Arab British Fellowship Training Academy offers a course on how to plan for employee succession. Succession planning is the process of identifying an organization's critical roles and potential successors, then equipping them with the skills and experience needed for current and future opportunities, helping the organization sustain its success both now and in the future through an effective plan for its key positions.
