People managers’ plates are full. Very full. Reduced budgets and resources have forced them to take on more and more in recent years. Our Manager Report 2012 suggests this has taken its toll on how well they’re managing.
It wasn’t always this way though. In the report we look back at data over the previous four years to see where manager capability is improving and where it is worsening. Don’t panic, it really isn’t all doom and gloom for managers!
The report contains guidance on strategic actions for management development folk on steps they can take to address some of the problem areas. And it makes a strong case for organisations to invest more in training and development and provide better support for people managers.
