Built for succession success

Effective leadership demands foresight. Our succession planning tool ensures you have the right data at the right time to provide a truly proactive approach to leadership continuity.

Intuitive talent comparison

The ideal candidate isn’t always top of mind. Keep tabs on your most exceptional talent with comprehensive, side-by-side comparisons, so you can easily and efficiently identify a role’s ideal successor.

Simplified succession reporting

Compliance reporting shouldn’t require an extensive skill set. Our succession planning tool allows you to export successor data, key positions, readiness levels, 9-box talent mapping, visualizations and more with ease.

Unmatched security

Succession shouldn’t be taken lightly, and neither should the security surrounding it. With permission-based access to career and succession planning data, sensitive info is only accessible to authorized users. Plus, you can easily assign view-only permissions.

Simplify succession in a single software

With data from Paycom’s Performance Management, this tool automatically places employees on a 9-box grid for at-a-glance workforce visualization. Plus, easily build a talent development program for potential leaders based on autopopulated performance review scores, Certification Management data and Paycom Learning training history. Gauge program effectiveness with Paycom Surveys.
