Summer Special! WYDOT-U offers succession planning course

By Kurt Borgaard, Training Services

WYDOT University will be hosting a 2-day virtual workshop: “Succession Planning and Knowledge Transfer.”

This virtual workshop will be held on Zoom, starting the afternoon of Aug. 10 from 1:00-4:30 p.m., concluding the morning of Aug. 11 from 8:30 a.m.-12:00 p.m.

You can register for this workshop by Aug. 8 at: https://tinyurl. com/nhnd67vc, or login to the WELL to register.

Why this workshop, why now?

As the workforce ages, most organizations are looking at fairly large numbers of employees reaching retirement age and leaving the organization.

During this workshop, you will have the opportunity to: • Identify the steps needed to transfer the knowledge, skills and expertise of employees who will be leaving to others in the organization. • Define the components of a good succession plan. • Learn how to develop and implement a successful strategy to identify team member knowledge, skills, experience and potential. • Develop and implement a mentoring program. • Explain leadership development strategies. • Describe other ways to ensure the future success of the team and the organization.

Succession planning helps to ensure that an organization is prepared to replace key positions as they come open.
