HCM — Succession Planning
Identify key roles, name successors, and track their readiness.
Plan succession
- Go to HCM → Succession.
- Mark the key roles you need cover for.
- For each, name one or more successors and set their readiness (e.g. ready now, 1–2 years, development needed).
- Add development notes so the plan is actionable.
Why it matters
Succession planning reduces key-person risk. Pairing it with the skills matrix shows you exactly what development each successor needs to be ready.
