The City of Fort Collins like many organizations is experiencing a "brain drain" which
places the City at a critical juncture: the need for experienced and seasoned
professional staff members has never been greater and the trend which shows these
organizational members as the most likely to be departing the organization in the very
near future. The focus of the organization, combined with the current trend of more and
more employees retiring indicates that a comprehensive method to replace talent
throughout the organization is needed: the creation of a Succession Plan.
The most popular and effective approach is Succession Planning. More than simply
replacing positions that become vacant, succession planning is an ongoing process of
identifying, assessing, and developing talent to ensure leadership and management
continuity throughout an organization. It ensures that replacements have been prepared
to fill key vacancies on short notice, and that individuals have the development capacity
to assume greater responsibilities and exercise increased technical proficiency and
expanded management role in their work.
The core question is how to go about creating a succession plan: assess the current
workforce, identify gaps in capabilities between now and the future, provide a series of
recommendations to close those gaps and present it for consideration and adoption.
Specifically, our contributions will resemble the following range of services:
1. Analyze workforce demographics and determine key positions/at risk.
2. Assess HR policies and practices related to recruitment, selection, training,
development, and performance appraisal. Results and recommendations
provided in written report.
3. Establish competencies necessary to be high performers in front-line, mid -
management and executive positions. Those employees invited to attend shall
be high performing employees.
4. Design process to select employees for participation in succession planning
program, including preparing official announcement and application.
5. Administer 360-degree process for employees choosing to participate, including
facilitating a two-hour meeting with candidates and oversee administrative
process.
6. Facilitate on -site 1-1 consultation with employees that have received 360-degree
feedback. Purpose is to review feedback and assist with creation of Individual
Development and Training Plan.
7. Aggregate results of all employees who participate in 360-degree process and
determine key themes. Provide series of recommendations that will address
themes.
