The fact that only 38% of employees aspire to be managers and 57% of those that are would rather not be is a terrible reflection of the current workplace. HBR cites that 51% of managers have more responsibilities than they can effectively manage. This has led to 54% of managers suffering from work-induced stress and fatigue, and 44% struggling to provide personalized support to their direct reports. This directly impacts employee turnover, levels of productivity and innovation impacting costs by 10-20% and revenue by 5-15%, things have to change, the status quo is not an option. We are on a mission at Thomas to help companies unlock the value and potential of their employees by building better connections between managers and their teams using behavioural insights to improve communication, trust, productivity, empathy and unlock their future potential.
