SmartPulse — our weekly reader poll in Smartbrief on Workforce — tracks feedback from leading managers and HR practitioners. We run the poll question each Thursday in our e-newsletter.
Last week, we asked: Do you think your company’s managers have adequate training?
- No — most aren’t well-trained, 42%
- Somewhat — some are well-trained and others aren’t, 40%
- Yes — most are well-trained, 18%
Call me naive but I figured that a higher percentage of people would rate their managers as well trained. As the economy recovers, it makes sense to consider investing in additional training for managers while you still have them (and their employees) on board.
