Improving Line Manager effectiveness
A White Paper from Youmanage
The job of the line manager is critical within most organisations. Managers play a vital role in many different ways - ensuring that strategies and policies are implemented successfully, that employees are motivated and competent, and that the organisation complies with relevant legislation and standards.
However, this role is under increasing pressure. People managers – sometimes promoted for their functional competence rather their people skills - are often poorly equipped and lack the tools, information and competencies they need to be effective. As a result, poor management practise is common, with damaging results for employees, organisations and the managers themselves.
Organisations need to find better ways of equipping their people managers to be effective. The good news is that technology-based services like Youmanage offer the opportunity to improve the quality of management in a highly cost-effective way.
This paper considers the typical challenges faced by people managers, the impact that these have on their performance and describes how managers can be easily equipped with the tools, the information and the guidance that they need to be able to manage consistently and effectively.
