Phases of Talent Management
Why Talent Management/Succession Planning? DOD Talent Management enables management of Senior Executive Service (SES) members at the Enterprise Level, supports growth and development of talent from within the Component/agency, and identifies bench strengths for positions. The DOD Talent Management and Succession Planning process:
- Identifies readiness levels and existing gaps
- Develops existing SES members to meet future needs
- Aids in retention
- Avoids negative mission impact
- Informs the agency of the need to attain talent
During the Talent Management Panel phase, the panel develops slates that:
- Serve as indicators of bench strength
- Identify candidates to fill a vacancy within the next 12 months
- Present career-broadening opportunities to advance experiences of the workforce
- Promote greater feedback to SES and allows for deliberate development
