TotalPerformance™ Workforce & Succession Planning Datasheet

The TotalPerformance™ Workforce & Succession Planning module gives you the ability to plan ahead for growth and business change. Integrated with Performance Appraisal results, the succession planning module allows you to use performance data to assess succession readiness and identify competency gaps. Unlike other succession planning systems, our interactive performance matrix allows you to do more than just view data. You can work with that data to create succession scenarios and further analyze needs to ensure you create the bench strength you need to move into the future.

TotalPerformance Workforce & Succession Planning optimizes the deployment of your talent and strengthens your organization's performance and profitability. Not just a planning tool for filling open positions and managing ripple effects, today's succession planning function is a strategic approach to leadership development, skill development, and perhaps even more important as baby boomers retire preserving critical organizational knowledge. Strong employee bench strength means a strong team, and strong teams deliver strong business.

Performance/potential assessments

Performance and potential ratings can be gathered through special-purpose talent assessment surveys, or fed into the talent planning process from an existing performance appraisal or other existing systems.

Career management

With TotalPerformance talent planning, supervisors and HR have “at-a-glance” access to an employee's current position summary, targeted positions, and succession paths. The career summary includes performance history and ratings regarding potential, along with links to related performance reviews.

Employees can target multiple future positions and view gap analysis reports detailing their own developmental needs if they aspire to specific positions. An online resume, created and maintained by employees, supervisors, and human resources administrators, can be accessed when searching the employee database for succession candidates.

Job management

Job management displays job descriptions with links to associated competencies, skills, education, training and experience. Administrators can link jobs to skills, set required skill levels, and easily identify incumbents and successors via tree views. Optimize your workforce and execute strategy with TotalPerformance Workforce & Succession Planning.
