ìOur people are at the centre of our success. They are vital to our future growth,î said Lynn Perry, human resource executive, Arriva. ìOur goal is to make sure that they grow with us. Softscapeís succession planning capabilities will help us identify, prepare, and track potential whilst planning for role continuity.î
Softscape will provide Arriva with the tools to manage its talent more effectively and will support its succession planning process to assist the company in achieving its future objectives and growth plans.
ìCompanies like Arriva recognise that succession planning plays a critical role in long-term organisational sustainability and success,î said Dave Watkins, chief executive officer, Softscape. ìAs part of a comprehensive human capital management process, a succession plan helps an organisation more rapidly identify those employees with high potential for success and the skills appropriate for a given position. It is an important exercise that all decision-makers should embrace and manage to ensure their organisations have the necessary intellectual capital to compete in todayís fast-paced global economy.î
