Do you have a supply of new employees who can take the reins when your older and more experienced workers start to retire?
The recent CPISC HR Study found that managing the replacement of retired and skilled workers is a real issue for the Canadian printing and graphic communications sector.
To help, a comprehensive background paper: Talent Pipeline has been developed to support better HR decision-making among industry members.
This paper has a focus on assessing current and future business goals. It also identifies strategies to help company owners and managers anticipate future labour demands and develop the capabilities of employees to meet those demands.
While industry jobs might be harder to find in the short-term, the reality is that around 50% of the industry
workforce is nearing retirement.
Within this group are key staff who have critical skills and knowledge that
have been developed over years of working in print.
Ensuring the continuity of such critical
skills requires effective human resource planning and succession management.
To name a few, best practices for succession
management include:
-
taking a good look at current and future business goals
-
anticipating demands in the coming years
-
developing the capabilities in other staff
required for the company to succeed
