It’s critical to prepare for the future today and as such we have continued to build on our comprehensive “Succession Plan” for each position in the Group on a middle management and above level.

All key performance areas, itemized per position, are outlined in this plan with a breakdown of which other person within the business is capable of assuming this function in time to come. The exact timeline is then plotted out in terms of when the successor will be ready to fill the role so that we can co-ordinate the urgency of such placements to coincide with when these people are operationally needed to take over the reins.

Training and Development plans are geared around this information to ensure alignment to group strategy and if a gap is identified where no candidate is seen as a possibility from within the company, relevant recruitment measures are identified and project managed according to the needed time frame to make certain there are no manpower planning shortfalls in any key position throughout our operations.
