Generally, concepts arise from our ancestral beliefs and practices. Likewise most of our HR concepts relate with our family practices and beliefs which has been left out for us by our ancestors. Now, we will see the concept of Succession Planning & Mentoring and how does it relates with our traditional practices.
Succession Planning:- Experienced people when they quit their job, they usually train their subordinates for a period of time to make the trainee fit into the quitter’s position. Usually, Dad when he is getting out of his business he makes his successor (son/daughter) get trained in the same field just to make him/her to fit into the Dad’s position.
Mentoring:- Similarly a person with more knowledge and experience will be a mentor for either his/her junior, relative, successor, subordinate or student. That’s how in families we use to get advice from our elderly siblings. Healthy practices like assertiveness, disciplinary procedures, Grievance handling, career planning and poaching everything has emerged from our ancestral family practices.
A socially defined way of behavior have been inculcated in all members of family same as corporates. They mention employees as family members and they bound to follow a corporate culture. This is perpetual and goes on for till the social setup survives.
