Succession Planning (Online)

MDIS


Course introduction

People are our most valuable asset' is a cliché which no member of any senior management team would disagree with. Yet, the reality for many organisations is their people remain undervalued, undertrained, underappreciated and underutilized, leading to potential loss of talent.
The market place for talented, skilled people is competitive and can be very expensive to maintain. Taking on new staff can be disruptive to existing employees. Also, it takes time to develop 'cultural awareness', product/ process/ organisation knowledge and experience for new staff members.
