About Nominating a Successor

To be nominated as a successor, an employee must already be in the Talent Pool for the job.

If an employee has been added to a talent pool for a succession plan, you can click the checkmark icon to add that employee to the list of successors. If you want to nominate an employee who has not yet been added to a talent pool, follow the Nominate Successors to the Talent Pool for a Job steps to add an employee to the Talent Pool first.

When an employee is nominated as a successor:

• The employee is removed from the Talent Pool.
• The job is added to the employee’s Career Path. To see the career paths of your direct reports, click My Employees > My Employees and click the Development button.
