New research from CMI suggests that a lack of competence and misplaced confidence amongst bosses is creating a stressed out workforce. According to the data, 74% of employees have made decisions they don’t feel qualified to make because their manager isn’t supporting them. As a consequence 1 in 3 no longer have faith in what their manager does.
In order to help managers assess their areas of weakness and engage their staff, CMI has launched a new service called ManagementKnow. Developed in association with Cognisco, the leading employee assessment organisation, it has been designed to help managers spot their weaknesses in performance management and employee engagement in order to ensure the harm they cause to their teams is minimised.
How does it work?
Developed in partnership with Cognisco ManagementKnow focuses on evaluating two very important aspects of management competence.
Perform
This module covers the key aspects of performance management, from how managers should set goals and objectives and gain buy-in from staff, to accurately assessing their own teams and managing behavioural and career development. By using Perform to assess your managers, you will be able to test how well they are likely to manage the performance of your employees, helping them to achieve business goals and reach their full potential.
Engage
The Engage module assesses managers on the core competencies that we believe are essential for achieving engagement. It focuses on your managers’ ability to communicate and share information and how they involve their teams in the decision-making process. The module also looks at how managers are likely to motivate others, assesses their ability to facilitate change and provide direction, build relationships and ensure that their teams understand the organisation’s goals and objectives, as well as how their roles contribute to business achievement.
It's simple
Better management performance = improved employee engagement = enhanced productivity = higher productivity.
