The transparent talent pool

Whilst succession planning can prove to be one of the toughest parts of your people management strategy, Erik Berggren argues that by creating a transparent talent pool, organisations will find themselves in a win-win situation.

No one can afford not to take advantage of the current supply of their talent. With increased competition for talent and increased attrition, this poses both a cost issue, as well as a strategic concern for organisations today.

• Just how do you go about it?




• What are the real business benefits to the organisation?
