Leading The Performance Management & Succession Planning Function
25th – 29th November 2024 – Rotterdam
23rd – 27th June 2025 – Rotterdam
This programme has been designed as an intervention to address identified learning needs in the areas of performance management and succession planning. This function has become exceedingly necessary for organisations to measure the performance of their staff to ensure optimal performance, as well as, proactively grooming successors by overcoming the expense and risk associated with seeking talents from outside where ready replacements are often limited.
It is about ensuring the employees and organization are focused on the same priorities. The programme looks at performance management and succession planning from the organization’s perspective as well as the line manager’s and it will give line managers the skills and knowledge they require to carry out their functions effectively
