The High Cost of Doing Nothing: Lack of Supervisor Training Results in Lower Productivity, Profitability

June 13-14 Workshop Helps Managers to be More Effective, Engaging

Most business leaders understand that effective supervisors are essential for overall organizational success. However, in most organizations, there is a lack of urgency to improve and address training needs. Study after study confirms the direct link between development strategies such as training and coaching to improvements like productivity, profitability and employee retention. To summarize these studies, here are highlights from a recent Gallup study:

  • Poorly managed workgroups are an average 50 percent less productive and 44 percent less profitable than well-managed groups.
  • Ineffective or inconsistent leadership/management is the most common root cause of low morale.
  • The immediate supervisor the number one reason why employees leave

Often times, people who do well at their jobs are promoted to a management position in which they lack the skills and experience to manage. And these new managers may not even realize they are doing a poor job.  These bad bosses lead to financial losses for the company and employees with low morale.

The solution to creating effective front-line managers is providing training that is focused on self-awareness, management skills, and creating employee engagement. Managers who are trained for their position have a positive impact on things like employee performance, engagement, and retention. Up to 50 percent more productive according to Gallup!

NorthStar360 offers an opportunity for local businesses to provide training to their managers coming up June 13 & 14 in Munster, IN. This two-day seminar, “Mastering the Management Essentials” will help front-line managers and supervisors manage more effectively. It is an excellent seminar for both new and seasoned supervisors.

The program runs from 8:30am to 4:30pm both days. Registration for the 2-day session includes all materials, customized action plan, two breakfasts and one lunch.

Gallup: “Immediate Supervisor is Number One Reason Why Employees Leave”

Upcoming Events To Help Managers Master Skills That Engage Employees and Build Productivity

We’ve all heard the expression, “People don’t leave jobs; they leave bosses.” Gallup concurs. In a recent study, Gallup found bad bosses are the number one reason employees leave. Ineffective supervisors are costing organizations turnover and productivity. Gallup found that poorly managed workgroups are an average 50 percent less productive and 44 percent less profitable than well-managed groups. Is this a surprise?
