Succession Planning in Laboratories Is Topic of Special Audio Conference

AUSTIN, Texas (November 9, 2009)— Most clinical laboratories and pathology groups are unprepared to cope with the numerous and regular wave of impending retirements as Baby Boomer bench supervisors, department managers, and senior administrators reach the age of 65. That makes succession planning a critical success factor for all laboratories in the United States.

To help laboratories prepare for approaching retirements among their management team. The Dark Report http://www.darkreport.com is conducting a special audio conference titled “Succession Planning Essentials: Preparing Your Lab for the Coming Wave of Retiring Managers and Staff,” http://darkdaily.com/audio-conferences/succession-planning-essentials-preparing-your-lab-for-the-coming-wave-of-retiring-managers-and-staff and will take place on Tuesday, November 17 at 1 pm EST. The lead presenter is Jeff Smith, Vice-President of Leadership Development at Slone Partners http://www.slonepartners.com/home.aspx, who will provide expertise and insight on the most effective ways for laboratories to develop an effective succession plan—before retirements occur.

It is probable that several Baby Boomers in key management positions in your lab are already eligible for retirement. Some may have planned their retirement date and have yet to announce their decision to retire. That will leave you with the difficult task of finding good people to replace them. That’s what makes this special succession planning audio conference a timely resource for all lab and pathology managers. Participants will learn the A-to-Z of effective succession planning, including the importance of starting with cornerstone managers—bench supervisors and department heads—then moving up the ladder to top-level lab managers and executives. There will also be valuable tips to crafting the best succession plan for each management level.

Join us and register http://darkdaily.com/audio-conferences/succession-planning-essentials-preparing-your-lab-for-the-coming-wave-of-retiring-managers-and-staff today for the audio conference Members of the laboratory press who would like to access this audio conference should contact THE DARK REPORT for information.
