Attempt to analyze succession management in the Cosider Group

Abstract

Succession management is a sensitive topic and represents one of the most important challenges facing the leaders of large companies today. It is a proactive approach, led by the HR function, which enables the company's future to be prepared by identifying potential successors for all key jobs. It takes into account the potential and talents of employees to help them progress and develop their skills in order to encourage the retention of the best. The Cosider Group is one of the companies that have implemented this approach because it has clearly understood that building its own pool of skills by training the next generation is a major challenge for achieving its medium and long-term strategic objectives. Nevertheless, the approach is still in its infancy and needs to be improved, particularly by developing tools such as the provisional job and skill management and skills reference systems.
