Training for people managers

The relationship between managers and their team members is key for the health and wellbeing of the whole organisation. People managers create the golden thread between an individual’s objectives, the team’s plan, and the business’ vision and mission. However, a third (33%) of managers say they are out of their depth supporting their team with mental health concerns. Over a quarter (29%) of managers say that more support and training from their employer would help them to create a team where everyone feels they can bring their whole selves to work. (1) By empowering your people managers to build supported, motivated, and committed teams, you can help create a healthy workplace for all, ensuring your people and organisation thrive.
