Succession Planning and Employer Branding

In a LinkedIn post, Emmalee Amthor wrote, “Succession planning is an investment in an organization's future. Here’s why.

“1. Continuity: It ensures the smooth transition of key positions when employees retire, leave, or are promoted, reducing disruptions in workflow.

“2. Talent Development: It identifies and nurtures potential future leaders, fostering their growth within the organization.

“3. Risk Mitigation: Succession planning mitigates the risk of leadership vacuums, helping organizations avoid crises during unexpected departures.

“4. Employee Engagement: It can boost morale and engagement by showing employees that the organization values their development and growth.

“5. Cost Savings: Developing internal talent is often more cost-effective than recruiting externally.

“6. Strategic Alignment: Succession planning aligns leadership development with the organization's strategic goals and long-term vision.”

Not only does Emmalee provide great perspective on the value of succession planning, but she talks about how she developed a passion for employer branding and how she’s using it as a human resources professional on her campus.
