Talent Profile information and candidate readiness to take on the responsibilities of the position.
• Succession Slates by Position: Peoplefluent Succession Planning supports building your talent pools by position as well as by person. Slating by position gives you the ability to have slates available for open positions in which no incumbent executive currently holds the position.
• Succession Slates by Job Pools: Job pools create bench strength by selecting and capturing the profiles of many people who may be qualified now or in the future for the position.

Career Path Development

With Peoplefluent solutions, you can use succession planning as a tool to determine career development needs of potential successors. If you have key positions for which there are no candidates identified, you can use the Talent Profile to search the closest match and then build leaders by creating person-specific career paths to sustain their leadership development objectives.

Your managers and HR professionals can see the availability and readiness of successors to key positions directly from their actionable organizational charts. These charts visually display the bench strength behind positions and identify the potential successors. Managers can drill down to see the source of potential successors and their Talent Profiles.

Leadership Calibration

With a full database of talent management data about top performers, your team has unprecedented capability to highlight leadership talents (or gaps) during executive sessions. Use calibration sessions to consider top performers and leaders using flexible performance criteria. Choose from a list of existing calibration settings (including the traditional 9-box grid) or set up a session to consider your own organization-specific criteria.

Succession Analytics

Identify your top talent and bench strength to quickly review the readiness of your organization to adapt to change. Powerful analytics provide single click access to determine your ability to backfill key roles when vacancies occur and mitigate the risk of leadership gaps. The interactive views also enable you to easily drill down to the details to review information specific to an individual.

Succession planning data collected in Peoplefluent Talent Management creates an unprecedented rich portrait of the organization. The information provides detailed insights into the people and therefore the health of the business in a timely and scalable way that is simply not possible using traditional data collection methods. These insights are meaningful to the business. Peoplefluent’s Decision View, SmartGrid and SmartChart capabilities give you ownership of this data not only to view the data included, but to interact with it to make discoveries, learn more about the team, and take action.
