Eish, when it rains it pours! (But then we did say that we were famous and we had to back it up!).

Jules had another article published in the Star Workplace yesterday, called ‘Create better managers’.

In it Jules talks about current skills retention challenges and states that when employees do decide to leave an organisation, up to 60% are leaving their bosses and not the company.

She also mentions that most companies spend their money on developing talent at senior management and executive levels, and for those individuals who show promise for the future.

But she’s challenging us to think about something;

If people are leaving bosses and not companies, then isn’t it time to teach bosses how to retain their people?

She suggests that if you teach new managers to be better managers of people, those people might just stay long enough to add the value your company needs!

It’s a really thought provoking, interesting article and if you’d like a PDF version to read through, please feel free to email Carin.
