Overview

The Career and Succession Planning module provides employee centric functionality as well as organizational level functionality.

From an organizational perspective, it facilitates the management of organizational positions from a planning perspective. Using the tools in this module, management can identify the personnel fit to given positions and personnel gaps that are being addressed. In addition, organizations can identify current and future staffing level issues such as qualification and timeline resourcing gaps. Career and succession planning also contributes to the recruiting function in identifying appropriate internal resources that can address planned staffing needs from a qualification perspective.

From an employee perspective, it enables employees to manage their career aspirations by identifying the steps necessary for them to achieve it. Employees can maintain multiple career plans, giving them the flexibility insofar as allowed by the public service, to aspire to specific positions based on the mandatory and optional skills needed by each position in the career plan.

Objectives and Benefits

Career Standing (for more information click here)

A career standing shows an employee's current employment status within an organization. When an employee's career standing earns higher levels of success gained through years of experience in a specific position, as well as positive comments and notes inputted by higher ranking superiors in the organization, an employee will have greater chances of obtaining advancement opportunities. When a staffing representative refers to the career standing information recorded in the system, he or she can make a more educated decision when hiring for a new position within the organization.
