Building managerial capability has never been more important. Today @acasorguk have published a report of the key findings of our @ESRC funded research which we started more than 5 yrs ago involving researchers from @UniWestminster @UoS_Management
acas.org.uk/research-and-com…
New @Acas survey finds that 44% of people experienced conflict in the last year - highest yet recorded - with significant negative impacts for individuals and organisations. Here's Richard Saundry and Peter Urwin from @UniWestminster digging into the findings 👇👇👇 Key message - if we're serious about improving productivity we need to build better employment relationships!

There’s a real need for serious debate about the way we manage people and productivity and the role of HR, but this article isn’t it. Arguing that growing ET volumes are positively correlated with a growth in HR is laughable.
“Reducing HR’s expansion and influence, in all sectors but particularly government, may help unleash the productivity gains and growth that have eluded Britain this century.”

The media reporting of 'NHS managers' is so off.
Operational managers on the ground (flow co-ordinators, ward sisters) are VERY different to NHS leadership.
But inexplicably managers are all lumped together & routinely disparaged by politicians. It's inaccurate & distortionary
Crucial point in this post about the importance of investing in improving management quality in the NHS 👍

Delighted to be presenting the findings of our ESRC- funded Skilled Managers research projects today with @acasorguk
Our latest @acasorguk report which looks at managers' experiences of handling formal procedure is out today. Managers not only need more training and support but smarter procedures that help them to resolve issues rather than resort to formal process.

Less than a fifth of the estimated £28.5 Bn business spend on conflict at work - much of which could be avoided if they improved the way they manage their people 👍👍
