Challenging Your Talent Management and Succession Planning Programs

Why Should You Attend:

When organizations launch succession planning and talent management programs, the organizers are often asked to find ways to evaluate those programs. But evaluating talent management and succession planning programs is not the same as evaluating training and development programs. New approaches must be explored. There is no such thing as one approach that can be installed; rather, organizational leaders must think through what they want and how to measure it. This webinar will analyze these measures and offer participants best practices for evaluating succession planning and talent management.

Learning Objectives:

• Explain unique challenges in evaluating succession planning and talent management programs
• Summarize important models to guide approaches to evaluate succession planning and talent management programs
