Karistem helps a leading player in the energy industry roll out
global processes for retention and succession planning
Context
The company recently had to manage a high number of successions among the senior population (including the CEO). Due to the lack of properly prepared internal successors, some of these successions were difficult to manage and deeply impacted the Group’s productivity.
As a consequence, HR management decided to implement global processes and tools to improve employee retention and succession planning in all the entities of the Group.
Karistem was asked to assist the Company in this project.
Mission
Converting HR management’s ambition into reality introduced three main challenges:
- Designing effective retention and succession planning processes and rolling them out worldwide
- Educating managers on new concepts (e.g. key people, critical positions, people at risk…) and the importance of getting to know their team better
- Improving HR teams’ ability to manage retention risks and successions in a proper and timely manner
Karistem worked hand-in-hand with the Client’s team in order to achieve these objectives.
