The bench strength indicator provides a quick visual cue to succession planners of the overall state of the Succession Org Chart. It allows you to spot those positions most at risk due to low successor readiness, or bench strength.
The system calculates the bench strength for each position based on the highest readiness level among all the successors nominated for that position.
For example, if the highest readiness value is Ready Now and then Ready in 1-2 years, when a position has a successor who is Ready in 1-2 years and no successors are Ready Now for that position, then the bench strength will be Ready in 1-2 years.
When it is configured correctly, the bench strength will be available in the Display Option and it will be visible directly in the Succession Org Chart with a color code.
Note
The Bench Strength is also visible in the Position Dialog Card.
