People Management Standards
Great workplaces start with great managers
People managers are the lynchpin of organizational success. Research shows that managers account for at least 70% of the variance in team engagement and that teams led by highly-effective managers are 21% more productive. It’s no wonder that “improving people manager skills” is the number one HR priority globally.
However, very few organizations take the time to outline clear expectations for people management, and hold their people managers to these expectations. JST People Strategy has developed a starter list of People Management Standards that identify key moves that managers can make to manage their teammates effectively. These standards are grounded in research, people science and years of study on great people managers.
