Takeaways to Help You Assess, Guide, and Help Your Managers Grow
People managers determine 70% of the variance in employee engagement — that means they're the most impactful influencers to your company culture, serving to model and promote productive, healthy, and engaged behavior in your company.
But HR forecasts for 2025 list concerns of possible manager motivation burnout: overworking themselves through poor delegation, declining decision-making quality, and disconnection from a shared purpose.
In this Lunch & Learn, HR Annie will help you:
Assess where your managers need development and upskilling,
Empower your managers to lead your teams to new levels of success,
And strategize about how to give your managers permission to recharge and reset.
The final event of the quarterly theme Thrive Together, this one isn't to be missed!
