There’s a gap in organizational development. We’ve seen it time and time again. Organizational leadership is focused on the wrong areas of their business. We constantly ask leadership to give us a rundown of where they’re spending their time, and it’s typically not focused in the right areas.
That gap is in the middle management layer of development.
A gap in middle management development often leads to massive gaps in succession planning and culture operations. These individuals are going to be an integral part of building your culture and building your people to be aligned with the purpose and goals of the organization. They cannot be forgotten anymore!
Human resources professionals can help prevent manager burnout, and inexperience, by training for skills that may need to grow with your company. This training can involve whatever topics you see fit.
At Culture Works, we offer our clients a robust learning and development package that includes emotional intelligence series, culture operations series, and other assessments to help your team grow to meet their potential.
Our ongoing commitment to our clients is to humanize, customize, and simplify. Humanize your human resources, they are essential to your operational success. Customize your plan to fit your unique business needs. Simplify your processes to weed out what isn’t working for you.
One of your greatest assets is your existing team. How can you encourage your leadership team to coach, mentor, and support your middle management to reach their greatest potential? One-on-one training with upper-level executives helps managers understand what it takes to eventually make it into one of those roles. Your executive team has already proven their ability to be there, and why not have them share that with the rest of your team?
Human resources can have a strong role in this initiative, as they can connect middle management with the executive that aligns with their strengths, skills, and wants. This is where the role alignment aspect of human resources comes into play. Having a pulse on the managers that will turn into great leaders is so essential.
The relationship between HR and the rest of your team should be based on credibility, accountability, and trust. In order for your HR team to successfully align employees in their best suited roles, they need to know the team.
In an effort to support this relationship building, Culture Works helps your organization by taking a deeper look at every layer of your organization. Looking at the culture, company goals, company purpose, and the culture operations and accountability we help to ensure your company’s human resources department is performing optimally. In order to help foster an effective company culture, you must take a step back from the day-to-day. We help identify the culture accountability leaders they have in their workforce, and we proceed from there.
