Many businesses have a management structure in place, which may allow for several tiers of management and plenty of opportunity for progression within the business.
However, it is only a small percentage of those businesses which devote time and resources to making sure their managers know how to manage.
Take a moment to answer these questions: would you think of riding a motorbike without having any lessons? Would you enter a race without undertaking some form of training? Would you be a Health & Safety representative without having appropriate training?
If the answer to all of these is ‘No’, then you are in the right place. Many businesses have a management structure in place, which may allow for several tiers of management, and plenty of opportunity for progression within the business. However, it is only a small percentage of those businesses which devote time and resources to making sure their managers know how to manage. Managers often find their way to management roles by being very successful at their job – not because they are good managers. It is all very well having policies and procedures in an Employee Handbook but, without training on how to implement and follow these procedures, there is a risk things may go wrong and time and resources will be spent defending an Employment Tribunal claim.
