HR Graduate Certification - Talent Management and Succession Planning

This module focuses on the development of a holistic talent management strategy that includes, talent review, succession planning, and talent development.

With stiff competition for talent and increasing emphasis on productivity, KPIs and ROIs, HR practitioners must have a well thought out strategy that will allow them to put in place the right structure, system and processes, to deliver, capture and track manpower value for their company.

Through actual case studies on talent management practices in companies, participants will have a better understanding of the application of these talent management concepts in companies.

Participants will be exposed to real industry practices in identifying talent risks from an employee database, followed by the development of an appropriate succession plan plus the identification of any necessary talent development plans.

The combined approach of actual case studies and hands-on practice is to provide course participants with a realistic view of what talent management is like in practice and enable them to apply what they have learnt back at the workplace.

By the end of this 2-day module, participants will be able to:

• demonstrate understanding of talent management and succession planning concepts and the activities and tools involved.

• understand how companies approach TM and SSP in reality and challenges faced by HR practitioners.

• adopt a process to develop a talent management strategy.
