The benefits of upskilling your managers
The right leadership is important to any organisation. Training your managers not only improves retention, and employee wellbeing, but can also ensure that you are getting the best from your people, which is good news for business.
Line Manager training is one of the best ways to create effective managers and build effective, productive, and happy organisations (there is that saying that people don’t leave companies, they leave Managers 😊)
.
Whether you have new Managers in your organisation, Managers who have been in post a long time, or you have promoted people through the ranks, simply having a managerial role doesn’t automatically make someone a people manager. To be effective, good leadership skills need to be learned and built on.
Here are some ways that leadership training can improve your business and key areas that you should make sure your managers know how to deal with.
Increase engagement and morale
For employees to progress and grow in their roles, managers need to provide regular constructive feedback. Feedback is essential for your team, yet many managers fail to deliver this sensitive information in a way that is positively received. With the appropriate training, managers can learn how to deliver praise and make employees feel valued while also giving constructive feedback that can help motivate employees to succeed, in turn boosting productivity.
Improved decision making
Being a manager means dealing with regular challenges and diffusing conflict, while also choosing the best course of action for the team and the organisation. To do this successfully, a manager is expected to make sensible and well-informed decisions. Manager training can improve a manager’s ability to do this, so they are always prepared and can confidently lead a team.
