We often forget that effective line managers can be the key to the success of any organisation. We cannot run businesses effectively without people, but all too often we do not invest and train in our line managers who have the day-to-day contact with our people to ensure they reach their full potential and deliver for the business.
Training line managers in effective people management skills can benefit an organisation is in so many ways:
If you’re a small business, we recommend that you start as you mean to go on and ensure that you have a good contract and handbook that will support your line managers and give them a consistent foundation. This will give them confidence when making management decisions as the answers are in the handbook – they don’t have to make personal decisions – this also means you are consistent in approach, mitigating against any discriminatory treatments. Of course, managing people can be tricky and nuances within employment law, often means decision-making and navigating through complicated casework is not always straightforward. Managing people without the know-how can cause stress and anxiety for line managers not to mention the stress and risk of tribunal claims for your business.
This is where Centric HR can assist you with training and upskilling line managers without the hassle and fuss. We know that taking time out of busy jobs to undertake training can be both expensive and time-consuming, so we’ve come up with a great offer to get your business and line managers clued up about the simple processes and potential risks that they and your company might come up against. We are launching our Bite-Size People Management Programme for Line Managers. We’ve created a series of 10 live webinars lasting 30 minutes and with 15 minutes for questions that can easily be accommodated into busy working days. We’ve identified these courses using data, which shows trends of queries from clients who ring us for assistance. You can create your own programme for you and your managers by booking on any or all of them.
In conclusion, line manager training is crucial for every organisation. Doing so will promote the development of your line managers, increase employees’ productivity and morale, and improve company success rate. By following these practical tips, you’ll be able to create a customised training programme that works, ensuring that your line managers have the skills, knowledge, and support necessary to thrive in their roles.
