REtention & Succession Planning Checklist
The ability to retain your best staff is critical to the success of every organization, and when you can’t retain a high-performing leader, identifying and developing a successor early is crucial. The below checklist is a starting point to help you gauge the health of your organization’s retention and succession planning within the framework I use with clients. No strategy checks every box, but if you have a strong plan to retain your top performers and plan for vacancies, you should hit at least 80% of these, both overall and within each section.
