You are much more likely to retain people if you invest in them. Your teams feel valued and supported, their morale and confidence will grow supporting your business to achieve its objectives and benefit from improvements in performance and productivity.
Did you know that unless new managers are trained and upskilled, they can cause lasting damage to an organisation? It’s reported that poor management costs employers around £84 billion a year. Meanwhile, the CIPD states that stress continues to be one of the main causes of short and long-term absence – most often caused by workload.
