The importance of good management - and how the UK is falling short
Show Notes

In this podcast, Dr Helen Fitzhugh of the Workplace Wellbeing Research Team at the University of East Anglia talks with Chloe Jepps of CMI about the importance of good management for wellbeing, performance, retention and more. 

With a focus on CMI's recent Better Managers Campaign (report freely downloadable here: https://www.managers.org.uk/knowledge-and-insights/research/better-management-report-take-responsibility-take-action/ ) the podcast also explores other pieces of research carried out by CMI (see below). The findings build to give a rounded picture of the importance we in the UK should be placing on training and supporting managers - for happier workers and smoother-running companies.
