Well-Being Positively Impacts Performance
We sought to learn more about what it means to be a leader in a workplace with an increasing focus on the balance of well-being and achieving results. The evolution of leadership from the outdated “command and control” model to a more people-focused approach put unique pressure on those in the middle: managers.
Managers are in an increasingly complicated role. While our survey respondents reported facing multiple challenges, balancing employee satisfaction and productivity ranked the highest at 31%, though we found the increased focus on well-being positively impacted performance throughout the organization.
Upskilling Employees Fills the Widening Skills Gaps
In the years since the start of the pandemic and in the wake of The Great Resignation, organizations risked facing unexpected skills gaps within their workforce.
Our research showed that most organizations did not have a clearly identified process or plan for identifying current skills gaps. However, almost half (42%) reported that technical skills were the most critical missing “hard” skill with interpersonal skills following at 36%.
Managers Lack Training on How to Manage Conflict
The sentiments towards conflict in the workplace have slowly changed and we were curious to know whether managers have the tools they need to help their people navigate interpersonal conflict.
It is no surprise that managers struggle to manage employee conflict since only 57% report receiving training in the area. We found that there is a lot of room for improvement in organizations when it comes to equipping managers with the tools they need to navigate conflict in a healthy way.
