Role Transition Plan

Author(s): Jennifer Perrier

Many role transitions are characterized by low productivity and lost opportunities. As one employee exits a role and their successor takes over, a clear checklist-based plan will help ensure a smooth and rapid transition. This template offers:

  • Clear documentation of accountabilities and expectations.
  • Required training activities in preparation for the new role.
  • A checklist of steps for handing off an old role and ramping up on a new one.

In some cases, it can take six months or more for a person in a new role to reach full productivity levels. Cover all the bases and speed this process.
