March 25, 2009 - LSA Global, the premier one-stop global training and consulting firm that focuses on achieving measurable business results with a select group of clients, today announced the offering of a new complimentary Health Check to help companies assess the effectiveness of their managers.
At a time when we are asking managers and employees to do more with less, this complimentary health check is an easy tool to help assess if your managers are driving higher productivity, retaining and developing top talent, and increasing profitability, according to Sheila Ingraham-Russell, Head of the Management Practice for LSA Global. "While many companies are scrambling to cut costs and make it through the next quarter, leading organizations are making sure that their front-line managers have what it takes to succeed.
Can you afford to have nearly 53% of your newly promoted managers fail within the first 18 months? According to Fortune Magazine that is what is happening today in corporate America. Another startling statistic from a recent Gallup survey: poorly managed employees are an average 50% less productive and their companies 44% less profitable than well-managed ones.
At a time when many companies are struggling to succeed, those statistics are unacceptable to us. The good news is that the grim data may be shining a light on an opportunity for you and your organization.
Does your organization effectively ensure that your managers have the tools, skills and knowledge to do their jobs in today's economy?
According to Ingraham-Russell, If not, you have a wonderful opportunity to reduce costs, increase productivity, and come out of this economic storm stronger than you were before. And, though it certainly would be easy to stick with status quo or simply provide generic management eLearning, our research tells us that it will not truly change behavior or results.
Based upon over 20 years of research and data gathered from over 20,000 managers and 60,000 employees across multiple industries, we have identified the core attributes that make up an effective and successful manager.
How do your managers stack up? Taking 10 minutes to complete this confidential and complimentary Management Health Check will give you a snapshot of how your organization compares to best practices and could be the first step toward increasing productivity and profitability for you and your company.
