BOLDLY First Time Managers

Managers are the backbone of every organisation. They directly influence employee engagement, team performance, and overall business outcomes. Yet, many managers step into their roles without the training and support needed to succeed. As an HR leader, you have the unique opportunity to empower your managers with the skills they need to lead effectively—and drive measurable results for your organisation.

At BOLDLY, we’ve developed the Manager Skills Program to address this critical need. Designed to equip managers with the tools, techniques, and mindset required to thrive in their roles, this program is tailored for organisations that understand the strategic value of exceptional leadership.

Why Invest in Manager Development?

Research highlights the far-reaching impact of effective management:

• Boosting Engagement and Productivity: Gallup research shows that managers account for 70% of variance in employee engagement. Well-trained managers foster more engaged, productive teams, which directly translates to improved organisational performance.
• Reducing Turnover: Poor management is the number one reason employees leave their jobs. According to the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), 58% of employees cite their manager as the primary factor influencing their decision to stay or go. Investing in manager development helps retain top talent and saves on turnover costs.
• Driving Financial Results: Companies with strong management practices see a 23% increase in productivity and profitability, according to a study by McKinsey. Well-trained managers are critical to aligning team efforts with business goals.

Despite these advantages, a survey by LinkedIn Learning found that only 37% of managers receive any formal training when they transition into leadership roles. This gap presents a significant opportunity for organisations to build stronger leadership capabilities.
