Instructions
FFH currently has 18 store managers who are over the age of 65, and most are considering retirement from the retail store chain. This presents quite the challenge in a changing economy with a global view, so there is an urgent need to create a new job description for the FHH store manager position and a succession plan strategy that addresses steps to take, policies to consider, and appropriate recommendations. If you choose to use a different organization, imagine a similar situation.
Include the following in your succession plan strategy for HR management and organizational leaders:
Analyze steps for designing a career development plan for FFH stores. What specific training programs should be included for these supervisory and management positions? What external development sources would you use? What legal standards need to be considered?
Explain what internal policies would need to be reviewed or implemented to support FFH’s succession planning initiative. How would diversity planning be impacted?
Recommend a succession plan strategy for each FFH position roles/titles. FFH’s positions include:
Assistant Department Supervisor.
Department Supervisor.
