Organisations can also use National Occupational Standards to identify who is likely to succeed to a post when someone leaves or retires, and prepare them for their new role.
  1. Identify the units of National Occupational Standards relevant to the post you need to find a successor for.


  2. Identify those individuals in your team or organisation who have similar Role Profiles and compare their Role Profiles with that of the post you need to find a successor for. What are the similarities and differences? What new knowledge, skills and experience might they need to gain in order to be successful in the new post?


  3. Plan to help suitable individuals develop the necessary knowledge and skills and find opportunities for them to gain the necessary experience, under supervision.


  4. When the post becomes vacant, assess and select the most suitable candidate for the post (see the section on recruitment and selection above); don't forget use the same method to fill the post that the candidate leaves vacant!


  5. Remember to provide adequate induction for the new person in post (see the section on induction above). Even though they may come from the same organisation, their new circumstances will be different and they will need support in order to become truly effective in their new role.
