Frequently asked questions
What is succession planning?
Succession planning is the ongoing process of identifying, assessing and developing employees who can fill key leadership roles in future. It reduces disruption when senior staff retire or leave, and it gives high-potential employees a clear path for growth inside the organisation.
What is a structured interview?
A structured interview, also called a directive interview, asks every candidate the same set of planned questions in the same order, often with set rating scales. This makes answers easier to compare and generally improves the reliability and fairness of selection.
