Managers are widely recognised as having a pivotal role in shaping workplace health and wellbeing. Yet, with around half of UK managers reportedly saying they no longer want to be in management, and many young people unable to see it as part of their future, there is a growing question about how organisations support the people in these roles.
During a coffee break at our Make a Difference Leaders AGM & Leadership Forum, held at the British Library on 19 October, Matt Balfour caught up with Professor Dame Carol Black GBE, who chaired the event, and Psychologist, Author and Policy Influencer Gethin Nadin, to hear their reflections on the challenges facing employers and what needs to change.
In the video, they make the case for greater investment in developing and training managers, arguing that if they are a linchpin of workplace wellbeing, organisations need to give them the support to fulfil that role.
