PLANNING FOR TALENT RECRUITMENT, TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT, SUCCESSION AND RETENTION.



SUMMARY

Many organisations and businesses tend to react to their need for successive leaders only when the gaps appear. In such organisations, ensuring the availability of the right talent at all levels at all times and planning for it is not a strategic issue.
The obvious risks are that individuals are thrust into positions of leadership who may not have the skills and the passion to lead. Or gaps occur when there are no plans to fill them either from within or outside. Eventually the companies suffer regrettable loses as a result of lack of clarity in career planning.
It is therefore imperative that the human “raw material” required both for today and the future is clearly specified, sought after, recruited and developed with clear career plans in mind and with clear and committed effort to retain these people.
Planning for the future talent requirements must therefore be at the very core of every company’s strategy.

Speeches

The Chairman of Unilever, Mr Ishmael Yamson, has identified poor governance as the leading contributory factor for Africa's retrogression. He said poor performance by African governments in accountability, transparency, predictability and participation was the bane of the continent's development and progress.

Mr Yamson, therefore, proposed major changes to reverse the trend and the adoption of strategic approaches to Africa’s development by its political leaders.

He was presenting a paper on the topic, "Consolidating Political Stability in Africa for Accelerated Growth":

Possible Initiatives/Role of the Business Sector in Consolidating Political Stability", in the first ever Daily Graphic Accra Governance Dialogue in Accra yesterday.

Mr Yamson challenged governments in Africa to grow out of the tendency of becoming preoccupied with short-term problems and short-term strategies and stressed the need for them to think in the long term and act with the strategic objectives of their countries in view in order to realise the benefits of good governance.

Linking good governance to political stability, high economic growth, sustainable development and accelerated regional and continental integration, he admitted the difficulty in getting good governments on the continent.

That, according to him, was because adherence to the principles of good governance was not robust.

Addressing the factors which drove good governance, Mr Yamson listed nine inclusive principles as important for Africa’s efforts at building and sustaining political stability.

"African leadership with integrity and trust, the capacity and ability to design, own and deliver sound and transformational economic policies, credibility, democracy and culture, as well as integrity, are drivers of good governance," he said.
