• Key Concepts: 
  Successor Pool is a feature of SAP Talent Management (PA-TM) that allows organizations to identify and develop potential successors for key positions within the company. It enables the organization to create a pool of potential successors for each position, and then track their development over time. This helps ensure that the organization has a ready supply of qualified candidates when a position needs to be filled.
  
  How to Use It: 
  Successor Pool can be used to identify and develop potential successors for key positions within the organization. To do this, the organization must first create a pool of potential successors for each position. This can be done by selecting individuals from the organization's existing employee pool or by recruiting new employees. Once the pool is created, the organization can then track the development of each individual in the pool over time. This will help ensure that the organization has a ready supply of qualified candidates when a position needs to be filled.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a Successor Pool, it is important to ensure that the individuals in the pool are well-suited for the position they are being considered for. This means that they should have the necessary skills and experience to be successful in the role. Additionally, it is important to regularly review and update the pool as needed, as individuals may change their career paths or become unavailable due to other commitments.
