Leadership Development & Organisational Resilience

Creating highly engaged teams through authentic human connection

STATE OF THE GLOBAL WORKPLACE

79% of employees are either not engaged or actively disengaged

50% are either watching for or actively seeking new job

A Gallup study found that participants in manager training courses focused on management best practices experienced up to 22% higher engagement than non-participants.

In addition, the teams led by those participants saw engagement rise by up to 18%.

These results were found nine to 18 months after training, suggesting that the influence of manager training may have a lasting effect.
