Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Succession planning is the process of identifying and developing employees who have the potential to fill key positions in the organization that may become vacant unexpectedly due to resignation, retirement, illness, or death. It involves creating a talent pipeline and training the chosen employees to ensure a smooth transition and fill the critical roles without affecting the business operations. Emergency planning is broader and covers all types of unexpected events that may impact the organization's operations, while replacement planning is more short-term and focuses on filling immediate vacancies rather than developing a long-term talent pool. Insurance planning is not related to human resources function.
