Introducing Succession Management
In alignment with industry best practices, our programs and web content now reflect the concept of succession management. Succession management more accurately reflects the ongoing, systematic approach that focuses on an organization's bench expanding beyond leadership roles to include all position types. The good news is, if you are already planning for succession and following CalHR guidance, then you are likely already doing succession management.
Policy Updates
Updates to the 2901 Workforce and Succession Plan Requirements policy are effective November 1, 2019.
If you previously submitted a plan(s) that met the old policy requirements, then you should be in compliance with the new policy and do not have to resubmit until the next survey period. We recommend reading through the clarified requirements in the updated policy to ensure you have captured all of the critical information.

What is Workforce Planning?
Workforce planning is having the right number of people with the right skills in the right jobs at the right time.
Workforce planning is the business process that aligns staffing with the strategic missions and critical needs of the organization. It also forecasts the organization's future workforce needs to ensure your organization will continue to have a talented competent workforce. See the State of
California Workforce Planning Model for an overview of the workforce planning process.
What is Succession Management?
Succession management supports workforce planning by calling attention to internal resources of the department. The process involves identifying and developing current employees with the potential to fill key leadership positions, identifying competency gaps, and developing strategies to addressing the needs.
