Do you want to retain your best employees? Start by investing in your managers.
Do you want to retain your best employees? Start by investing in your managers.
Why? Because people don’t leave companies. They leave managers. In a survey of 3,000 American workers conducted by GoodHire, 82% said they would potentially quit their job if they had a bad manager.
These days, managers need all the help they can get, because they have to navigate:
The Great Resignation
Employee mental health concerns
Employees wanting flexibility
Work-from-home and hybrid cultures
Work uncertainty
And that’s on top of their regular duties! It’s no wonder that 43% of managers say they’re burned out.
No matter how big your company is or what you do, the tone you set for your workplace culture comes from the top down. That said, here are 3 ways you can invest in your managers, Courtesy of Harvard Business Review:
Provide peer-to-peer support: Organize a regular call where managers can share information about projects they’re working on, provide advice, and ask for help.
Strengthen connections: Employees should be forming connections with their managers. This isn’t extra. It’s essential.
Give them room for growth: Give your managers opportunities to learn new skills. Offer them new, unique projects, or start a mentorship program where managers can train under the wing of a coach or mentor.
