GW I.A: Succession Planning

Develop a program for enhanced recruitment and retention of employees for all positions

Other Information:

Strategy: During the five year plan period, in addition to any unplanned attrition, five of thirteen current mediators will be eligible for retirement. In order to insure minimal service impact due to the loss of skill and experience levels, the NMB will accomplish the following: • Eighteen months prior to reaching retirement eligibility, the agency will consult with potential retirees regarding career and/or retirement planning. • Budget and FTE permitting, the agency will begin to recruit replacement mediators at least 12 months before any known or anticipated loss. • The agency will expand the existing Mediator Mentoring Program to cover new and existing staff to ensure that individual and group development needs are identified and addressed. • The agency will establish a program of continuing education to ensure all employees of the Agency keep abreast of changing methods and technology needed to accomplish our mission.
