TORONTO, Ont. — Planning for the future just go a little easier.

Trucking HR Canada has created an interactive, online tool to help trucking company owners and executives develop succession plans.

Available for $60, The Succession Action Plan, guides users through all four steps of an effective succession planning process—setting priorities, reviewing a company’s “bench strength”, addressing gaps in skill sets, and monitoring succession planning efforts.

As part of the package, Trucking HR Canada is including reference material from Your Guide to Human Resources manuals, addressing topics such as knowledge transfer, and building the business.

“More than 600 fleet managers have already used our free online HR Circle Check to identify strengths and gaps in their existing human resources practices. We found that succession planning was a recurring need,” said Trucking HR Canada CEO Angela Splinter.

“Fleets which enhance the skills of existing employees will always be better prepared to address future opportunities, and help to retain the skilled personnel who are vital to their success.”
