About this event
Most succession planning in retail is reactive. A senior manager leaves, and the scramble begins — an under-prepared internal candidate gets stretched too far, or an expensive external hire is made who doesn't understand the culture.
This webinar makes the case for doing it differently.
Join BRC Learning and TalentMapper for an honest, peer-level conversation about why succession planning fails in retail — and what evidence-based organisations are doing instead. We'll challenge the dominance of the nine-box grid, share current UK data on the cost of getting this wrong, and walk through a practical four-stage model that you can apply regardless of budget or tools.
You'll also hear directly from a retail HR practitioner who has lived the problem and found a better way.
Every attendee will receive the Bench Strength Audit — a free 10-minute self-assessment to help your HR team gauge how succession-ready your organisation really is.
Who should attend: HR Directors, People Directors, and L&D Managers in UK retail.
