Public sector power hour: Succession planning for workforce stability
February 26, 2025 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST
On average, local government entities – schools, cities, utilities and counties – spend a substantial amount of their budgets on wages, salaries and benefits because public services, more so than in the private sector, rely heavily on people performing the work. However, many organizations do not intentionally focus on how turnover risk, vacancy rates and retention initiatives can impact their service delivery. Just as you need a strategic plan, capital improvement plan and master plan, a comprehensive workforce succession plan is essential to ensure critical operations continue when employees retire or move to other organizations.
Join Baker Tilly for a panel discussion to discover how both large and small public sector entities have developed and implemented workforce succession plans. Learn how these plans can prevent future vacancies from hindering their ability to meet immediate service needs and achieve long-term goals.
Learning objectives:
- Understand the importance of workforce succession planning and why a comprehensive succession plan is crucial for ensuring continuity and therefore service delivery for public sector entities.
- Identify key strategies for effective succession planning and hear best practices that both large and small public sector entities have successfully implemented and the positive impacts they have had on their organizations.
- Gain practical insights into creating and implementing actional workforce succession plans.
