What is STAR

Strategic Talent & Roles (STAR) helps organizations identify and track business-critical employees and roles. It answers the question: If a critical role becomes vacant tomorrow, is there a ready successor to fill the role?

STAR is the risk visibility engine in talent mobility that makes critical roles and critical talent visible, highlights succession risk, and supports structured succession planning and talent decisions.

Why STAR matters

• Tracks critical roles and employees centrally
• Highlights where no succession pipeline exists
• Prompts immediate action to reduce risk
• Supports business continuity and succession planning

How STAR works

1. HR admins mark a role or employee as critical.
2. The system reflects it in the STAR grid.
3. The system prompts to create a succession pipeline.
   • If created → succession planning begins.
   • If skipped → the item remains flagged as “Critical with no pipeline.”

What admins can do in STAR

• Create a pipeline with target role or talent
• Remove criticality
• View associated pipelines
• Identify roles or talent without backups

Strategic Talent & Roles (STAR) is the centralized space in talent mobility where admins identify and manage critical roles and critical talent. The STAR page provides a single, structured view of risk visibility and succession planning.

The STAR is the hub to:

• View all critical roles and talent
• View which roles or talent have no succession pipelines
• Create or remove pipelines directly
• Track successors and audit actions
