FFH currently has 18 store managers who are over the age of 65, and most are considering retirement from the retail store chain. This presents quite the challenge in a changing economy with a global view, so there is an urgent need to create a new job description for the FHH store manager position and a succession plan strategy that addresses steps to take, policies to consider, and appropriate recommendations. If you choose to use a different organization, imagine a similar situation.

Include the following in your succession plan strategy for HR management and organizational leaders:

• Analyze steps for designing a career development plan for FFH stores or a selected organization. What specific training programs should be included for these supervisory and management positions? What external development sources would you use? What legal standards need to be considered?
• Explain what internal policies would need to be reviewed or implemented to support FFH's or a selected organization’s succession planning initiative. How would diversity planning be impacted?
• Recommend a succession plan strategy for each FFH position or a selected organization’s roles/titles. FFH’s positions include:
  • Assistant Department Supervisor.
  • Department Supervisor.
  • Shift Supervisor.
  • Assistant Store Manager.

Your succession plan strategy should demonstrate graduate-level writing skills through the accurate communication of thoughts that support a central idea and use of correct grammar and mechanics as expected of a human resources professional.
