As part of its series, Professional Practice Building, the NBCC Foundation invites you to a no-cost webinar on Wednesday, April 17, 2019, from 1–2 pm EST. Live webinars are available at no cost to board certified counselors (NCCs), scholars, and fellows. Professional Practice Building webinars are business-focused and therefore do not offer continuing education credit. A certificate of completion will be available for registrants who attend the full webinar.
Building a successful practice, regardless of the size, requires having properly trained individuals who can fill key positions. Succession planning is the process of ensuring that employees are recruited and developed to fill those key roles within your practice. It is an ongoing process that should begin at the start of building your practice, or as soon as possible after, and continue throughout the span of your practice. It is about practice continuity, building a practice that will endure.
Whether you have a solo practice, small group, or larger practice, finding qualified individuals to fill roles that are unexpectedly left vacant can be a challenge. The benefit to having a succession plan lies in having individuals identified through cross training, development, and/or contingency planning who can step up to fill the gaps. In this webinar we will discuss what succession planning entails and how it relates to other areas of your practice as the business it is and to its overall business strategy.
After this webinar, participants will be able to:
