Snowdrop Fountainexecutive is a succession planning system that gives you a clear view of where to focus your energy to safeguard the business when key employees leave.

Losing your best employees at some point is a certainty for any employer. And whilst you can't expect leavers to have contingencies in place when they eventually walk out the door, you can and should take measures to identify where your biggest losses could be and ensure the replacement skills are readily available. Fountainexecutive has been designed to help you with this goal by quickly identifying key players within key roles and helping you search for other employees in the business that may be able to fill these roles later on.

Fountainexecutive guides you through a process of recording detailed job profiles and matches these with the abilities of people in your organisation, regardless of department or division. It flags up pending retirement dates and contract ends, with a proposed list of successors. From here you can locate any skills gaps and work towards filling them, whilst ensuring that the potential successors are motivated, trained and retained.

Alternatively you may be in the position where the business model changes so frequently and abruptly that you need to quickly identify the people that can drive the new direction. For this you simply create an ideal model for a project team and apply to your employee database for exact or near matches.

Fountainexecutive manages employee competencies (up to three tiers) so that you can assess your people on more than just the hard skills associated with their roles. For example, attitudes and values may be of greater importance in senior positions. Fountainexecutive also provides a variety of different assessments, other than by manager, such as self-assessment and 360 degree, which can be invaluable in gauging a range of perceptions. To help you make the most of employee assessment we also offer specialist consultancy which can you give you a real head-start in shaping up and redefining your skills management, so that you are always one step ahead of the game.

This module is just one of a series of software solutions from Snowdrop, encompassing recruitment, personnel records management, payroll, training administration, succession planning, employee benefits and eHR. All our modules operate either standalone, or as part of a fully integrated solution.
