Career & Succession Planning

Retaining the best talent in your organisation means offering real career development, and capability-based succession planning creates an effective leadership structure for the future. The StepStone Solution Career & Succession Planning module supports the entire succession planning process, aiding your decisions regarding potential successors for key positions and facilitating internal mobility. Career moves based on false assumptions are avoided by comparing individual expectations against supervisor evaluations. Succession scenarios give you a graphic representation of the effects HR decisions have at leadership level and possible reshuffling within your organisation.

Career & Succession Planning helps you to generate career development plans, comparing your vacancies with internal and external candidates to strategically plan for current and future requirements. The module supports you in every step of the career and succession planning process, with information about a candidate’s potential, their past performance and retention risk, as well as standard master data. This information offers an excellent basis to evaluate your HR processes, for example breaking the habit of keeping the best employees in their current departments at the expense of the greater organisation.

Career & Succession Planning is the ideal complement to StepStone Solutions’ Performance Management, Skills & Competency Management, Learning Management, 360 Degree Feedback and Compensation Management.
