Company Benefits  

The list below includes the benefits of succession planning for a company. 

  1. It helps identify more quickly which employees will take over the company’s pivotal open positions so a business can continue to run as normal. 
  2. It creates a path for retiring employees to hand off their years of hard-earned knowledge and transition important working relationships before they leave. The “baton is easily passed from one to another.” 
  3. Dedicating time to plan the future of your organization saves time and money. Recruiting external candidates and finding the right replacement can be expensive. 
  4. It uncovers the weaknesses that an organization must work on to secure business and financial growth. Your company can create a formal training and development structure. 
  5. It gives your company a great perspective of the current talent in your organization. 
  6. It helps your company retain knowledgeable and valuable employees.
