Settlement service provider organizations continue to face challenges in the critical area of human resources capacity building. Current economic conditions such as affordability and high cost of living have exacerbated struggles related to capacity in HR, such as stretched resources and recruitment difficulties to name a few. Settlement service providers also face the same challenges as Canada of an aging workforce. Even while baby boomers are remaining in the workforce longer, projections show that there may be 50% more people retiring in 2025 than the average of the last 10 years.

Whether it be for extended leaves such as parental or medical, an unexpected departure or a planned one, losing key staff can create several challenges for settlement service organizations. This includes leadership gaps, loss of expertise and knowledge of the organization and uncertainty for staff and potential of low morale just to name a few challenges, all of which affect the quality and amount of service offered.

This workshop will provide an understanding of the steps and considerations to succession planning, the roles that each staff member may play in this and tips for developing a concrete succession plan. Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on their own organization’s needs and share strategies for implementing a plan.

This session is targeted to staff in management positions, HR staff and Board members.
