How L&D can provide the one thing new managers need

Managers are key to the success of any business as they have the responsibility to oversee people, engagement and work product. Strong mangers not only assure work is being completed correctly and safely, but also promote a sense of purpose and pride that can translate to productivity, retention and growth. But today's managers are much busier than their predecessors. Team members look to them for more than guidance on daily work: they expect their manager to help guide their career, developing skills and characteristics that will help them advance. In today's talent market, managers who don't help their staff grow are likely to sow discontent. With so much responsibility on their shoulders, managers need more support and training than they're typically given. Many report they aren't getting the training they need, leading to a feeling of being overwhelmed at work. But organizations that provide the proper training and development may see key performance indicators rise, along with higher engagement and lower attrition.
