It's no secret that succession planning, retirement; recruitment and retention are
major issues facing the public service. To meet this challenge, you have to address
changing workforce demographics, knowledge transfer strategies, recruitment and
retention, and you must implement, assess, and evaluate, the overall effectiveness of
your succession plan. You are currently facing one of the tightest labor markets in
Canada's history where recruiting -- and above all retaining -- high-potential employees
requires proven techniques that will make your succession plan work.

to build a succession plan that fits your strategic business plan. Hear best practices

plan strategies work for the public service sector and in particular which will meet
