Recap: Step 2 - Define the Role Requirements
Recap: Step 2 - Define the Role Requirements
This step provides tools to create a blueprint that defines eligibility criteria and captures institutional knowledge for high-priority positions in your public health department. This helps ensure continuity and prepares the organization for future staffing needs. Step 2 is about defining the job and readiness expectations. The 9-Box Grid we will use in the subsequent steps is about assessing people against those expectations.
By completing Step 2, your organization now has:
-
Documented key responsibilities for high-priority positions, ensuring continuity in the event of a vacancy.
-
Succession Planning Profiles that outline the skills, competencies, and experience required for success in each role.
-
Readiness considerations that will help assess potential successors in the next steps.
-
Supporting materials and backups to minimize disruption and preserve institutional knowledge.
With this information in hand, your Succession Planning Committee is ready to identify potential successors and begin assessing performance and potential using the 9-Box Grid in Step 3.
