Identifying and developing internal candidates to fill key leadership roles.
Succession planning is the process of identifying and developing internal employees to fill critical leadership and specialist positions in the future — particularly when current role holders resign, retire, or are promoted. Effective succession planning reduces organizational risk, accelerates leadership development, and motivates high-potential employees by providing clear career pathways. HR software supports succession planning with talent pools, readiness assessments, 9-box grids, and development tracking for identified successors.
