Succession Planning
Put Saba Succession to work for you
"Access and Retention of Key Talent" was the #1 challenge for growth expressed by 97% of CEOs in PricewaterhouseCoopers' 12th annual Global CEO Survey in 2009. In this study and others, executives cite a number of common talent concerns:
- A shortage of talent for international expansion
- Rapidly retiring senior leadership in several countries
- A lack of bench strength, particularly in leadership and middle management
- High turnover of the most valuable employees due to lack of career growth
Saba Succession lets you understand your talent supply and demand gaps to unlock the value in your workforce and improve employee retention. Built specifically for end-users and managers instead of just administrators, Saba Succession powers strategic succession planning, internal recruiting, and talent mobility initiatives. With Saba Succession, you can:
- Identify risks at critical leadership positions.
- Develop the bench strength that prevents costly business disruptions.
- Mobilize pivotal talent beyond divisional boundaries.
- Find the people you need for critical growth initiatives.
- Engage and retain your top performers.
Talent calibration helps you understand your talent. Saba Succession utilizes Saba's unified people profile sitting at the core of the People System, Saba People Systems. This profile contains formal performance ratings and competency data as well as informal measures of employee success and potential. Managers have access to detailed information they can use to calibrate their talent, including performance, competency mastery, development history (through both formal and social learning), and full "internal resumes."
Increase employee retention. With Saba Succession, employees play an active role in succession processes by:
- Sharing their career interests
- Developing detailed career plans
- Proactively seeking new opportunities through internal job boards
- Analyzing their gaps versus position requirements
- Connecting with mentors to close those gaps
Align career development with strategy. Saba Succession's tight coupling with the Learning Management Solution, Saba Learning Suite makes the succession planning process actionable. You can automatically assign development activities to get people ready for their future roles, including formal and social learning as well as coaching and mentoring. Saba Succession also aligns succession planning and talent mobility together with performance and compensation management so employees can more easily prioritize career development against day-to-day work.
