Running Succession Reports
This topic provides an overview of succession planning reports and describes the pages used to run Succession Planning reports.
The summary metrics in Succession Planning reports enable administrators to see key people or roles that are in line for succession planning and identify key persons or roles that require succession plans. This enables organizations to define activities and strategies to search for and select the best candidates for person and role-based succession plans.
Key Person/Job Codes/Positions
The Key Person/Job Codes/Positions page enables you to create the following reports:
Plans for Key Entities, people, positions, and job codes
Projected Vacancy for Key People
Risk of Leaving for Key People
The Plans for Key Entities report tracks the status of succession plans for key people, key job codes, or key positions, as of the report date.
The Projected Vacancy for Key People report provides information about projected vacancies, career readiness information for a key employee or person's next job code or position, and the availability of successors to fill their projected vacancy.
The Risk of Leaving for Key People report enables managers and administrators to view the likelihood of key people leaving and impact of their loss on the organization. The system also indicates whether there are any possible successors to replace key employees with a high risk of leaving.
Talent Pool Readiness
The Talent Pool Readiness report displays all of the active members of an active talent pool. Changing the filters for the report enables managers and administrators to evaluate various talent pool readiness values.
Talent Pool Ratings Box Assignments
The Talent Pool Ratings Box report displays a box rating assignment summary of talent pool members for a given talent pool.
