Leadership | What makes a good manager? And how is it linked to employee experience?

Management within an organisation isn’t a one-size-fits-all scenario. Just as every manager has a different personality, their approach and style of managing is sure to be different.

This can sometimes make it difficult for HR managers to effectively assess the management practices and behaviours of leaders within a company.

No ifs or buts - good management is necessary for the growth and success of your business. Managers are the stewards of HR policies, and the glue that binds an organisation together. Therefore, ensuring managers have the correct skills to lead effectively, and you are able to assess their ability to lead properly, is a defining feature of firms that withstand external pressures.

What does good performance management look like?

Good performance management involves setting clear goals, providing regular feedback, and fostering employee development. It relies on transparent communication, fair evaluations and a culture of continuous improvement.
