Which country takes best care of new managers?

If you’ve stepped into the shoes of a manager, you’ll remember how daunting your new responsibilities felt. Regulations, conflict resolution, communication, inclusivity, security, recruitment, budgets and balance sheets…the list goes on.

That’s why we as L&D leaders want to help new managers navigate these situations. But are we really doing the best we can to offer our guidance and support? In reality, it’s not so simple. From providing management training at the right time to making the training as role-specific as possible, the truth is: we often miss the mark.

In our latest research, we uncover what people in the US, UK, France, and Germany really think about management training. We also offer tips and techniques for better supporting new managers at the point of need.

And speaking of offering employee support, be sure to check out our new resources on the benefits of peer-driven collaborative learning, what’s involved in becoming a solutions architect, and why designing yourself out of a job might be the best thing you do yet.
