Why is Manager Poor Performance not on the HR agenda?
We have two very big issues in business today; 1, Middle managers are not addressing poor performing line managers and 2. Line managers are not addressing poor performing employees because middle managers are not encouraging them to do so!
This problem is costing UK business in excess of 20 billion in lost productivity each year (Hay report 2007) yet nobody seems to be addressing it. This site is full of advice and information on every aspect of HR management but this one. Even management bodies such as the ILM and CMI seem to evade discussing this critical issue.
So why are we not airing the problem, is manager poor performance not a HR issue?
