Lean Into Learning

Did you know- 82% of new managers haven’t had formal training- Over half of managers have NEVER had leadership development. Why does it matter? Poor management impacts staff retention, engagement, productivity, and customer satisfaction. The CMI estimates ineffective management costs UK businesses over £19 billion annually—an average of £3.392 million per company. For a company with 150 employees, this is like employing six extra staff with no increase in output—or paying six people to do nothing, depending on your perspective. Add to this- Engaged employees are 87% less likely to leave- The CIPD estimates rehiring costs are 75% of annual salary. The impact on your employee costs is the equivalent of trying to run a bath without putting a plug in. The solution- Train new managers as they step into leadership roles- Provide ongoing development for existing managers—many haven’t had any training in years.
