Unit 10 – Future Trends and Demands in Public Sector – Human Resources
INTRODUCTION
In the next decade, a tsunami of retirements will test your abilities in HRM in terms of maintaining the skills required by your organization to deliver services to the public (Hays, Kearney, & Coggburn, 2009). In this final unit, you will examine the extent of the problem of retiring workers, examine strategies to reduce its effect on your organization, and develop a new understanding of the value of succession planning as it pertains to acquiring talent for your organization, not just through promotion, but acquisition.
