What managers and HR teams can do to increase manager impact
Some of the findings you’ll explore in this report:
Stress is a huge part of a manager’s day-to-day
Managers have a huge workload that they can’t finish within their normal working hours. The amount of work is often so overwhelming they can’t effectively switch off from work at the end of the day.

Managers’ effectiveness plateaus after the first two years
New managers experience significant growth in their first two years, but that growth slows down afterward. Organizations have an opportunity to invest in training for tenured managers to unlock their full potential.

More is more with effective manager behaviors
Comprehensive 1-on-1s and development-focused goal-setting both lead to significant increases in employee motivation. Even better, doing them together creates an even greater effect – up to 7% greater.
