This allows talent pools to address the biggest challenge with succession planning, which is telling individuals they're part of the plan. Organizations can communicate to a group, "You're the future of the company," instead of telling an individual, "You are our next chief marketing officer."

Implementing a High Performance Work System

High Performance Work System is a name given to a set of management practices that attempt to create an environment within an organization where the employee has greater involvement and responsibility. More specifically, HPWS has been defined by Bohlander et al (2004) as “a specific combination of HR practices, work structures, and processes that maximizes employee knowledge, skill, commitment and flexibility” (Bohlander & Snell, 2004, p. 690).
