How to identify and develop the next generation of leaders:

The 2014 HR Trends Survey shows that organizations need to put succession management at the top of their priority list. How we manage top talent and staff risks, while challenged with gaps between required and existing skills is of significant importance to HR; as is the need to build leadership capacity – for today’s future.

In this full-day workshop, participants will take a closer look at how to plan, develop, manage and measure a succession pipeline for their next generation of leaders.
