Case

Succession Planning
Employees can be unpredictable and it is helpful to always be
prepared for the worst. Thus, planning is very important when dealing with
volatile employees. Succession planning is a process for identifying and
developing internal employees with the potential to fill key leadership
positions in an organization. Imagine the CFO of your organization quitting
without any prior notice. Who would be able to take over such a critical role?
Many organizations are ill-prepared for such organizational dilemmas.
Succession planning must include a well-designed employee development system to
reach its potential. Having a pipeline of employees who are adequately trained
with the knowledge, skills, and abilities (i.e., KSAs) of replacing key
employees is mandatory for organizational effectiveness.
Drawing on the material in the background readings and doing
additional research, please prepare a 3-5 page paper (not including the cover
and reference pages) in which you:
Analyze
the aging workforce from a human resource professional perspective and
discuss the added value of having an aging workforce when recruiting new
talent. Also, what impact will an aging workforce have on an
organization’s overall image?With
a significant amount of baby boomers retiring, prepare a detailed and
comprehensive succession plan for your organization.

SLP

After doing some research on job sharing, discuss the pros and
cons to job sharing. Should job sharing be an option for all employees? Is it
beneficial for the organization to allow job sharing? Justify your response.
Lastly, write a memo to your employees regarding a new job sharing policy.
Your paper should be short (2-3 pages, not including the cover
sheet, references, and assessment sheet) and to the point. You are
expected to deal with these issues in an integrated fashion, rather than
treating them as a series of individual questions to be answered one by one and
left at that.
You will be particularly assessed on:
Your
completion of all the steps in the exercise.Your
ability to synthesize information and present a concise and meaningful
paper.The
clarity and quality of your writing.
