Leadership Mentoring: Successful Succession Planning [2023 Webinar]

Date and Time: February 22, 2023 10am PT / 11am MT / 12pm CT / 1pm ET for 1 hour

Does your agency have a clear system in place that staff can follow to move up in various ranks, rise to various levels, or take on specialized assignments?

Your organization may want to ensure that well-trained and qualified staff are developed for career advancement by offering them the knowledge and experience they need for both temporary and permanent roles at higher levels. Leaders are frequently interested in identifying ways that mentoring programs can be instituted and maintained so that those who wish to advance their careers can learn through skilled guidance while simultaneously performing needed duties within the department.

In this webinar, Dr. Ed Sherman will discuss these topics and provide suggestions about ways to most effectively recruit participants into a mentoring program and impart learning to mentees in a manner that will maximize their interest and involvement. By structuring procedures and practices in a way that assist personnel in getting on and staying on the road to success, both aspiring leaders and agencies stand to benefit.

Take Aways:

During this webinar, participants will learn how to:

• Identify best practices that fit your workplace to address staff trauma and organizational stress based on evidence.
• Enhance and maintain staff morale through promotional opportunities.
• Maximize the longevity and productivity of employees over time.
