Article - New Research: Managers’ Skills Aren’t Meeting Employee Expectations

A recent study by Unmind has uncovered a disconnect between managers’ training and employee expectations. Some key findings include:

• 40% of UK employees don’t believe their manager has the right skills or training.

• Despite 83% of managers reporting formal training, only 63% of employees agree.

• 57% of employees believe their manager could benefit from more education.

• 67% have quit or considered quitting due to poor management.

HR leaders play a critical role in bridging this gap by leveraging data and employee feedback to provide targeted manager training that also tackles emotional intelligence and not just focusing on hard skills.

This article from HR magazine delves deeper into this issue.
