Succession Planning & Talent Management

Healthy businesses don’t just focus on who is working today and what skills they have now; they keep an eye on the future, and where the business is going. People Puzzles Succession Planning and Talent Management HR services can help you foster this strategy of business continuity.

Most small and mid-tier businesses balance developing their own staff, and hiring in new skills from the outside. However, with the cost of recruitment so high, it is often more cost effective and beneficial to promote career development from within.
