Why Succession Planning Matters

Effective succession planning is crucial for maintaining organisational stability, nurturing new talent, and retaining critical skills within your business. Here’s why it’s essential:

1. Retaining Key Personnel

Organisations that implement succession planning experience higher employee retention rates, as employees see clear career progression opportunities. This approach enhances job satisfaction and loyalty, reducing costly turnover[1].

2. Nurturing Apprenticeship Talent

Apprenticeships play a pivotal role in developing future talent. In England, there were 349,190 apprenticeship starts in the 2022/23 academic year, highlighting their significance in workforce development[2]. Employers report that 86% of apprentices develop skills relevant to their organisation, and 80% see a significant increase in employee retention as a result[3].

3. Preserving Skills of Retiring Employees

With an aging workforce, capturing the expertise of retiring employees is vital. Succession planning ensures knowledge transfer, allowing businesses to retain critical skills and organisational insights[4].

4. Ensuring Business Continuity

Succession planning prepares organisations for unexpected departures, minimising disruptions and maintaining operational stability in critical roles[5].

Avoiding recruitment is best. Replacing an employee can cost businesses in the UK up to £30,000, factoring in recruitment, training, and lost productivity[6].

Without succession planning, businesses risk losing both talent and operational efficiency, affecting long-term growth.
