Talent and succession management is the process of gathering information on employees relating to performance, development, talent and career in order to assist senior management with succession management. It aids the internal recruitment process and helps ensure that the right person is being chosen for the job. Effective talent and succession management ensures that there will always be someone ready for higher roles and that employees are being developed to take on new responsibilities, develop new skills, and feel valued within the organisation.
