This is so important - the only way you unlock the benefits of investment is to invest in skills at all levels - including the skills managers need to create and sustain productive workplaces

There’s a real need for serious debate about the way we manage people and productivity and the role of HR, but this article isn’t it. Arguing that growing ET volumes are positively correlated with a growth in HR is laughable.

The media reporting of 'NHS managers' is so off.
Operational managers on the ground (flow co-ordinators, ward sisters) are VERY different to NHS leadership.
But inexplicably managers are all lumped together & routinely disparaged by politicians. It's inaccurate & distortionary

Our latest @acasorguk report which looks at managers' experiences of handling formal procedure is out today. Managers not only need more training and support but smarter procedures that help them to resolve issues rather than resort to formal process.

Less than a fifth of the estimated £28.5 Bn business spend on conflict at work - much of which could be avoided if they improved the way they manage their people 👍👍
