Succession planning
Wednesday 17 September, 12-1pm
It is a challenging time in the voluntary sector with 2025 being called ‘the year of the big squeeze’.
Feelings of burn-out can lead to people in key positions leaving their roles, often without time for a handover with the incoming person. Besides the personal health cost for the individual who has left suddenly, what does this mean for an organisation? It can be left without critical skills, and there may be a poor onboarding experience for the new person who takes on the role.
Join us for this FREE webinar where Michelle Clarke and Emma Bingham will outline why they started thinking about succession planning and what they learnt, before sharing some straightforward steps you can take in your own organisation.
