Message from the CEO

Back to blogs

As I reflect on this past year, I find immense pride in the accomplishments of SuccessionHR.  SuccessionHR is the first HR software focused on Succession Planning for mid to large organizations, working with organizations across Canada, the United States, and the United Kingdom.

We have guided HR leaders away from reliance on cumbersome Excel sheets and PowerPoint presentations, providing them with a streamlined platform to manage their Key Role Succession Plans with ease, clarity, and collaboration. With leadership turnover currently at its peak (~20%), proper Succession Planning with SuccessionHR provides the best opportunity for success and risk management.

In 2023, our platform underwent notable expansion, incorporating many specialized features. This includes executive dashboards, advanced filtering options, customizable pool health, frequency selection, self-serve file imports and onboarding processes, multiple user and collaborator functionalities, and an array of distinctive features designed to address the intricacies of effective Succession Planning. Among the more substantial enhancements were the introduction of organizational charts, skills/competencies tracking, career pathways, and integration capabilities with over 50 HRIS systems.

A special thanks to all of our customers and our team that are in constant communication with the shared mission of creating the best Succession Planning tool on the market. Your feedback, support and passion are what make the SuccessionHR community so special.

As we set our sights on 2024, I am confident that SuccessionHR will continue to enhance the way organizations manage Succession Plans. Our goals include expanding our offerings in skills/competencies, enhancing 9-box and other talent grids, refining development plans, and further enhancing career pathways. Here's to a prosperous 2024 filled with new opportunities, exciting challenges, and continued success.
