Human Resources
Dutch term or phrase: Opvolgingsmanagement
I am currently working on an HRM translation, and am struggling with the above term.

The context is as follows:

"Hebben jouw medewerkers de capaciteit in huis om doelstellingen te behalen en is de kennis ook gewaarborgd? Verlaten sleutelmedewerkers je organisatie? Dit zijn de vraagstukken als het over personeelsplanning en opvolgingsmanagement gaat. Je HR-adviseur kan je helpen met het in kaart brengen van je personeelsbehoeften en opvolgingsvraagstukken."

Could/Should this term be translated literally (i.e. "follow-up management")?

All suggestions welcome - KudoZ points will be awarded within 72 hours.

Many thanks,

Anne
