"The Challenges of Succession Planning in Turbulent Times" Please respond to the following:

Analyze this scenario: The Department of Social Services has lost 25% of its federal funding for the next fiscal year, leaving the budget at a $128,000 deficit. Within the agency, there are 125 full-time employees; the average pay for all employees is $39,000, 75% female and 25% male. In addition, 25% of employees have been with the agency for over 20 years, 20% are near retirement age in three years, and 50% are under the age of 30. Recommend three innovations to implement a succession plan for the agency.

Explanation / Answer

For an organization like this which is facing turbulent times, as it is already experiencing deficit and budget cuts, and above all this, around 20% of its employees are due to retire within 3 years.
