Organizations without a successor to fill top HR positions may need to take a second look at their leadership development programs. Strategic goals for recruiting, hiring, training and preparing workers for a digital workplace lack continuity if there’s no leadership to see these efforts through.
Many leadership development programs emerge naturally out of a well-managed company culture based in progression, achievement and appreciation, and the two feed into each other naturally. Culture is easier to identify in smaller work environments, but it remains a continued challenge for larger employers. Proactive companies that build an inclusive leadership pipeline will both create and maintain a strong company culture.
