Workforce demographics are changing. Millennials are rising in numbers, and Baby Boomers are retiring. Yet just 5% of companies have implemented specific policies and management practices to address the skills gap as older workers retire. (Source: SHRM-AARP Strategic Workforce Planning Survey, 2012.)
Let River help you address the skills gap and get more out of your succession planning efforts—before it ever becomes an issue.
A mentoring program powered by River can help you effectively connect key employees with trusted leaders so they can share critical knowledge before they leave. This helps guarantee a functional “bench” for your organization’s leadership—and provides a smooth transition can occur as the old guard leaves and the new generation takes over.
