We put a talent pathway plan around the number one issue that really limits our growth, and where we spend most of our time. Talent planning works upstream to resolve and really take advantage of people related issues or opportunities before they impact your business, not afterwards. Talent planning really helps you be proactive, and not reactive.
Talent planning includes succession, it includes retention and includes hiring. It really addresses everything that you need to do on your team. And so when you get to a talent plan, it’s like, you know exactly what order of hire you’re going to make, who you’re going to promote. What’s the session plans you got to put in place. What is your development focus for each of your team members? So again, it lays out everything that you need to do over the next 3 years, and when a leader has that now they have confidence to execute that strategy because they got their people plan in place.
