COR 433 - Succession Management: Strategies for Leaders - City of Calgary - ALL
Course Description
Succession management is a talent management strategy that identifies, develops and retains internal talent for leader and business critical positions to support current and future business success.
At The City, succession management is about building bench strength (capability and readiness) so that a pool of qualified candidates is ready to compete for a position when it becomes vacant. It is not about promising a job to an employee or entitlement - the regular recruitment process applies in all job applications.
During this half-day workshop, participants will discover how succession fits in with the bigger picture and talent management processes at the City of Calgary.
