Succession planning ensures that employees with the right skills are assigned to the right positions.

It can be used to determine who can fill a certain position quickly if it is suddenly vacated. It is also about understanding the skills of every employee along with their needs; matching the employee’s needs with those of the organisation.

To successfully execute the succession planning process, performance and potential data needs to be captured, analysed and presented.

Incorporated directly in emPerform, the Succession Manager and the Talent Matrix allow HR and managers to draw from the performance history of employees through past performance reviews, 360-degree reviews and surveys to readily identify the individuals that have the performance and potential to meet new challenges.

The Talent Matrix integrates the data directly into your employee appraisal process, providing a nine-box view of your internal talent. Your organisation will be able to focus on employee skill and competency development. You will also be able to target and track the progress of candidates for promotion.
