Overview

Good line managers are recognised and valued by employees, and when employees have supportive relationships with their line manager, they express greater happiness with a wide range of other features of their working life, and see the formal process of appraisal as a valuable tool to achieving organisation, team and individual objectives.

A ‘good’ manager engages with their staff’s performance, empowering them and encouraging feedback and regular appraisals. They are committed to staff development, championing PDPs, facilitating access to formal training, and promoting the value of, and access to, less-formal development opportunities.
