When AHF conducted a survey asking members what keeps them up at night, at the top of the list was staffing. Included as part of the staffing equation is the number of AHF baby boomers in director, manager, and other critical positions positions getting ready to retire. Who will take over their positions? Will that person be prepared to lead effectively?
Join us for a webinar that will explore strategies for successful succession planning. How do current critical position holders identify employee potential? What are critical elements to consider in employee development? What steps can employees take to develop their skills and abilities?
Topics will include:
- The importance of succession planning
- Engaging with the C-Suite
- Dealing and coping with change
