Manager & Leader Development
Develop more empathetic leaders that impact employee well-being AND business results
When leaders lack key skills, your organization suffers
Many employees leave jobs because of their Manager
In many employee surveys and attrition research, such as a recent paper from McKinsey, managers are consistently listed as a top reason for employee turnover. A study of US workers revealed that 50% of respondents said they quit a job because of a manager sometime in their career (Gallup State of Manager). In this competitive talent landscape, to keep your top performers, managers and leaders need to use empathetic practices to motivate employees, build a positive team culture, and work through ambiguous situations together transparently.
Managers account for 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores
A recent study by Gallup, covering 2.5 million manager-led teams, found that only 30% of US workers were engaged, and that 70% of that variance could be attributed to managers. This disengagement has a real cost to the business, with Gallup estimating a loss of productivity/effectiveness of over $300 billion annually in the US. Good managers not only need to keep employees from quitting, they need to ensure they align individual career goals with the team’s objectives to accomplish both with high engagement.
