Relationship of Manager/Supervisor
What it means: The manager or supervisor relationship is pivotal in employee engagement. Employees are most engaged when their supervisor can provide direction and feedback, cares about them and helps them succeed and grow their career.
When it's a strength
- Managers make frequent, meaningful conversations the centerpiece of the manager-employee relationship
- There is a culture of mutual respect, tolerance, openness, and trust
- Skill gaps in current and future managers are addressed by helping people learn and develop
- Managers have the skills and resources they need to provide career guidance
If it’s a weakness:
- Managers don’t provide enough or effective performance feedback and coaching
- Managers don’t get the necessary training and resources
- Managers can’t give effective coaching
- Managers are overwhelmed with an unreasonable workload
