  There are many organizations and HR Heads who believe that the succession plan should always be kept confidential and divulging the succession planning process to concerned employees can affect the organization negatively. In many companies, the succession planning process is a mystery and promotions are a surprise.  Even today many management professionals believe that revealing the succession plan to employees can destabilize the organizational harmony and team spirit.

The company right now employs about 85,000 people. The statement from the bank highlights, “A small number of roles are being made redundant in line with our commitment to transforming the bank and ensuring its future competitiveness.” It further stated, “This is not the result of any impact from the COVID-19 pandemic.” Focused on markets in Asia, Africa and the Middle East, the lender has faced pressure from investors to reduce costs to improve returns to boost its share price.
